Hey Everyone!

In the last Digest, there were a few questions about "Ready Or Not". Well...living in Toronto, going to the same High School as Amanda Bertram (Amanda) and being a Teen Tv Fan- I 'spose I should tell you that Ready Or Not is still on the air, on Global at 7:30 pm on Fridays (in Canada) It's a Canadian Show. The two stars are ... 20 and 19 I think. Now- onto Degrassi related stuff- Degrassi Interactive is slowly growing with Character Profiles! <yeah> So check out the new characters- http://www.bawel.net/~actrassi/characters.html But- if anyone here wants to contribute to the rest of Degrassi Interactive PLEASE E-MAIL ME! ( paige@degrassi.org ) Thanks a Bunch.
~Paige : )

*Mark* Sorry everyone, I thought the show was not on the air anymore. Thanks Paige.

Ready or Not is still on here (I'm Canadian) and I believe that they
are still making new episodes for it. I believe that Tim from
Degrassi (Keith White?) occassionally appears as Petrocelli.

Hi, can someone please inform me about what Irene Courakos(a.k.a.Alexa) is doing these days. Personally I thought she was the best looking on Degrassi, and I'm surprised I have'nt seen her in anything else since Degrassi. Thank-You.

Does anyone know what disease Maya had? Was she in a wheelchair in real
life? Anyone know of the latest about her. I enjoyed her performances quite
a lot, although rather scarce.

The show is no longer on here in the states, and vidoes to buy cannot be found anywhere. To me, this is tragic. Atleast Comedy Central has finally mustered the good sense to start airing KidsInTheHall.

Thanks,

Degrassi World #33-Stephanie gets revenge---a rewritten episode on "Fight", written by Mark Polger
(Author's Note: This story actually comes from a real-life experience of a person who was similar to Stephanie Kaye)
^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
It was in the middle of the semester and Stephanie Kaye could not take it anymore. Her main goal was to get Simon, and to have him like her, and she did not let anyone get in her way. She neglected her student council meetings, she stopped calling Voula, who moved to the suburbs, and she did not hang around the twins. She was sick of them paying attention to Spike, who was getting bigger in her pregnancy. Spike was in the midsts of being kicked out of Degrassi. She often asked Stephanie to help her, but Stephanie always said she was too busy with other things. Spike and the twins did not know why she was so busy. She lost touch with Lucy and Voula was wondering what was going on. She slept, drank, ate, breathed, and thought about Simon...and how to get rid of Alexa. She knew it was war when Alexa wore her tight, sexy clothes to attract Simon, but when her mum said she looked like a woman of the night, Stephanie was very happy to have them back. She knew she had a better body than Alexa, who was alittle chunky and had big bulgy eyes, and big flappy ears. Stephanie had to think of a way to get even with her, but she did not know how. Meanwhile, while Joey was making fun of Dwayne, the other student at Degrassi , who was also in grade 8, Stephanie thought of an idea. She knew that Joey was a bog jokester, and that he enjoyed making fun of Dwayne and all the other students in 8D. If she could spread the rumour that Alexa was the person who was making fun of everyone, then Simon could dislike her, and then if Stephanie could defend the class, by giving a speech about treating everyone fairly Degrassi, it would make Simon admire her more. She did not know how to go about planning her strategy, but she knew that she wanted Alexa to be hated by Simon and the whole school. She had evil thoughts of Dwayne, herself, and Simon turning against her, and having the whole school think of her as a backstabber. She went to school that day, ready to talk to Joey, and ask him if he could start spreading the rumour with her. She knew that Dwanyne was planning to have a fight with Joey in Schuyler park after school on Friday afternoon. It was supposed to be a big event, and Joey was extremely nervous. Stephanie wanted to use her power as president to hold a meeting, to discuss the fact that no one should make fun of anybody, and if they do, they will be brought to the principal's office. It seemed like a perfect plan to try to get Simon to like her. He would think she is a god president and that she cared about the student body. Meanwhile, while Spike was fighting with the P.T.A. to stay in school, Stephanie did not make any efforts to help her. Spike was getting helpless, and people began to know for sure, that she was pregnant. She could not hide it anymore. The twins asked Stephanie if she was alright, and Stephanie, looking at Alexa and Simon kissing, said, "I'm fine, just busy with some projects for school." She was behind on her work, and Mr. Raditch, who had just come back from the hospital had assigned a lot of work for the semester. He had been in the hospital and Mr. Colby was to replace him for the week. He did not do any new things with the class. He mainly held debates and class discussions, mainly with Lucy as the main speaker. He seemed to like her the most, and he usually ignored Stephanie, because she was in her own world that semester. No one liked her after she used Joey to get Wheels jealous. She was getting depressed, having no boyfriend in grade8, her mother was dating Jerry, and Arthur, her borther, was getting annoying. Since she told him last semester she would not ignore him, he always wanted to eat lunch with her, and to go home with her. She was obsessed with following Simon and Alexa all the way home. She would take notes in her little red addressbook, and make some key points about her strategy. She then put paper notes in Dwayne's locker, calling him a loser, and other names that insult his intelligence. She wanted to somehow tell him that it was not Joey who was making fun of him. Dwayne would have trouble believing her, because he heard Joey say it himself in the bathroom, but he did not hear what Alexa and her big, bubbly mouth said in the girl's bathroom next door. She finally was able to tell Dwayne that it has been a misunderstanding, and that Joey only was saying these comments, because Alexa was telling the whole class. Joey laughed when he heard that Stephanie was doing this, because he did not know why Stephanie was protecting him. "Why are you telling Dwayne that Alexa is spreading the rumours?". What is up your sleeve, Steph?". Stephanie ignored him and walkled on. "I'm only trying to help you, and to stop Dwayne from beating you up." Joey yelled out as Stephanie was leaving the building, "Joey F. Jeremiah is not afraid of anyone. F is for fighter. Stephanie giggled as her plans were starting to unfold. Dwayne had heard the news and he was still going to beat up Joey, but he wanted to beat up Alexa as well. Simon began to hear rumours about Alexa's big mouth, and he was not very happy. He approached Stephanie and asked her what was going on. Stephanie shrugged and asked Simon where Alexa was. Simon did not know ,but he assumed she was in the bathroom freshening up before class. "Did you hear about the things your girlfriend said about Dwayne?" I hear Dwayne is not very happy. Simon, being very timid and meek, was hoping that Alexa did not say the things she did. Later that day, Joey was expected to show up after school at Schuyler park, but he was late. Snkae and Wheels were waiting, and Alexa and Simon were there too. Dwayne approached the Simon and Alexa and asked them, "What have you said about me?". Alexa asked ," What are you talking about?. You are here to fight Joey, not me and Simon." Actually I am here to fight you as well. There have been many rumours started that you and Joey have been on a crusade to make me look dumb and stupid. No one calls me or 8D dumb and stupid. Alexa, who was completely taken aback, said, "I have never called you dumb and stupid. I only heard Joey make fun of you. I did laugh, but I never instigated it.". Dway questioned, "Well, then who made all these rumours up besides Mr. Jeremiah, who would want to stir trouble?" Stephanie acted cool and calm, and she did not show any signs that she started this mess. Her original quest to get Simon to like her was diminishing, because they were hugging, and they were going for their 3rd month in their relationship. Stephanie now felt she did not have chance. She crept out of the park and started to walk home. Joey came by the park and he said that he was the one who made the rumours and that Stephanie was his partner. "Stephanie???", you mean the school prez?", said Dwayne. "Why would she do that?" Alexa realized that Stephanie was trying to get her beaten up and she was also trying to gain points as a president to maintain order with the student body. She also wanted to win Simon and to embarass Alexa and to make her look bad in front of Simon. Joey ended up gettign beaten up because Stephanie left. Dwayne was doubly angry and he said, "If I could, i would fight Stephanie, but she is not here, and I do not hit girls, so I will hit you Jeremiah instead." Joey was seriously hurt, his nose was broken, he sprained her arm, and he had many bruises all over his body, from being attacked by Dwayne. Dwayne was thrown out of Degrassi Junior high and put into another Junior High school for the rest of junior high. He then went to Degrassi High for grade 9. Stephanie has to give up her position of school president and Susie Rivera took over. Alex Yankou took over Susie's position of vice-president, and Stephanie had to make a council meeting to apologize to 8D, to Simon and Alexa, to Dwayne, and to Joey. The twins and Lucy were shocked at Stephanie's devious plan, and they were so upset they did not want to talk to her for the rest of the semester. Since Degrassi was planning on having a grade 9 there, Stephanie thought it was perfect to go to a new school next year, to leave Heather, Erica, Lucy, and her annoying brother. She was through with politics. She only wanted to be popular, to be liked by the school, and to be liked by Simon. She was suspended from school for one week, and she never saw Dwayne again. Calling up Voula one night, she told her the whole story, and Voula commented, "I am glad I left Degrassi. I will always be yur friend, but there is one thing I will never like about you. You only care about your own interests, and you neglected Spike, and the whole school. As your friend, I am glad you have been impeached. Stephanie agreed, "Voula, you should have been president intead of me."
