Degrassi season 12 premieres July 16 on MuchMusic

From a media release:

Canada’s #1 Summer Series DEGRASSI Returns to MuchMusic With Season 12 Premiere, July 16

  • Emmy®-nominated, Much original series returns, with all new episodes Monday – Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET
  • Fans can get schooled on past episodes on www.muchmusic.com

Summer school sucks, unless it’s DEGRASSI summer school! Fans won’t want to miss the highly anticipated return of DEGRASSI to MuchMusic, with the Season 12 premiere, Monday July 16 at 10 p.m. ET. The latest season of DEGRASSI is sure to bring on the heat with new storylines and students. Viewers can watch full episodes on muchmusic.com after the broadcast.

Season 11 of DEGRASSI ranked as the #1 Canadian series on MuchMusic for the broadcast year, among total viewers and among teens 12-17, people 12-34, adults 18-34 and 18-49 and female viewers aged 12-34, 12-17, 18-34, and 18-49. In the dramatic season finale, Fiona and Imogen shared their first kiss and the will-they-won’t-they couple of the century, Eli and Clare, indulged in a not-so first kiss. With the premiere episode, “Say It Right”, (Part 1), the halls of Degrassi are full of fresh faces and returning favourites, ready for a whole new year of drama.

This year, with MuchCloser, the exclusive MuchMusic social rewards and loyalty program, fans of the series can watch DEGRASSI and then log on to muchmusic.com where they can earn points and rewards by interacting with the site- sharing, exploring, commenting and much more.

In the premiere episode, Drew (Luke Bilyk) is ready to break-up with Katie (Chloe Rose) for Bianca (Alicia Josipovic) but dreads the drama and looks to some liquid courage to get the job done. Clare (Aislinn Paul) wants to be with Eli (Munro Chambers) but worries that he doesn’t feel the same way. Plus, complicating life for the crew is the arrival of a dozen hotties, as Degrassi welcomes players from a junior hockey team to the school. Encore episodes air Saturdays (2 p.m. – 4 p.m. ET) and Sundays from (8 p.m. – 10 p.m. ET) so fans can catch up on the week’s action.

Jana Sinyor on the Toronto Screenwriting Conference and saying goodbye to Being Erica

Jana Sinyor (Being Erica, Dark Oracle) is one of the speakers at the upcoming Toronto Screenwriting Conference on March 31 and April 1. She tells TV, eh? about her unconventional path to screenwriting, her learning curve on Being Erica, and the project she has in development with ABC now.

First, tell me about the Toronto Screenwriting Conference –- what do you hope to convey there, and what do you hope to get out of it? What role do conferences like this play in career development?

I plan to show up and have an interesting panel discussion with a bunch of people I respect. I hope it will be a lot of fun.

As for what role conferences play in career development, for me, they were extremely important. I remember attending Nuts And Bolts — a weekend conference put on by WIFT-T when I was just starting out — and then later I went to a screenwriting weekend conference that was put together by the WGC. Both events were very important in that they connected me with people I would later work with. I learned a lot from the panels, talked to lots of different people — and felt that attending helped me better focus, better zero in on what I wanted to do and what steps I was going to take to get there.
