Who's Who: Degrassi

The Bad Boys fall into two distinct categories: sweetly damaged and malevolently bent on damaging others.

Damaged:
CRAIG’S dad was a really successful surgeon who beat the crap out of his son. No lie, the dude came after him with a golf club when he found out Craig had been in contact with his half sister and former stepfather. So yeah, Craig’s a big ol’ cheater. He got Manny pregnant when he was dating Ashley. Nobody’s perfect. He’s also bi-polar, a revelation that made previous seasons make a lot more sense. Either it was a plot point a long time in the making, or one day the writers realized they’d made him a little too crazy not to be on meds.

SEAN (half) deafened a kid in Wasaga Beach back in junior high. So yeah, he’s got some guilt about that. He’s also tormented by that time he accidentally killed school shooter Rick in his attempt to save Emma. Sean stole Snake’s new laptop when the latter was going through chemo. He hung out with Jay and earlier this year was involved in a hit and run while drag racing. The kid’s screwed up, but with alcoholic parents and a mostly absent brother, he basically raised himself and I give him props for continuing his high school education and having such kick ass eyebrows.

Damaging:
JAY seems pretty harmless (most drop outs who hang around their former schools often do), but one has to remember that 1. He turned JT into a drug-dealer, 2. He gave Emma and countless other girls Gonorrhea, 3. It was his bright idea for Sean to run from the scene of the hit and run and now Sean’s ass is in jail, and last but in no way least, although Spinner took the blame, it was Jay’s initial idea to pour the paint on Rick and then pin the blame on Jimmy. Those acts ignited Rick’s homicidal rage and led to the school shooting.

PETER is a sociopath. The kid has no soul. He’s devious and mean and really freaking creepy. I’m sure he probably tortures animals. I don’t know if this is how the writers intend for us to feel about Peter, but as Little Lady pointed out, he’s a life ruiner. Also, he looks stupid in a wife beater and I don’t buy for an instant that his scrawny arms can hold up girls in cheerleading practice.
