The actress who played Kathleen was a victim of date rape in college. She spoke about her experience on an episode of "Degrassi Talks" in which the actors from the series discuss issues facing teens and young adults (that series is also on KZitem). "The All-Nighter" is a favorite episode of mine, but it's so sad about Kathleen and Melanie's friendship. Wheels needed a good dose of reality.

10:49 i think abt this melanie line like on a daily basis. the way she saying all of it so cheery kills me everytime. especially "I dont see what the big deal is! you had anorexia, your mom is an alcoholic *giggles*, and your bf beat you up! *giggles* most ppl would need counseling for even one of those things!" literally the scene i remembered most of the whole series. was waiting for u to get to it

wheels gets progressively harder to watch because you know deep down that he’s such a sweet kid, but you also know that there’s not much anyone can do to correct the path he’s headed down at this point in the show. I do wish that his grandparents weren’t so quick to give up on him, though. I feel like the most we see of their relationship is his grandma rescuing him or lecturing him, so it doesn’t seem like they really tried to build much of a connection there. it makes me think of joey and craig. craig pulled the whole “you’re not my dad!!1!!” shtick quite a few times but Joey never once considered sending him away, and I wish that wheel’s situation could’ve gone similarly

Caitlin moves in with her brother because she didn't want to live with her parents anymore after finding out about the cheating; I guess she lost a sense of trust.

My family played poker a lot growing up so I learned some things. As long as you know what beats what, the game like Blackjack is all about luck and probability. These are what cards beat what through, from highest to lowest: 1. Five-of-a kind (Four of a kind + joker) 2. Royal Flush (Ace,King,Queen,Jack,10 + same shape) 3. Straight Flush (Flush + same shape) 4. Four of a Kind (4 of the same number) 5. Full House (3 same number + pair) 6. Flush (all cards of same shape) 7. Straight (5 cards is in a sequence, ex: 5,4,3,2,1 or J,10,9,8,7, etc.) 8. Three of kind (3 of the same number) 9. Two-pair (self-explanatory) 10. A pair (2 of the same number) 11. High card (nothing matches but you have 1 card that is either an Ace, King, Queen or Jack. So if you had a Jack but no other cards that matter, it's Jack-high which is less powerful than an Ace-high would be).

I don’t know why they did this to wheels character. His story arc is the craziest character assassination I’ve ever seen on a show. REMINDER- when you get to Degrassi schools out, there is a scene from Degrassi next generation that was cut out of the American version of the show, because they thought American viewers wouldn’t understand it, or know who those people were , but it has to do w/ something that happened in Degrassi Schools out. You can probably find it if you search Wheels and Lucy, but don’t search for it until after you watch Degrassi schools out.

Squealing on Kathleen going to counseling was especially a big deal, as at the time, mental health issues were stigmatized a lot more than now and only "the crazies" went to therapy. Wheels' trauma is a justification, but not an excuse for his actions. He doesn't start taking accountability for his actions until the time period between the Degrassi High Movie and TNG.

I haven’t watched the last episode of Degrassi High yet or School’s Out because once I watch those, I’m going to be completely done with Degrassi (since HBO said RIP to the reboot) and I won’t have that feeling of watching it for the first time anymore 😭. I do know some bits and pieces of School’s Out and I don’t think either of us are ready for it.

Yay Degrassi Sunday! I also loved the two groups hanging out in the first episode and was so happy that Catlin could be the older wiser girl for the girls like Kathleen to go to in that moment. (Someone has to be the responsible one) second hand smokes through🤮. I didn’t think M would do her friend like that but she was high so I kinda feel bad that Kathleen cut her off but I understand. They were bold through for doing it when a parent was in the house cause I also through they were alone. I wonder if K’s mom is still an alcoholic. Glad she got l conseulling through (I wish we got to see it) The second episode just thinking about it now I remember it and watching the first scene-Wheels why are you stealing from Joey’s mom who graciously let you stay at her house🤦🏾♀️and then lying when Joey asking you about it and (like you said) using his parents death as an excuse. Obviously the trauma was beating his butt but he had to stop making bad decisions and find something to live for because what made me so mad with Wheel’s arc is that he thought everyone was doing stuff to him, when that wasn’t true. People have been trying to help him but he keeps messing up. I get why Snake was tired of Wheels near the end because his character keeps getting worse. Despite all of that I still felt bad for him (and I know I shouldn’t) and that he got kicked out and could’nt stay with Snakes parents and that his grandma suggested a shelter (I guess cause you were saying that she said that she wanted him to come home to Joey’s mom so I’m suprised she suggested it) even through I understand why! 🤷🏾♀️😭😭 he really was bold for wearing that watch infront of his friend. Everyone (snake ex) said everything I was thinking to Wheels and be saddle still didn’t get it. I’m glad you saw that through. Joey really was a good friend to Wheels because he’s gonna stick by him.
