Bonus - What does Degrassi High look like today? I visited the real filming location for Degrassi High at Story Arts Centre (Centennial College) and filmed a tour of the campus.From the iconic ramp to the quad, this video cuts between what it looks like now and scenes from the show filmed in those exact same spots.Fun fact: the panelling at Degrassi High actually inspired the set design for Degrassi: The Next Generation.

816 - Our watch party with Alex Harrouch (Leo) was such a fun night, and even though the audio didn’t record during our event, I still wanted to share something so you could relive the magic of the event.I edited together a replay video that includes Leo’s Degrassi scenes, Alex reacting, and the live chat as it happened. Even without audio, you can still catch the moments, the facial reactions, and the absolute chaos in the chat. 😂If you want the full storytelling side of the night, you can also visit this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/night-with-alex-154231983, where I wrote up Alex’s memories and behind-the-scenes details from the watch party.Thanks for making this event so special, and thank you for being patient with the tech hiccup.Alex Harrouch: IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4270462/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aharrouchDegrassi Kid: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.patreon.com/degrassikid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.discord.gg/degrassikid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠http://www.instagram.com/degrassikid⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.tiktok.com/@degrassi_kid⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠[email protected] by Emmelia
