810 - What can Degrassi: The Next Generation teach us about unhealthy relationship dynamics, attachment styles, and the messy reality of teen love?

Alexa Katchinska, a relationship coach known for her TikTok lives, joins me to dive into Degrassi's unhealthy relationships.

We're diving into six Degrassi: TNG couples, unpacking their attachment styles, where things get healthy vs. unhealthy, and what advice Alexa would give them if they were real clients.

We'll cover the obvious relationships like Eli & Clare or Manny, Ashley & Craig, but, we'll also cover our relationship hot takes. Relationships on Degrassi that the fandom loves, that we think fall into an unhealthy relationship.

We want to know - what do you think?

If you love Degrassi, this podcast is for you.

Bonus - What really happened in Degrassi’s deleted scenes? Did the show make the right call cutting them?

In this video, I dive deep into a collection of deleted scenes from Degrassi: The Next Generation. From Wheels giving Lucy an emotional apology to Downtown Sasquatch debating their band name. Some scenes add surprising layers to the characters, others… yeah, deserved to stay on the cutting room floor.Together, we’ll break down what each deleted moment adds (or doesn’t) to the story, why it may have been removed, and whether keeping it would have changed anything for our favourite Degrassi arcs.

Because at Degrassi… even the deleted scenes go there.

In this episode, Astra Crosby, known to fans as Faith from Degrassi Junior High and the breakout teen documentary series Talk 16, looks back on her time in front of the camera.

Once a runaway teen, Astra opens up about her complicated coming-of-age captured on TV, the opportunity she lost, and the life she rebuilt beyond the spotlight.
