From Maddy Pumilia of Blogcritics:

  • An Interview with Degrassi’s Charlotte Arnold
    “Holly J is a bit witty and a bit sassy, but that’s what makes her so lovable. Charlotte Arnold has played Holly J. Sinclair for the past four seasons of Degrassi. Back in season seven, she was mean, snarky, and insecure. Definitely the villain you’d love to hate, she made enemies for fun, like treating her best friend Anya (Samantha Munro) horribly by exposing Anya’s learning disability. Degrassi’s now entering its tenth season and Holly J has grown more mature, although she still has that spark of edginess that captures viewers’ attention.” Read more.

In the news: Ben Lewis of Degrassi

From the TV Addict:

  • Spotlight on Ben Lewis: DEGRASSI’s Latest Bad Boy
    “Lucky for this TV Addict, Bobby’s portrayer, Ben Lewis, is nothing like the abusive boyfriend he plays on the wildly-addictive teen sudser. In fact, it turns out he’s a downright nice guy who was thrilled — and maybe even a little surprised — to finally land a role on the show that has become something of a right of passage for young Canadian thespians.” Read more.
