  ” ‘We were just flipping through channels on TV and we came across Degrassi and we had all watched Degrassi since we were kids,’ explains frontman Adam Lazzara, 25, from a tour stop in Denver, Colo. ‘It was an episode where (Clerks director) Kevin Smith was on. I said, ‘Man, if Kevin Smith can be a guest, I wonder if we can be guests, too?’ “

Academic pressure, arson, internet gambling and even teen-aged stripping ensue as Degrassi: The Next Generation returns to CTV next week with the second act of the series’ sixth season; new episodes air Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET following ratings juggernaut American Idol beginning March 28 on CTV and on CTV HD East/West (visit CTV.ca to confirm local broadcast times).

In the Spring season premiere, entitled “Free Fallin’ Part 1” (March 28 on CTV), Paige has a spectacular panic attack during a Banting University midterm exam. The course professor offers her one more chance, which comes in the form of work to be completed over the holiday weekend. With a huge family dinner to cook and everyone dying to know how fantastic university life is, something has got to give for Paige…

In other upcoming episodes:

“Free Fallin’ Part 2” (April 4 on CTV) – With her degree in jeopardy and the little issue of a dramatic dorm fire, Paige develops a Banting “allergy”.

Despite rising panic attacks and friends who just might understand, Paige is committed to keeping her secret, no matter what.

“If You Leave (April 11 on CTV) – Emma (Miriam McDonald) feels as if J.T.’s death is being glossed over and makes sure everyone knows how she feels. Marco suspects that Dylan (John Bregar) is cheating on him and calls on Jimmy (Aubrey Graham) and Spinner (Shane Kippel) to help him find out.

“Love My Way” (April 18 on CTV) – When Snake discovers Emma buying birth control, he surprises everyone with his anger, including himself. He’s not comfortable with Emma and Sean having sex. But as far as Emma’s concerned, Snake is going to have to get comfortable with it, by any means necessary.

With an April 14 tribute set to take place at the Sprockets Toronto International Film Festival and two more volumes of “Degrassi: Extra Credit” in bookstores on April 23, Degrassi: The Next Generation is returning to CTV on a high note.
