    Maybe because I'm a little older, but Ashley Kerwin should be up there. She was a holier than thou music snob, outed Manny's pregnancy, threw Jimmy under the bus for her music career, left emotional vulnerable Craig for some guy she met over the summer. Do I really have to go on.

    Finally someone mentioned Imogen! Almost everyone I know loves her but apart from Fimogen she was bad. This girl stole Eli's medication and emotionally manipulated him, planted drugs in Clare's locker, impersonated Fiona to sabotage her job opportunity and kept pressuring Jack to come out the closet. Also her being held back was pointless and wasn't really interesting in that period.

    I haven’t seen anyone call him out yet so I will: Dave.
    I found him pretty unlikable due to the fact that he was SO desperate to be “popular” that he wouldn’t hesitate to throw his friends under the bus or cast them to the side if he felt that’s what he needed to do to be liked by the “right people.” I can appreciate that his character is realistic, in that there are people that think like him in high school. I still think he’s an annoying, disloyal loser and a bad friend.

    one of the things I absolutely love about degrassi that I feel helped with the world building was that no one was perfect. everyone was struggling with something everyone made mistakes, it made the characters feel like real people. I feel like it also allowed us to reflect on ourselves and the people around us- if we can't tolerate seeing those actions in a comfort show, then we def should not be tolerating it irl

    So, as a lesbian, I can tell you why Imogen said what she said when Dallas told them to make out. Dallas was objectifying women who love women by asking to make out for his gaze; not for their own expression of love/affection. WLW are often fetishized by straight men who think they can either change our minds or think lesbianism is only for their enjoyment. Imogen saying "Ew" was a reaction the blatant objectification of her and Fiona's sexualities. This is further echoed by Fiona also saying "Ew" for the same reason.

Liberty makes out with Damian (even though he’s with Emma), as she’s bawling and apologizing to Emma, she says “i understand if you’re furious”, to which Emma replies “I am… at Damian. But i’m not ready to throw away 6 years of friendship”. Girl, thank you. 🥲

Spinner cheated on Darcy with Paige and Darcy inadvertently cheated on him with Peter and the entire internet. Manny was Craig’s side piece while he was with Ashley and Ashley cheated on Jimmy with Sean, then cheated on Craig with somebody in England, so pretty much almost everyone had their fair share of cheating and being a side piece🤣🤣

    Esme-SEVERELY obsessed with getting attention and did ANYTHING to receive it, couldn't get over the fact that her boyfriend was still close to an ex (Maya), which made sense because they were friends LONG before they dated so that friendship wasn't going anywhere
    Imogen-Hated her in season 13-14 due to how thirsty she was for a story for Degrassi TV, and got carried away from time to time
    Johnny Dimarco-Basically what you said, a pos bully who barely showed any remorse for what his friend did, and had the audacity to bully Toby like NOTHING happened
    Darcy-It's good that she changed, but falsely accusing Simpson of sexual assault is something I could NEVER forgive her for

    Funny enough, the characters I disliked the most are the ones who have fantastical storylines. On the other side of the coin, my favorites were the ones who didn't have nearly as much shine and had the more relatable story elements that made me reminisce about my own days in high school.
    Characters like Wesley, Zane, Imogen, and Anya are the ones I gravitate towards. Zane may sound like a weird choice, but I can relate to being openly gay in high school and dealing with the stress having a significant other in the closet, as well as projecting my values onto them to the point of taking their choices personally. I can relate to Anya's insecurities about fitting in and not knowing what to do with my life after high school, to the point of tolerating toxicity in others. Even Imogen resonates with me because I can relate to using quirkiness and humor to cover up issues at home; her people-pleasing mentality and codependence towards people with mental health and substance use issues is something I deal with even to this day.

    MY THOUGHTS:
    Emma. I didn't like her AT ALL. She was a horrible friend to Manny and was constantly starting shit. Plus she was rude for no reason.
    Imogen. I loved Imogen and Fiona together. Fiomgen is one of my favorite ships and overall I do quite like Imogen but she's far from a favorite. I did not like her when she first joined the show and everything with Eli or her getting with Adam.
    Johnny. UGH. I hated him so bad. ALSO HIS ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP WITH ALLI??? horrible. disgusting. i liked that he helped alli when she ran away but it doesn't make up for anything.
    Clare. I actually like Clare a lot. She was so dramatic but I lived for it. Definitely agree she wasn't the greatest friend though.
    Lola. I didn't like Lola either. She annoyed me so bad and all the reasons you gave were so real. Miles and Lola as a ship will never be loved by me.
    Jane. I didn't like her cheating on Spinner but overall I did like her outside of that.
    Jack. I didn't like her. She was boring to me.

That I think is worth having to deal with her other crap to have had that plot line. Also, they at least gave her karma for cheating on Spinner: losing him, regretting it, and having to see him soon after move on and have a wedding to another girl (even though Spemma is inferior to Semma, at least it delivered that karma).

      Shoot if the actual dive in his story of J.T.'s murder could have been a very interesting story arc. But they just didn't want to go thier. Yeah, Johnny wasn't a good kid but still seeing your friend stab a Radmon dude for no reason got to mess you up. And he mentioned two that it did but they never really showed it. Also at the fact if you think about he probably was the rated-out Drake. So this fact their only 3 people who know who stabbed J.T. One is J.T. who couldn't tell anyone second is Darke sure he could turn himself but I found that doubtful probably once he sobered up because clearly he and Johnny were pretty wasted (still don't give a right for anyone to kill another person) but once he sober up he probably thinks his best move is running way because his life is over now. The third is Johnny. Once he sobers up he probably realizes his best move is to go police and rat out Drake. The library saw Johny and Drake fleeing the scene but she witnessed murder so that means it got to be either Johnny or Drake my fan theory is it was Johnny because he didn't do any jail time. To me, in season 7 if they did an episode where Johnny has testified against Drake and his struggle with that night would make his story arc so much better.

    • @codesm96

      The worst thing they did is when they had Jay and Spinner ride in a car with Jimmy in Season 7 to meet Manny as if Jay wasn't the No.1 reason why Jimmy got shot. Spinner helped with Jay's lie that Jimmy planned the feathers while Rick was in the bathroom only because he was mad at Jimmy at the time but Spinner regretted that for the rest of his life after the shooting, when Spinner said to Jay that he felt guilty, Jay always told Spinner that he didn't care about what happened to Jimmy and that is something that I could never forgive. Jimmy was mad at Spinner for a long time, Spinner kept trying to apologize but Jay got expelled and never once apologized to Jimmy. Not once. Jimmy should have had a storyline with Jay about what happened the moment he got close to the others again but instead they have them ride in the same car in Season 7 as if they were friends the whole time. The only other person Jimmy should be angry at is Jay, especially since if Jimmy died Jay would not have had any remorse.

    I loved Lola,Clare,Paige,and Jane.
    Couldn't stand Miles (what he did to Tristan),Tiny, and Zigs girlfriend on next class other than Maya.

    I hate Johnny the most he did nothing when jt died and then they tried to make him likeable but I couldn’t get past how his buddy killed jt

    God I’m so glad someone else hates Clare and Lola istg everyone defends them with their life but every time there’s an episode centered around them I want to end mine !
