Bonus - What does Degrassi High look like today?
I visited the real filming location for Degrassi High at Story Arts Centre (Centennial College) and filmed a tour of the campus.
From the iconic ramp to the quad, this video cuts between what it looks like now and scenes from the show filmed in those exact same spots.
Fun fact: the panelling at Degrassi High actually inspired the set design for Degrassi: The Next Generation.
What does it feel like seeing Degrassi High today?

816 - Our watch party with Alex Harrouch (Leo) was such a fun night, and even though the audio didn’t record during our event, I still wanted to share something so you could relive the magic of the event.I edited together a replay video that includes Leo’s Degrassi scenes, Alex reacting, and the live chat as it happened. Even without audio, you can still catch the moments, the facial reactions, and the absolute chaos in the chat. 😂If you want the full storytelling side of the night, you can also visit this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/night-with-alex-154231983, where I wrote up Alex’s memories and behind-the-scenes details from the watch party.Thanks for making this event so special, and thank you for being patient with the tech hiccup.Alex Harrouch: IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4270462/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aharrouchDegrassi Kid: http://www.patreon.com/degrassikidhttp://www.discord.gg/degrassikid http://www.instagram.com/degrassikidhttp://www.tiktok.com/@degrassi_kid degrassikidpodcast@gmail.com

In this episode, I’m joined by Miriam McDonald (Emma Nelson) for a heartfelt conversation about Presence for Paws, including why it matters to her, how it supports rescue dogs in need, and how fans can get involved.
And yes, we get into Degrassi drama! Miriam shares her real thoughts on Emma's relationships with Sean & Spinner, offers an important clarification about Emma's eating disorder episode, and reflects on filming some of the show’s darker moments, including the school shooting storyline and the creepy scenes with "Jordan." It’s honest, thoughtful, and full of behind-the-scenes perspective.

In this episode, I’m joined by Luke Bilyk, who played Drew Torres from Seasons 10–14. We talk about what it was like stepping into Degrassi at peak intensity, including how Luke somehow found himself part of an on-set “mafia family,” and what day-to-day life looked like behind the camera.
Luke also shares his honest reaction to seeing Drew and Becky become a couple, plus the fun Degrassi deep-cut: which episodes he appeared in before he ever played Drew at all.

810 - What can Degrassi: The Next Generation teach us about unhealthy relationship dynamics, attachment styles, and the messy reality of teen love?
Alexa Katchinska, a relationship coach known for her TikTok lives, joins me to dive into Degrassi's unhealthy relationships.
We're diving into six Degrassi: TNG couples, unpacking their attachment styles, where things get healthy vs. unhealthy, and what advice Alexa would give them if they were real clients.
We'll cover the obvious relationships like Eli & Clare or Manny, Ashley & Craig, but, we'll also cover our relationship hot takes. Relationships on Degrassi that the fandom loves, that we think fall into an unhealthy relationship.
We want to know - what do you think?

Bonus - What really happened in Degrassi’s deleted scenes? Did the show make the right call cutting them?
In this video, I dive deep into a collection of deleted scenes from Degrassi: The Next Generation. From Wheels giving Lucy an emotional apology to Downtown Sasquatch debating their band name. Some scenes add surprising layers to the characters, others… yeah, deserved to stay on the cutting room floor.Together, we’ll break down what each deleted moment adds (or doesn’t) to the story, why it may have been removed, and whether keeping it would have changed anything for our favourite Degrassi arcs.
Because at Degrassi… even the deleted scenes go there.
