Who's Who: Degrassi

The Nerds:

TOBY hasn’t really had a storyline since he became bulimic in order to be a wrestler. And I’m pretty sure that was in junior high. Mostly he hangs out at the fringe of JT and Liberty’s storyline, offering such gems as “Not in my bubbie’s car!” To add insult to injury, the kid’s not even in the credits anymore and there's a visible leg in his head shot.

JT was kind of cool for a while. He was friends with Paige and her crew after he tried to fight her rapist (in his little mascot uniform—it was quite sweet), but then he purchased a one way ticket to Nerdsville by dating Liberty. He also hosted a public access kids show and at some point I think he was in a commercial for French Fries. It was all very lame, but now he and Liberty are barely speaking on account of the whole him ODing and her giving their baby away. So he’s dating another teenage mother (nice one!). She’s cute, but she can’t act and her interest in JT is clearly a warning sign of things to come.

DANNY is Liberty’s little brother. I was okay with him being in a storyline when he was the only one who knew that JT and Liberty were expecting a baby. He was conflicted about his sister and his best friend and the serious trouble they were in. Now he’s just a horny, obnoxious little annoyance. He and that kid who called a cripple show up on screen with their matching fros, and I really feel like breaking something.
