From Mike’s Bloggity Blog:

  • A real Canadian talent
    Last night I was watching Degrassi (which I still insist is one of the best Canadian shows going) and I came to a conclusion: I think Paula Brancati has become my favorite Canadian actress. Right now Brancati is playing double duty on two shows that I have become feriously loyal to: Degrassi and Being Erica. Scoring roles on two big series is a tough feat for any actor, making it more difficult for Paula is the fact that her characters on the two shows have an age difference of about 13 years.” Read more.

With the U.S. premiere of its latest episode on Friday, the Canadian teen drama expanded its range by revealing one of its younger characters suffered from Asperger syndrome and examining his struggle to function in an unsympathetic environment.” Read more.

7:30 p.m. – DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION – “Jane Says, Part 1” – ALL-NEW EPISODE

The Shep (Kevin Jubinville) has returned after his sensitivity training and it’s Spirit Week at Degrassi! However, spirits are anything but high at home for Jane (Paula Brancati) as she struggles to get her dropout brother Lucas (Marc Minardi) off the couch. Despite Jane’s efforts, Jane’s mom believes Lucas could benefit from some father/son time. Jane doesn’t want her father in her life. Her friends and family don’t understand why she hates him. Truthfully, neither does Jane.
