Degrassi - The Next Generation.

Yesterday afternoon on the ABC the third season of Degrassi - The Next Generation started! It's amazing to watch some of the classic characters from the Degrassi I grew up with now returning as the adults in the new show. Joey and Caitlin, Spike and Snake - all these guys are my age!

The first show of the new season started with Emma, the baby Spike had in high school, now a Year 10 student at Degrassi, searching for her father. As we all know, her father was Shane and from what I remember he went to a concert and used drugs and then fell off a bridge which resulted in a permanent brain injury. I guess no one told Emma this because when the show ended yesterday she had just found Shane in an institution. It's looking pretty unlikely Shane will be able to remember Emma at all, let alone be the father she has hoped for.

Can't wait for next week!

    Ahh...a subject very close to my heart. I did see the "Next Generation" was back...though from what you're saying it sounds like they've gone right back to the very first ep. I won't spoil anything for you.

    You are right about the fate of Shane.

    Once Degrassi Junior High evolved into Degrassi High, I was the exact same age as the characters.

    Did you see the feature film finale to the series -- "Degrassi: School's Out"? Bleak but brilliant.
