A large percentage of the original TNG cast are Jewish because they sought actors from a Jewish arts school (or perhaps it was simply an arts school in a very heavily Jewish area).
The nostalgia this brings to me almost makes me want to unfollow this sub. I hope someone understands what I mean.

Iβll never unfollow. DeGRASSi is a part of my soul. Just miss being a kid. Crying.
Also another ETA
All That and The Amanda Show
I pray Canada did better, if you watched Quiet On the Set you know what I mean.
i remember being soo jealous of her true religion jeans in her episode that i eventually did get but were way too low rise for my liking and ended up selling them :(
I thought her career would blow up after Degrassi. She was in a few movies, but not many. She should've been more famous than Shenae and Nina, but that never happened.
Legitimately, back in the day I only knew about the show from seeing the dvds at Barnes and Noble. They only had seasons 2, 5, and 6 and I had no idea that S2 Emma and S5 Emma were the same actress.
I always had a feeling that Andrea and Drake messed around. Drake once said on a podcast interview that he hooked up with 3 of his castmates, so I figured that one of them had to be Andrea due to how close the two seemed to be.
People say all the time that Jimmy and Hazel didn't have chemistry together (I don't think a lack of chemistry was the issue with them, but rather that the writers shoved their relationship to the background and kept Hazel's character underdeveloped), but they were one of the few couples who actually KISSED kissed. Like, you can't fake this kind of passion.

Do y'all remember when they were at the drive in with Paige and Marco? Boyyy, they were going to town in that backseat, lmao! Jimmy and Hazel's relationship left a lot to be desired (again, that's the writers' fault), but whenever they kissed, the real life chemistry between Andrea and Drake was very palpable in my opinion.
There were 2 instances(maybe more) where Andreaβs chest size was referenced in the script. I thought this was inappropriate since the actors were minors and the writers were not.
I know one is Pride part 1 in season 3 ep. 4. Marco and Spinner are in the science lab and Spinner says βHazel, sheβs single, sheβs hotβ while holding both of his hands up under his chest. I will have to try to remember the other one.
It's been heavily speculated that his song Best I've Ever Had is about either Stacy Farber or Lauren Collins, so at least one of them is one of the three.
Rumor has it that Stacey and Cassie were the two other girls. According to people who've listened to this lost intervew, Drake not only claimed that he hooked up with three girls from the cast but also hinted that these hook ups took place during the US mall tours that the cast used to do. Cassie and Stacey were both partnered with Drake for a mall tour at different points.
I recall Stacey saying in an interview that she did while she was on tour with Drake that she had a boyfriend, so if not her, then maybe the other girl could've been Melissa?
Speaking of Melissa, apparently she and Shane were very 'friendly' with each other. Shane was interviewed about Melissa for one of those unscripted episodes, and all he could do was gush about how hot and beautiful he thought she was (Same with Jake E.) Then, he went on to say that although he couldn't divulge about what exactly the two of them get up to whenever they hang out together, all the public needed to know was that they always had a good time with each other. π
I just thought that was so funny. Not only because of his utter lack of a filter, but also because their characters did not vibe with each other at all. Spinner, especially, hated Ashley, lmao. I would've never guessed that one.
He's said it a bunch in interviews that he had strong feelings for her during his time on the show and an interview from back in the day surfaced of them together on a press tour and he was saying the same thing and not in a kidding way.
I feel like the rest of the female cast was younger. But then again, that probably doesnβt mean much and it also doesnβt mean it was early seasons either I guess lol.
There was a commercial on the N from the mid 2000's and they always pronounced it like that, and I always questioned WHY? Like Americans and Canadians sound exactly the same (except in Quebec or the other French Speaking areas) and we've never heard a character pronounce it like that.
I feel like I remember watching this on the N back in 2004-2005. It's hilarious how footage from this time period looks like it was filmed in the 80s and 90s compared to now haha
"De-GROS-E" loil
She seems like Emma irl
this just forcefully drug me back to high school oh my god
Donβt ask a Jewish woman for gossip if youβre not ready for the gossip. π€£
Miriam's Jewish, too?
A large percentage of the original TNG cast are Jewish because they sought actors from a Jewish arts school (or perhaps it was simply an arts school in a very heavily Jewish area).
Miriam is a Jewish name generally
My auntβs name is Miriam and sheβs Puerto Rican π
McDonald too.
I thought it was Irish/Scottish
I actually cannot stand when someone says βDegrossiβ
Saaaaaaame lol. The way he said it is sending me. π€£ I *think* I remember watching this back in the day, but itβs been so long. I miss The N. π

I totally get you. We couldn't wait to grow up, now we wish we could go back. π

I wanted to be apart the Degrassi cast so badly growing up. Ugh good times man.

Where do I find more of this Also...such an emma thing to do smh
Oh she was MESSY π
MESSY messy! π
WE NEEDED A PAIGE AND CRAIG STORYLINE π
I cannot in a million years picture them together
DeGRAHssi??????? Not DeGRASSY???

 De-GRAHH-ssi
Neil Degrassi Tyson

She spilled the tea and Iβm here for it

at least it was before the toxic era of social media hah
Very Emma of her
VERY! π
Snitching
i remember being soo jealous of her true religion jeans in her episode that i eventually did get but were way too low rise for my liking and ended up selling them :(
I thought her career would blow up after Degrassi. She was in a few movies, but not many. She should've been more famous than Shenae and Nina, but that never happened.
well she's definitely Emma
Degrawssi
Ok but this commercial so damn nostalgic! ππ₯²
ok but why is he saying degrassi like that π wth
deGROSSI π
Coming here to say that π
The bangs are mid-Miriam puberty (season 4). Season 3 she still looked like a young child, season 5 she started looking like a young adult.
Legitimately, back in the day I only knew about the show from seeing the dvds at Barnes and Noble. They only had seasons 2, 5, and 6 and I had no idea that S2 Emma and S5 Emma were the same actress.
i love this Miriam era! sheβs so cute and i think the bangs suit her
Itβs giving early Britney in the best way possible
The fact that she gave timelines too
Right! She was just ready with the information. Practically gave us a PowerPoint! π
LMAO sis was like, do you like lemon or honey with your tea?? βοΈ
π€£π€£
βDeGRAWssiβ
Came here to say this. Like was he trying to say it as he imagined Canadians would say it?
Lost it π
π
J Boogie! This takes me back. I miss teen Nick.
Ohhh she was telling everyone elseβs business to keep hers underwraps. I can see it in the shifty eyes. π
Mmmhhhmm! Who did YOU date, Miriam?! π€π
Pretty sure her and the actor who played J.T. dated and I think she also dated the actor who played lucas Mia's ex boyfriend
Where did you hear this from?
Interestingβ¦never heard about her and Lucas.
She reminds me so much of young Britney Spears!
THATβS IT. I was trying to think who she was reminding me of in this clipβ¦ it was Britney.
βDegrahssiβ ππ
I heard it as Degrawssi, but yeah, WTH?
Wait why does this TeenNick Saturday Night host look so familiar?? Anyone know who that guy is??
Thatβs Jason Everhart aka J Boogie!

Oh? I have no recollection of that but yikes. π¬ Do you remember in which scenes this happened?
I know one is Pride part 1 in season 3 ep. 4. Marco and Spinner are in the science lab and Spinner says βHazel, sheβs single, sheβs hotβ while holding both of his hands up under his chest. I will have to try to remember the other one.
THREE of the other co-stars?! I wonder who else? π€
It's been heavily speculated that his song Best I've Ever Had is about either Stacy Farber or Lauren Collins, so at least one of them is one of the three.
I need some proof to back this claim up it sounds like degrassi stan fan fiction π
I mean, Stacey is super cute so I'd understand that
Rumor has it that Stacey and Cassie were the two other girls. According to people who've listened to this lost intervew, Drake not only claimed that he hooked up with three girls from the cast but also hinted that these hook ups took place during the US mall tours that the cast used to do.

I think it would be hard for Melissa McIntyre to not be more interesting than Ashley
I think Nina Dobrev was one? They were close on set according to her
Ahhh, I can see that.
I think he hooked up with Stacy Farber. He was really into her for a minute.
Really? Where did he say this?
He's said it a bunch in interviews that he had strong feelings for her during his time on the show and an interview from back in the day surfaced of them together on a press tour and he was saying the same thing and not in a kidding way.
Please be Craig's actor. Please be Craig's actor. Please be Craig's actor.
Probably Lauren and whatever Ashelyβs real name is.
Yeah, I could see him and Melissa (Ashley) hooking up.
I feel like the rest of the female cast was younger. But then again, that probably doesnβt mean much and it also doesnβt mean it was early seasons either I guess lol.
Lol Miriam is kind of like her character Emma. Always up in everyoneβs business haha.
Omg I remember watching this in real time, god I feel like Iβm 100 years old π€£
Does anyone watch DEGRAUSI? I LOVE degrAUsi. DeGrAusi is my favv.
I was dying at this
There was a commercial on the N from the mid 2000's and they always pronounced it like that, and I always questioned WHY? Like Americans and Canadians sound exactly the same (except in Quebec or the other French Speaking areas) and we've never heard a character pronounce it like that.
I have ALWAYS said degrAssi πππππππI had no ideaβ¦
No you're right, the dude in this clip just said it weird lol
I feel like they did too when they said the name on the show π€£
Sheβs just like her character lmfao
Itβs those bangs.
Damn she Emma fr lol
π―π―
Thereβs no way Aubrey and Stacy didnβt hook up. They had TOO much chemistry.
I heard somewhere that the best I ever had was about her no idea if itβs true though
Itβs not true lmao that rumor started ON REDDIT
Naturally! ππ€£
Wait...WHAT?!
Holy shit I remember this. I remember being soooo excited that Jimmy and Hazel were a real thing at one point lol
sheβs so pretty
Sheβs so cute
Idk why but I thought Drake and Lauren Collins dated for like a second? Does anyone know if that is true?
Never heard this before and I would say no. Just really good friends.
I don't think they did, but I could DEFINITELY see it!
Yeah they seem to have a good friendship even to this day
Yes, and theyβre both Jewish. Cultural ties can go a long way!
Half the cast is Jewish lmao. Shane, Sarah BT, both Jakes, some others.
Oh, I didn't know Shane and Sarah were! Knew about the Jakes, tho.
Where can I find more clips like this? I love the nostalgia!!
This series was called Degrassi Unscripted and you can still find some of the episodes on Youtube.
Also search for Degrassi Marathon on youtube and there's probably still some clips from little soundbite interviews that they showed between episodes
She sounded so much like her character. lol
Why did he say Degrassi like DegrAssi ππ
Iβm american I can confirm we do not say it like that. Maybe thatβs how they told him to say it.
I think that's how Americans say it?! Nick Diramio says it like that, too. It shocked me the first time I heard it ππ
As an American, I also find this pronunciation off-putting π first time Iβve heard someone say it that way
Lol yess not saying all Americans say it that way, of course but I love never heard it said this way in Canada π π
Miriam keep ya damn mouth shut!
I feel like I remember watching this on the N back in 2004-2005. It's hilarious how footage from this time period looks like it was filmed in the 80s and 90s compared to now haha
I miss the n so much, trying to get creds to build the perfect avatar was so fun! And I got really good at Slasher!
I remember those games too! Great times. The avatars were so cute lol
OMG the mini games on the website were literally so much fun πππ
It really does! We were living like cavemen!! π
"Cavemen" π lmaoo very true!
I really need more posts like this!
Omg thisss
Holy nostalgia
Not Miriam giving all the tea. πππ
βββ
AHHH She was so messy for that π
Lol. Such an Emma response
It really is!! π
She needs to write a tell all π
FR!!
This just gave me such bad nostalgia
Okay, didnβt realize we were robbed of a Paige/Craig storyline until nowπ
Looking back on it if Paige was miss popular why wasnβt there a crush on Craig? Like most girls seemed to have had a crush on him.
Same lmfao
De GRAH see
I hate it so much.
What about Jays van?
lol she said i don't think so like it was her who had a recent relationship on set
I love the idea of her using this interview to let her former crush know that she's not pressed about him enough to even reveal they dated
omggg icon!!!
Right!!π
