Degrassi Now or Never Predictions

Today, TeenNick will begin to air new episodes of Degrassi four nights a week, telenovela style. This will go on until September. Here are my thoughts on what’s going to happen:

Anya will be involved with drugs: Specifically, cocaine. Last season, she was interested in a doctor. This season, she’s going to go out with him, and he’ll probably be the one to introduce her to drugs. Unfortunately, Degrassi will probably have this issue in only two episodes, and forget about it later.

The Imogen/Eli/Clare/Jake Love Polygon will still be boring: Eli and Clare broke up in the season 10 finale, because he was manipulating her (As in, he purposely got into a car crash so she could visit him in a hospital). Jake and Imogen are new characters that are going to be plot devices rebounds for Eli and Clare. Yes, you read that right. Two new characters introduced this season are just going to exist for the sake of a love polygon (I’m not sure if it’s a Love Triangle, or Love Square or whatever at this point).

KC and Jenna will break up: Last season, KC and Jenna had a baby. From these season’s commercials, it appears that KC will cheat on her.

Bianca will be Alex 2.0: Alex was also a tough girl with a bad home life (i.e. money issues, abusive stepfather). All the trailers imply that Bianca’s bad past will catch up with her, too. It looks like an ex-boyfriend is unhappy that she’s moved on (and has a gun?).

And it feels like the finale will be about the Imogen/Eli/Clare/Jake love polygon, since Eli and Clare are a fan favorite and the Degrassi powers that be need good ratings. It doesn’t really help that the finale probably won’t cover the seniors graduating as much as a love polygon that can continue next season.
