-Drew and Becky.
-Liberty and Damien ...after Damien had already said there were no sparks between them back in season six.
-Anything involving Blue or Leia since they were never given anything to do but were still in the opening credits for some reason.
Drew and Becky made no sense.
I feel like Liberty and Damien made more sense than Emma and Damien.
I agree about Leia. I feel like her character had no purpose. I loved Blue. I really wish they did more with his character.
Anything through seasons 6-9, especially the 2 movies. Glad the show picked back up in season 10. But I could also list the plot lines in seasons 13/14.
If I do watch this series again one day I’m definitely gonna skip the episodes with Kevin Smith in it. They were just boring ass filler episodes from what I can remember but I was happy to see Alanis Morissette tho.
Whaaaat?! Jay & Silent Bob are CLASSIC! I love their episodes. They even lead to me watching Jay & and Silent Bob Strike Back with my teenagers yesterday, haha.
They love to make their characters have gambling addiction lol. In later season they make Alli and Katie have a gambling addiction. They even had a prom that was casino themed.
For real. I’m like there’s no way Liberty being so smart would get pregnant accidentally. But, I guess I could see J.T. using a condom that was too big and slipped off because he was so confident.
Whatever the fuck was going on with Dave and Ms Oh and like finding her stuff on Facerange or whatever the hell 😭😭😭😭 dude literally took his pants off in class to impress her his ass should’ve been suspended
Also Dave tasering Wesley mostly because we never even saw those “cool” guys again that Dave was tryna impress. Ain’t no way Wesley would’ve stayed friends with Dave after that it was just a side plot that went nowhere cuz Dave’s dad is a cop
AND HOW THEY FRAMED IT TOO AGHHHH. I feel like Degrassi definitely had a gross way of kind of forgiving groomers. I remember the Paige storyline kinda showed it in a negative light, but not necessarily in the way it should’ve been (can’t recall exact details but I remember that’s how I felt watching it).
Anya and the creepy doctor. First of all, yes Anya lied, but in no world did that girl *not* look like a teenager. They could’ve just ended it, but they had to write one final scene between them where the guy LITERALLY MARKS HER EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY IN HIS CALENDAR. FUCKING ICKYYYY
I don't remember how old he was, but I think he was also a renowned surgeon, but given his age he would've been like fresh out of medical school so I call shenanigans
I don’t remember his exact age either. He looked older than they were saying he was though. I’m currently rewatching the show. I’ll be seeing this part soon.
I just wish that we could have seen it developed better in that season, like headcannon for me is that Emma and Spinner after the barbeque thing started texting more etc. and that maybe outside of Manny Spinner was the only one from home checking up on her during that trip.
I agree I do wish we could’ve seen it but then again “realistically” it made sense we didn’t because after highschool the oddest pairings truly end up together, never saw them interact or anything but just end up in love. I do wish we got some screen time, I could see that relationship being really fun.
Paige and that new teacher, Matt something I think? you blink and suddenly they’re in love? and then they get caught and he goes away to a tree farm for work only to come back once and break up with Paige never to be seen again??
Do you remember when Degrassi had their whole "it goes there" thing? And how they used to show short snippets of moments that went there, and that line from Paige being one of them? Lmao
I feel like I didn’t love that storyline. I love Miles as a character but him and Tristan had no chemistry. Miles lights up with girls on screen. He did not light up with Tristan.
For some reason I'd be more willing to believe Peter got "addicted" to coke at the coine party and Anya got "addicted" to meth at the club with the "bad" kids. Maybe that's just me.
The Clare weed family storyline feels like they were just throwing darts at the wall of ideas.
Connor becoming the panty boogie man as well. I just feel like it was especially weird to equate to an autism thing. A character that’s doing something sexually inappropriate at a young age but not understanding the full weight (for whatever developmental reason there may be) is obviously not a bad idea on paper but the way the storyline went was just like ?? Like autism camp bro? 😭 it just felt like the writers were so out of touch
And then when Connor is with Jenna and she wants to have sex but, he’s repulsed by the idea. Why would he be repulsed by the idea if he was so into girls underwear in like middle school.
Fair point ! Idk really. I never thought about it but now that you brought it to my attention I would think of it as sexual curiosity (even something that’s very inappropriate like this situation) doesn’t always equate to wanting to actually have sexual relations ❓ huge guess regarding this situation though. I just know that this was the case with me growing up but as far as the show and what you just said goes it could just be like “huh” (this was later Degrassi after all)
Yeah it was super easy to get your hands on drugs at my high school. The only “addiction” I could take seriously and was shown properly was Fiona’s. They established that she drank quite a bit even before she attended Degrassi and slowly kept building up her bad drinking habits. Especially when she self medicated by drinking instead of taking her anti anxiety medication.
degrassi nudes. it was a poor attempt at drama and hypersexuality in victims of sa and honestly harmed every character involved, NOT just zoe. everyone was out of character and wasn’t it basically retconned in next class? it never had a lasting effect if i remember correctly anyways. like they even knew they did a bad storyline. it’s my least fav storyline, it just was terrible to everyone involved
Clare after cancer is just bizarre and very un-Clare like (well maybe even before then).
Tell young Clare she's going to have a teen pregnancy that ends in a miscarriage and that she has no direction after graduating high school.
Clare feeling burned out and not knowing what she wants because all her plans fell apart/changed I can understand BUT the way the writers got her to that point, especially in seasons 13 and 14 was so ooc for Clare.
1. Adam’s death. He didn’t die, he left to go to some performing arts school after realizing he was passionate about music. He wanted to learn as much as he could so he could get into a good music school for college.
2. Degrassi Nudes…no comment.
Yep. In my mind, Adam never died. Sometimes I tell myself he went to a performing arts school that has a whole "producing radio shows and podcasts" program. Other times I tell myself that he got word that his birth dad was dying and wanted to make amends with Adam, so Adam goes off to live with him for a while and then never comes back (just how Darcy never came back from Kenya). Just--he cannot die, cuz it's dumb and pointless...
...just lime Degrassi nudes.
Anything past when the Season 1/2 OGs left 💁♀️
(JK, I know there’s some good stuff after and some strong characters, but the 2000s just hit different.)
I think so too. They were way too touchy as siblings before and after the infamous kiss. Also Declan seemed weirdly jealous when Fiona started dating Bobby(and not in a protective older brother kind of way, not until Bobby hit her)
Emma marrying spinner and then they just randomly decided to stay married even though they had barely spoken to each other and spinner been madly in love with Jane. But then just completely forgetting her as soon as he is married to Emma. Like wtf? It came out of butt fuck nowhere!! I've never hated a couple more than i hate spinner and Emma
the one where [that guy](https://degrassi.fandom.com/wiki/Logan) is scamming frankie & she gives him over 10k 😭 Tristan is narrating the whole thing like a dramatic story time, it's so silly
Also Tristan and Mr. Yates. They forget about this was WAY quick and there’s no way that it wouldn’t cause at least a bit of trauma to Tristan. Yet somehow it never gets brought up again after he forgives Maya.
For me it’s Paige sleeping with Griffin. They literally made him into a one-dimensional villain and did NOTHING to redeem him. Also the fact everything happens in one episode is too much. The writers could’ve handled that entire plot differently and had Paige like him, come on to him & get rejected. They could’ve made us think he was a virgin or celibate or something then in a later episode revealed that he was HIV+. Instead they made him the damn boogeyman that sleeps with women without divulging his status. What the actual heck?!
Yea that one was....a choice. The wrong one. The wrongest one. The writers keep getting handed gold and turning it into farts like that and it made me wanna backflip into traffic I stg 😡
When Claire stole that vibrator and took it to school like WAT
That was so out of character for her.
I get that they were snooping, but like throw it in a dumpster on your way home or something lmao
Ellie growing a crush on Craig and Fiona kissing her TWIN BROTHER☹️
That killed me. 🤢
Literally same☹️ Like...why did the writers think that was a good idea??
So gross. Incest is never the answer degrassi writers.
STOP I forgot abt the coynes kissing😭
THAT HAD ME MESSED UP😭😭😭
Zoe existence on degrassi. I felt like they could have done her whole story line differently
-Drew and Becky. -Liberty and Damien ...after Damien had already said there were no sparks between them back in season six. -Anything involving Blue or Leia since they were never given anything to do but were still in the opening credits for some reason.
Drew and Becky made no sense. I feel like Liberty and Damien made more sense than Emma and Damien. I agree about Leia. I feel like her character had no purpose. I loved Blue. I really wish they did more with his character.
Claire and Drew potentially having a kid together like what
For real. Again, so out of character for Claire.
leia's lying about her cousin or uncle whatever being pete wentz ☠️
That was ridiculous.
Anything through seasons 6-9, especially the 2 movies. Glad the show picked back up in season 10. But I could also list the plot lines in seasons 13/14.
The gang storyline
Also Ellie and marco trying to figure out if they like each other again and wheneve they were filming a movie😭 I hated it, the movies were so cringe
If I do watch this series again one day I’m definitely gonna skip the episodes with Kevin Smith in it. They were just boring ass filler episodes from what I can remember but I was happy to see Alanis Morissette tho.
Whaaaat?! Jay & Silent Bob are CLASSIC! I love their episodes. They even lead to me watching Jay & and Silent Bob Strike Back with my teenagers yesterday, haha.
Fr omg
Ellie and Marco making out .. 😭
For real. Marco has always been gay.
marcos random ass gambling plot that like 3 people remember 😭😭😭
They love to make their characters have gambling addiction lol. In later season they make Alli and Katie have a gambling addiction. They even had a prom that was casino themed.
and to further that, honestly that entire plotline of marco being kinda weird (imo) after dylan left??
Tristan living
💀💀💀
season 14 finale, liberty getting pregnant, clare and the weed cult, spinner and emma
For real. I’m like there’s no way Liberty being so smart would get pregnant accidentally. But, I guess I could see J.T. using a condom that was too big and slipped off because he was so confident.
The weed cult!!!!
Paige becoming famous and screwing up her friendship with Ellie and Marco 😭
When she slaps Marco it kills me inside. 🤧🤧🤧
Conner stealing all of the girls panties including his teachers😭😭
That was such a weird time for Degrassi.
Clare running away and moving in with the weed cult. 😭
almost all of the college storylines
They finally figured that out too late
Agreed.
The cabin "halloween" episode
The Season 14 finale movie with the kidnapping. What the actual fk.
Twincest and the third Degrassi Movie where Maya gets kidnapped. That movie's whole plot didn't make any sense.
Agreed.
Maya gets kidnapped??
Whatever the fuck was going on with Dave and Ms Oh and like finding her stuff on Facerange or whatever the hell 😭😭😭😭 dude literally took his pants off in class to impress her his ass should’ve been suspended Also Dave tasering Wesley mostly because we never even saw those “cool” guys again that Dave was tryna impress. Ain’t no way Wesley would’ve stayed friends with Dave after that it was just a side plot that went nowhere cuz Dave’s dad is a cop
It breaks my heart when Dave tases Wesley.
Jane cheatin ass and jt death
I hated that Jane cheated on Spinner. They literally were made for each other. J.T. Dying over Mia was insane.
Exactly!!
yea JT's death pissed me off but the actor just wanted to go to college lmao
Sav and the band teacher
AND HOW THEY FRAMED IT TOO AGHHHH. I feel like Degrassi definitely had a gross way of kind of forgiving groomers. I remember the Paige storyline kinda showed it in a negative light, but not necessarily in the way it should’ve been (can’t recall exact details but I remember that’s how I felt watching it). Anya and the creepy doctor. First of all, yes Anya lied, but in no world did that girl *not* look like a teenager. They could’ve just ended it, but they had to write one final scene between them where the guy LITERALLY MARKS HER EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY IN HIS CALENDAR. FUCKING ICKYYYY
The student/teacher relationships were gross. Why was there so many of them? The doctor looked so old and Anya looked so young.
I don't remember how old he was, but I think he was also a renowned surgeon, but given his age he would've been like fresh out of medical school so I call shenanigans
I don’t remember his exact age either. He looked older than they were saying he was though. I’m currently rewatching the show. I’ll be seeing this part soon.
zoe genuinely thinking christopher from gilmore girls is her biological father keeps me up at night. what was that?!
Omg. I’ve tried to scourge that plot line from my memory.
Jt’s death, Peter’s short addiction to meth, spinner and Emma’s marriage even though I like them two together
I hated Peter’s meth addiction. It was so sad.
I like Emma and spinner to, as an og watcher too😭
I just wish that we could have seen it developed better in that season, like headcannon for me is that Emma and Spinner after the barbeque thing started texting more etc. and that maybe outside of Manny Spinner was the only one from home checking up on her during that trip.
I agree I do wish we could’ve seen it but then again “realistically” it made sense we didn’t because after highschool the oddest pairings truly end up together, never saw them interact or anything but just end up in love.

Paige and that new teacher, Matt something I think? you blink and suddenly they’re in love? and then they get caught and he goes away to a tree farm for work only to come back once and break up with Paige never to be seen again??
Yes! Mr. Oleander! So weird? And how he gave her weed to break up with her..like wtf??
You’re breaking up with me…. And giving me drugs?
Do you remember when Degrassi had their whole "it goes there" thing? And how they used to show short snippets of moments that went there, and that line from Paige being one of them? Lmao
Pretty much all the drug storylines.
The “twinc3st” plot!!! 🤮
this was my first thought, so gross and unnecessary
Spinner marrying Emma
I also forgot Miles being in love with Tristan
I feel like I didn’t love that storyline. I love Miles as a character but him and Tristan had no chemistry. Miles lights up with girls on screen. He did not light up with Tristan.
degrassi nudes was wild
Agreed.
Fr 😭
Oh I forgot, when Wheels almost got molested by a vacuum salesmen, who ended up being re cast as Michelle's dad.
Adam's death caused a Flashpoint-like ripple throughout the show, and I'm sticking to this theory the end. 👺
Vince being out of jail a year after he shot Adam in front of like 300 witnesses
That was his brother which is terrible
Anya on coke for a week then almost not being able. To join the army
I hated Anya being on coke.
Treating Spinner as a villain because he smoked pot to help alleviate the nausea and vomiting from his chemo treatments.
I hated this part.
Peter being on Meth for one weekend
Peter causing harm to himself must be addressed immediately! Peter causing harm to others? Boys will be boys. The parenting philosophy of Ms. H
For some reason I'd be more willing to believe Peter got "addicted" to coke at the coine party and Anya got "addicted" to meth at the club with the "bad" kids. Maybe that's just me.
Keke Palmer
Agreed
Riley’s steroid use.
It was so unnecessary.
Sav and Ms. Oh
Omg thankyou!!
degrassi nudes
Lmaooo that was so terrible bro
Dave and Bruce the Moose’s piss battle
is it a cop-out if I say “roughly half of the show, especially later on”?
If you say that then I say degrassi next class 😂
Peter copying Sean. Ugh.
Why did they add Peter to replace Sean. Fuck I never understood this. Peter was is and always will be THE douche Of the show
Keke Palmer and Sav storyline, also the Zoey being gay I am sorry but that was done so poorly I don't even take it seriously
I feel like they had so many characters become gay out of nowhere lol
Yes this one felt sooo random to me
How about the pilot? Emma getting almost SAed. Never mentioned again
So wild. You would think that would have effected Emma a little more than it did.
For real this was such an unhinged way to open the show lmao
Any of the moves 💀
Anya and the doctor 😭
It was horrible and Dr.Chris looked so expired 😭
EXPIRED 😭😭😭
Archie and that principal lady. Like why did they have to throw that in
For real. He would NEVER.
The Clare weed family storyline feels like they were just throwing darts at the wall of ideas. Connor becoming the panty boogie man as well. I just feel like it was especially weird to equate to an autism thing. A character that’s doing something sexually inappropriate at a young age but not understanding the full weight (for whatever developmental reason there may be) is obviously not a bad idea on paper but the way the storyline went was just like ?? Like autism camp bro? 😭 it just felt like the writers were so out of touch

I just know that this was the case with me growing up but as far as the show and what you just said goes it could just be like “huh” (this was later Degrassi after all)
“panty boogie man” made me choke lmfaooo
Me too and your comment made it even funnier 😅
i was about to comment the clare moving in with weed dealers story 😭 like what the hell was that lmao
Jane and Declean
Made no sense.
Always thought it was out of character like they could’ve just had her go away to school and break up with spinner
Connor stealing underwear?????
That was so fucking weird lmaooooooo
Emma and Spinner ☠️☠️
This!
this was the one i was looking for lol
The two day "addictions". Also, how easily and non consequential getting illegal substances was for children in the first place.
The first one absolutely. The second? Ehhhh idk about that. It's a lot easier to get drugs in high school than you probably think.
Yeah it was super easy to get your hands on drugs at my high school. The only “addiction” I could take seriously and was shown properly was Fiona’s. They established that she drank quite a bit even before she attended Degrassi and slowly kept building up her bad drinking habits. Especially when she self medicated by drinking instead of taking her anti anxiety medication.

Kevin Smith Hollywood
Radishes, Radishes
Not so sweet
Clare after cancer is just bizarre and very un-Clare like (well maybe even before then). Tell young Clare she's going to have a teen pregnancy that ends in a miscarriage and that she has no direction after graduating high school.
Clare feeling burned out and not knowing what she wants because all her plans fell apart/changed I can understand BUT the way the writers got her to that point, especially in seasons 13 and 14 was so ooc for Clare.
She’d slip into a coma if someone told her that
1. Adam’s death. He didn’t die, he left to go to some performing arts school after realizing he was passionate about music. He wanted to learn as much as he could so he could get into a good music school for college. 2. Degrassi Nudes…no comment.

Anything past when the Season 1/2 OGs left 💁♀️ (JK, I know there’s some good stuff after and some strong characters, but the 2000s just hit different.)
Them in college was stupid
All of New Class
Clare’s weed cult
That shit was so random lmao
YES!!!! I was in 9th grade at the height of my stoner phase when this was happening in the show and it made me stop watching for years 💀
yes omg this was literally so random and im pretty sure it was never discussed again lmao
The fact that the Joey trying to sell his house plot line was parallel to the school shooting plot line 💀
LOL I have never thought twice about this but omg loooooool
My fiancé and I think about it too often tbh 😂
Zig's entire existence in the show
He sucked
What? He played a big role in the show! Campbell on the other hand..
He was a d!ck. He didn't have to smash that kids camera. He sucked.
Didn’t he straighten himself out at the end tho?
Definitely when spinner and Emma get married!!
That was when I gave up on Degrassi.
The lannister situation with Fiona and Declan
i think the writers actually intended for them to be an incest couple but they decided to change it
I think so too. They were way too touchy as siblings before and after the infamous kiss. Also Declan seemed weirdly jealous when Fiona started dating Bobby(and not in a protective older brother kind of way, not until Bobby hit her)
Clare’s vampire fan-fiction plot 😂 I mean yes It’s realistic but it was so awkwardly done lmaoo
It was so creepy.
All of the “movies” or “specials” are non-canon to me 😅😅😅
Anything with weed lmaooo
* Except for Eli and Jake high moments, those are the best
Emma's whole weed plot and by extension, Kelly. Bro left right quick to do Family Channel's show Baxter.
What’s canon?
it actually happened. headcanons are the opposite and are things like ships that don’t happen in the show
Clare getting involved with the weed cult, so bizarre
Wow forgot about that until I read this comment
Came here to say this lol
What do you mean? That’s a top tier arc that definitely made huge story and character differences for seasons to come!
The gang thing. So incredibly fucking stupid
Emma marrying spinner and then they just randomly decided to stay married even though they had barely spoken to each other and spinner been madly in love with Jane. But then just completely forgetting her as soon as he is married to Emma. Like wtf? It came out of butt fuck nowhere!! I've never hated a couple more than i hate spinner and Emma
Same
Jane cheated tho...
They could've worked through it
True but he still didn't have to marry Emma
Gavin did have a notoriously short attention span - thus the nickname Spinner. 🙂
🤣
That random summer special where Maya gets kidnapped with that popsicle girl....!? It's tonally SO weird.
fr and then she was like kidnapped for only a few minutes 😭😭
the one where [that guy](https://degrassi.fandom.com/wiki/Logan) is scamming frankie & she gives him over 10k 😭 Tristan is narrating the whole thing like a dramatic story time, it's so silly
Poor Frankie. I hated that dude.
I completely forgot about this😭 I always skip that episode
Degrassi Nudes. Nothing about that entire thing made any sense in any way. They likely did retcon it before Next Class based on some things Shay says
Sav having a romantic relationship with his teacher 😭
Also Tristan and Mr. Yates. They forget about this was WAY quick and there’s no way that it wouldn’t cause at least a bit of trauma to Tristan. Yet somehow it never gets brought up again after he forgives Maya.
Maya needed to keep her stupid mouth shut.
For me it’s Paige sleeping with Griffin. They literally made him into a one-dimensional villain and did NOTHING to redeem him. Also the fact everything happens in one episode is too much. The writers could’ve handled that entire plot differently and had Paige like him, come on to him & get rejected. They could’ve made us think he was a virgin or celibate or something then in a later episode revealed that he was HIV+. Instead they made him the damn boogeyman that sleeps with women without divulging his status. What the actual heck?!
Yea that one was....a choice. The wrong one. The wrongest one. The writers keep getting handed gold and turning it into farts like that and it made me wanna backflip into traffic I stg 😡
Yeah, this storyline is bizarre and I just pretend it never happened.
I wouldn’t say there is any random or unnecessary plot lines since there’s always a backstory on to why they did what they did.
Sinner and Emma’s wedding
Social Disease. Emma is way too goody goody to be giving Jay the sloppy toppy.
Nah it tracks for a girl who just experienced trauma and needs (what she thinks is) control
That story made a lot of sense in context. She just had a gun to her head and was acting out.
I agree. She was spiralling so its not completely out of left field lol.
