As most of you already know, Teennick and Much Music have both confirmed Degrassi for season eleven. Yay! And as I posted over the weekend, Teennick even released a-not-so overhypred promo.
Season Eleven's seven week summer event (much like last year's The Boiling Point) will run from Monday to Thursday airing new episodes, with re runs on Fridays. The summer event will begin on July 18 at 9:00PM.
Three new characters will be introduced. Originally, there were four, but their have no announcements about the actor portraying Mo, so it can be assumed that the character was dropped. Which is a definate shame, because I know alot of people, myself included, were looking foward to having a second overweight character on the show. But the three new editions include Jake Martin, played by Justin Kelly; Kate Matlin, played by Chloe Rose; and Imogen Moreno, played by Cristine Propeiri.
Jake will be involved with Clare's and they might possibly be new love interests, as it would definatley add great tension to Clare's no-longer relationship with Eli, and test his mental stability even more.
Not much is known about Katie's character, other than she is an athlete, who is best friends with cheerleader Marisol.
Imogen seems interesting to me, as she goes to great lengths to prove that she isn't boring. Including bandaging her unwounded wrists, and pretending to be homeless. I don't think Degrassi's ever had a character like this before, and I'm interested to see what will be tossed out.
Episode titles coming soon!
Your source for all things Degrassi. Anywhere you want it, anytime you want it. Every hookup, Every breakup, Every backstab.

Drop The World Parts 1&2 Review
Above is the new Degrassi promo for season eleve. Personally, I liked the promo, but I think they should have shown more instead of just one random clip of Bianca screaming. Now, on with the episode.
PLOT: ELI/CLARE
Most of my twitter/tumblr followers know that I was fangirling like a boss during all of parts one and two. My overall overview? I know people are choosing Team Eli or Team Clare. I don't have one - I'm Team EClare. Go ahead, call me biased, but I agree with both. Eli really wasn't planning the trip because of Julia, he was doing it because he just wanted to spend time with Clare. But in part two, Clare was right to break up with Eli, because he does need space to work on his lack of mental stability. However, I was kind of dissapointed when Clare and Alli just went back to the dance like nothing was wrong, and Clare was all 'I'm just trying to have fun.' Eli. Oh what can I say about Eli? I was totally crying when Eli basically told Clare he was going to crash Morty. But I was yelling at my TV the whole time: She's not gonna love you anymore if you get rid of the hearse!And may I say? Eli finally actually told Clare that he loves her, which made the whole sad, heart wrenching plot worth it. I mean, I don't think I've cried this much since Season 7's We Built This City. Overall, I can't wait to see what the writer's do next season with Eli's obsession with Clare. And Munro and Aislinn's acting was just amazing, as usual. Anyways, THE GUN. DUN DUN DUN. Eli shooting Julia's picture and then TALKING ABOUT HER LIKE SHE WAS ACTUALLY ALIVE TO BULLFROG just made me shake my head. Oh, Eli, sweetheart, Julia's dead. Your crazy. And speaking of crazy, the hopsital scene? When he's just smiling at Clare being all "I saved our story" made my heart cry tears of sadness. And Clare - Eli is kind of manipulating you. But he doesn't mean it. He really doesn't. Overall, I loved this plot. It's definatley up there as one of my all-time favorites.
PLOT: HOLLY J/FIONA/ANYA
First off, may I just say I adored Anya even more in this episode? She was hilarious with her little heart signs behind Holly J's head. Anya was the best part of this storyline. Otherwise, Holly J just really made me dislike even more than I have during In Too Deep. She was such a jerk to poor Fiona, who wasn't creeping on her or doing anything wrong. And when she set her up with the LGBT chick? I was like - Holly J - graduate and get your butt outta here! I just love Fiona, and my heart went out to her when Holly J was such a jerk and the dance and her mean sleepover excuses, which were just unexcusable.
PLOT: KC/JENNA
For once, I actually enjoyed a Kenna plot. Yes, me the ultimate Kenna hater actually enjoyed a plot. "YOU TOLD ME TO PLAY BASKETBALL!" was legit the best part though. And KC's bacheloor party was hilarious, especially when he handcuffed himself to Bianca. Did anyone else think it was really random when Chantay and Jenna were at the dance and all of a sudden Jenna's like "My feet are wet?" Okay, that was random . . . And also, Jenna has some really awkward names on her hands "Momzilla" "Handyman KC" "Big Daddy." Then Alli calls her "Mama" which is even more immensly strange to me. I was just laughing that whole entire scene, BTW and not even taking it seriously. I'm giggling like a creeper right now actually! But yes, the ending was cute when KC looked at the baby and I was all 'THAT'S THE OLD POST JENNA AWESOME KC!" And I loved Dave and Drew in this episode, they also added to the hilarity.

Chasing Pavements Part 2 Episode Review
Okay, may I just flippin' fangirl for a second? ADJSHFDSGFKLADJKLSHFSFKSAH So, Eli's got a gun, Clare wants a 'break' (for her mushy time with Fitzy boy, JK.) I've been hearing people saying that Eli's shooting either Julia's grave or Julia's picture, hence why he yells 'This is all your fault!' Because he started getting unstable after she was killed. I'll probably be on here fangirlling for the res of the week, so for now, let me give my review of Chasing Pavements part 2!
PLOT: FIONA/HOLLY J
Im just gonna be honest with you here: THERE IS NO WAY THAT FIONA WASN'T A CREEPING LESBIAN. Riley-gay, Declan-her brother, Bobby-abusive and Adam-transgender. But I will say that while I had semi ships with the rest of these, I do not ship Lesbiona J. I mean the whole Fiona crushing on HJ thing is awesome, but I can't really see them as a couple. Don't get me wrong, this was a solid episode- miles from part one, I really just don't see a future for Fiona/Holly J. All in all though, one again Annie Clark's acting was phenomenal. Adam, as always, made me smile and my heart break. Come on, did anyone actually think that FAdam was going to work out? I know they're awesome, but as I said, Fiona's using Adam for his body - and no, not his six pack. Overall, I enjoyed this plot the most out of all three. It might even go head-to-head with The Lexicon of Love someday.
PLOT: ALLI
It feels like I am constantly blogging about my Alli hate in In Too Deep. And look, for the eighth week in a row, here she is getting a storyline. Honestly, I like her alot, I'm just getting so flippin' sick of her. First, we get some random smoking chick (literally.) Then we get some Sav-Alli drama, then Johnny revived us with his crazy awesomeness, and now we get some plot about Alli wanting Simpson to stay at Degrassi. Yep, Snake was my favorite part of this episode, because I desperatley miss the season five days of the Zit Remedy ;) And also, I must say the action took alot more of an up in this plot. Degrassi having a dance, of course everyone already knew that they were getting their spring formal. That was good too, and I'm happy that Alli's fixing up her drama. Plus, as another up, the Bianca-Alli fist pump. DID THAT ACTUALLY JUST HAPPEN?
PLOT: ANYA/OWEN
Most of you, if you read my Chasing Pavements part 1 blog, know how I feel about this storyline. I must say though, I enjoyed it alot more in part two. Though I was kind of flippin' annoyed with Owen still being a giant jerkface. I mean, it almost like Jay all over again. Owen has messed with Ziley and Adam. Now he's coming onto Anya in a SERIOUSLY CREEPY way. But this plot just made me love Anya even more than I already do. I loved what she said in the Dot, because it really just felt relatable. It's true though, if you don't like a guy, they do think you're a female dog. And I really just wanted to scream 'You go Anya MacPhearson!' at my screen. Becuase, it's a offical. Owen's a total waste of a character.

Chasing Pavements Part 1 Review
Okay, so I'm doing a new thing here at Degrassi Fanbase. Instead of reviewing both parts, I'll be reviewing them seperatley. So you get thoughts on both parts every week, instead of every two weeks. But before I begin, here are the Chasing Pavements Part 2 Promos:
PLOT: FIONA
This was definatley the best storyline of the episode. Unlike waiting almost two seasons for Dean to go to trial back in season four, this trial went by faster then you could say 'Lesbiona J.' And speaking of which, I found that slight kiss to be a great setup for part 2, which is said to be the episode where Holly J and Fiona might *just might*get together. Opinions? Me? I say that I wish they would drop that plot and stick with the Fiona/Bobby trial. I was really glad to see Bobby AND Tinsley back. (Stephen Stohn's tweet finally makes sense!) But my favorite part of the episode, was when Tinsley admitted being slapped by Bobby. It lets the audience know that she's really not as bad as we thought she was. Which makes the storyline so much tighter and more realistic.
PLOT: ANYA/OWEN
Welcome back to Degrassi, Owen Milligan! And may I ask, where you've been since Vegas Night? Perhaps in the boiler room? Tee-hee. This was an okay plot. I didn't like it, I didn't hate it. But I would say the best part was seeing Owen as someone other than a homophobic Ziley - Adam - Drew hater, was awesome. The storyline, however was not. Who really cares if Anya thinks Owen is creepy? Samantha Munro deserves a better plot then that, and she certainly deserves a better character then Owen to have to deal with.
PLOT: ALLI
Am I suprised that flippin' ALLI got a plot in this episode? No! And we already know she's getting yet another in Drop the World. I am on serious Alli overload here. Seriously? No one cares about her anymore! This storyline should have just ended with Hide and Seek! GTHO!
