This Is What The Original "Degrassi" Cast Looks Like Now

Whatever it takes, I know I can see it through.

Remember Degrassi:The Next Generation, that so-bad-it-was-good teen drama about a bunch of middle/high school students who got into a ludicrous amount of trouble? It premiered in 2001 and it was basically the best soap opera on TV for teens and tweens (which is especially impressive given that it was a Canadian show).
Like all incredibly long-running shows, Degrassi had to drop its characters off one by one and replace them with newbies as they got too old and moved on to other, cooler careers (*cough*Drake*cough*). So where are the original cast members now?

Emma Nelson

We Recommend
Did Drake Just Get an Emoji Tattoo?
Awkward nerd turned bona-fide hottie Emma Nelson was played by Miriam McDonald, who left the show after nine seasons. She's still acting, and you can spot her in made-for-television movies like the drama She's Too Young and the thriller Poison Ivy 4.

Manny Santos

No one could rock a pink sweatsuit like Manny Santos, Emma's bestie and the resident sexy girl. Cassie Steele also left after nine seasons and also continues to act, appearing in made-for-TV movies like Sorority Surrogate and The Dorm.

Paige Michalchuk

Paige Michalchuk, played by Lauren Collins, was the popular girl for eight seasons. Since leaving the show, she's landed roles in movies like Murdoch Mysteries, Zero Recognition, and Farhope Tower.

Spinner Mason

Spinner Mason, played by Shane Kippel, was both a mean bully and cool drummer. After leaving the show after nine seasons, he became a drummer for the indie rock band Dear Love, which somehow feels right.

Sarah Barrable-Tishauer

Sarah Barrable-Tishauer played the adorably geeky Liberty Van Zandt. She also left after nine seasons, and it seems like she continued being a smarty pants IRL. She graduated from Concordia University with a degree in communications and now works as a Digital Marketing Coordinator.

Sean Cameron

We Recommend
Drake Knows He'd Be in Slytherin
Every high school has a bad boy, and Degrassi's was Sean Cameron, played by Daniel Clark. He left after seven seasons and now works as a producer and news correspondent. He has also apparently not aged a day.

J.T. Yorke

Ryan Cooley played J.T. Yorke, who was the class clown before things got serious when he got stabbed to death. After he left the show in the sixth season, he voiced a character in the 2013 TV series Oh No! It's An Alien Invasion.

Toby Isaacs

Nerdy Toby Isaacs was never anyone's favorite character, but when he left in season 8, we all missed his sensible advice. Now, a significantly different-looking Jake Goldsbie is the co-founder, writer, and producer of Not Bad Pictures.

Craig Manning

OK, so Craig Manning (played by Jake Epstein) joined in the second season but he was so dreamy as the show's moody musician that he needed to be mentioned. Since leaving the show for good after Season 8, he's been in several bands and appeared in shows like Being Erica, as well as musicals like Billy Elliot and American Idiot. He then made his Broadway debut in Spiderman:Turn off the Dark and followed that up with another Broadway show, Beautiful: The Carol King Musical.

Aubrey Graham

It would kind of ridiculous not to mention Drake, aka Aubrey Graham. He may be a big-shot rapper now, but to fans of the show he'll always be Jimmy Brooks, the guy who got shot in the most heart-stopping episode of the drama. We see you, "Drake." You can't escape your past.
