Top 5 Best Friends

5. Jimmy and Spinner
From the callouts, to the t shirt busneiss, to causing Jimmy's paralization, these two have been through at all, and have managed to come through in the end, like good friends do. And like all best freinds, they always have each other's backs. Which was mostly Jimmy for a while, because well, Spinner, kinda, told Rick some lie about Jimmy . . . yeah. It was a really awkward time for all of us, wasn't it? But their screentime always makes us laugh, because it's just the kind of hilarity you need while watching Degrassi.
4. Clare and Alli
Two of Degrassi's best girlfriends always make their scenes eventful and not forgotten. Starting in season eight, when a void was left by Emma and Manny for two leading ladies, Clare and Alli totally and completley filled it. They show compassion to each other's issues - mostly Alli's - and when you need a day of good old advice - again Alli - your probably better off with Clare. Vegas Night left a huge mark on the two - you know watching your boyfriend get stabbed and hearing about your boyfriend's cheatfest - Clare and Alli stuck through it together. Like they always do.
3. Eli and Adam
Two of the three misfits may be new to Degrassi, but they sure have earned their number three spot. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself gave us something we haven't seen since season six (hint hint, for number one) a good and wholesome bromance. They always have each other's backs, whether its Adam being our favorite third wheel, or Eli kicking some serious some serious butt for his best friend's honor. And I think we can all say, that Eli's reaction to Adam being transgender was definatley memorable. Maybe they''ll move up, after season 10's done.
2.Emma and Manny
I know, I know . . . why not number one? Emma and Manny - together nine seasons, and they've always been there for each other.  Manny flashing Peter, Emmas eating disorder, Manny getting pregnant, and Emma's wedding, theyve always managed to stick together and come up smelling like a rose. Because I guess, everyone loves the two together. They make you want to love Degrassi even more then you already do. I can't say anything more except . . . Our Lips Are Sealed. Go ahead, go watch!
AND THE NUMBER ONE BEST BFFs ARE . . . 
1. JT and Toby
Did you catch the hint? I would have given Emma and Manny number one, until I realized what a speical place in my heart JT and Toby hold. What's It Feel Like To be a Ghoust? Family Politics, and dare I say it, Rock This Town. My favorite best friends, never fail to make me smile, and though they may not always be 100%, like season four, when Toby befreinded Rick, and JT drop-kicked their friendship right out the window, but yet, they always manage to be - awesome. Toby was so supportive when JT got Liberty pregnant, and JT was a total supporter of Toby and Kendra. I can't even explain why I love them so much!

Top Five Worst Degrassi Couples

5. Manny and Spinner
I beleive that this couple could have honestly been a LOT better if the writers had developed them more. But I think the reason that they were so . . . awful was because of their personalities at that time. Manny was trying to be known as the school bad girl, and Spinner was the nice go who was controlled by his ex. Spanny has the potential of being great, because Spinner clicks with almost anyone, and so does Manny - but in this case, any of their screen time makes me turn off the television.
4. Liberty and Damien
Honesty is always the best policy - which is something that Damien should learn. Now I know that Liberty and Damien were never actually a couple, but that doesn't stop the hate. I mean, they could've eventually have been cute. But Liberty - much like Eli - was still not over her dead ex. Which makes 'Diberty' not even up for topic,
AND
Holly J and Sav
Yep, still number four. A tie, because I cannot stand the fail 'Hav' for another second. The only reason they date, is not because they have chemistry, it's because they don't want to be alone for one single year. In an attempt to replace fans with a couple that could match Holly J and Declan, Degrassi gets an F. These two have absolutley nothing going on, and can not possibly be going anywhere. They make me want to puke on my TV.
3. JT and Manny
May I just say . . . EW!!!!!! The couple began as JT's creepy crush on Manny because of her slut thing at the time. Everyone always saw them as brother and sister, which is what they are. I never saw anything in their relationship whatsoever, and I actually cheered when Manny dumped him. It's weird, two of my favorite characters being a couple - and it didn't work. Well, well, we always have our fantasies. Not that JT and Manny would EVER be a fantasy. It's be a hell.
2. Emma and Damien
 Okay, wasn't Emma still with Sean when she was seeing Damien? Or is that just my imagination? Either way, the two only dated because Damien's a creepy pevert, and because Emma wanted to be 'spontaneous.' Ah, season seven, the most depressing theme song credits ever, and one of the worst times for couples. Emma and Damien have fewer things that make them different and undateable, then making them alike. Which is the top reason that nothing worked out. Enough said.
AND THE NUMBER ONE WORST COUPLE EVER IS . . .
1. JT and Mia
Honestly, even the thought of 'Jia' makes me want to barf. They could've been cute if they had dated before season six, or even before season four. I could see Mia being cute for JT in like season two or something . . . but after Jiberty's breakup, it was obvious that this was not going to be a good couple for fans, who were deprived of the fallen supercouple. The reason Jia never worked out is simple: whether he denied it, or not, JT was never over Liberty.
