Degrassi (Junior) High: C or D, OPO episode

RIP Wheels

Too many things don't add up here...no one involved with the show knew about this for five years? And dying of "natural causes" at 35?

Yeah its very sad. Elsewhere it mentions he struggled with alcohol problems.

The facebook group mentioned in that article seems to indicate they were waiting on confirmation of the death... maybe suggesting he'd gone missing for a long time perhaps? So strange it was kept so completely from the media all this time.

the whole thing is fucked up.

It really is! Its just utterly confusing.

fun fact: Snake is a friend of mine's neighbour!

WHAT?!

Oh no. Poor Wheels. Also, weird about the 5 year thing.

My best friend in college hung out with Wheels once, he randomly showed up at a friend's party and he stayed and hung out all night just talking to everyone. Like a weird low-level Bill Murray kinda thing.
I think by the end of the night they were all, uh do you have somewhere to go? Totally random.

Wow. That's quite a story!
He always kinda reminded me of the first boy I ever had an insane crush on, and to think that he's dead is just...I dunno. Awful.

Does this not break your heart?!

“He was a quiet guy when we were off set, but full of energy, very bright-eyed,” Woods said in a phone interview with the Star from California. “We’re all pretty shocked about the news. We’re saddened by it. Neil was a great guy and a great light.”

Zit Remedy 4 Ever, imo

keep on rollin' ;_;

thought about this a couple of times today and felt sad for wheels
made me want to listen to this and the spitting vitriol from bob before the song starts
weird effects too?!

wheels wheels wheels OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So apparently he was found dead in a rooming house by the police back in 2007 and declared dead but they didnt bother telling anyone he knew? Which sounds mega fucked up.

Sad.

Whenever I tried to watch Degrassi, it was always the episode where they have to look after an egg. So I've seen one episode, around five times.

FYI all episodes up on YouTube

Recently rewatched all of Junior and High original episodes and the first FIVE seasons of Next Generation. Season 1 of NG was ok, 2 abysmal, 3-4-5 a steady decline in writing and chapter and 6 (esp the new intro) represents a betrayal along the lines of when Sassy magazine was bought by YM and lost its soul. Atrocious. Maybe it got better but I wasn’t sticking around to find out.

When the characters started talking like quippy tv teens it was like they had all been replaced by clones.

The episode of Next Generation that revolves around one of the female characters using her sexuality to entice the boys in her class and culminates in her trying to expose her panty-less bottom by putting food in a class fish tank is one of the most stunning things I have ever watched. Same goes for the NG episode about child abuse that features a father who straight-up turns into Jack Nicholson in The Shining and smashes down a door with a golf club

I was wrong; she was feeding frogs in class

There are so many examples - it’s a farce compared to the original series.

The only redeeming quality was realizing how monstrously fucked up teen entertainment was in the early 00 s. That was primo “Lindsay Lohan hot feast &legal!!!” time 🤮🤮🤮

Oops typo she was some other adj not feast

“Ready” iirc

It was like Jeffrey Epstein was in control of the writers room.
