Let’s just say Canadian TV is a little more forgiving than TV in America. I’m not saying the other girls of Degrassi aren’t lovely, but in US Primetime—where we’re supposed to buy America Ferrera and Jenna Fischer as plain janes—these are the three who could survive as leading ladies.
ELLIE has come a long way from Goth cutter with pigtails. She’s gotten over being abandoned by moody Sean and rejected by lothario Craig and now she’s dating her boss at the college paper. And not only does he look like a hot Zach Braff, but it also looks like he hits the gym when he's not playing Clark Kent.
DARCY got a lot hotter when she became a main character. They gave her hair extensions and a personality beyond that girl who helped Manny break Paige’s leg. Lately she’s gone back and forth from uptight and judgmental to borderline retarded. She may have broken Spinner's heart, but at least she looked cute while doing it.
MANNY was a cute kid. As she got older, the writers took their cue from nature, changing her character from Emma’s immature best friend to star of her own storylines. Now Manny’s not only most likely to be involved in a cat fight, but the whole school knows all about her abortion and they’ve all seen that video of her boobs on the internet. It was Manny’s goal to be hot. Aside from that weird haircut in Season 5, she’s been successful in her endeavor.
