Nathalia left, it wasn't their choice. They're actually lucky. She gave them a heads up early in film time of the second season saying it'd be her last (at least for now) & they brought Eddie in knowing it would all make sense in the end of the season. & I love Degrassi. The biggest reason it has survived so long is because of it's purpose. Degrassi is there to guide teens. Help them through any possible situation. Some storylines are repeated and some people may think thats either annoying or cliche, but if they truly understood the point of the show they would'nt be saying that. Each character will deal with a situation or problem different than the other. I mean when Manny was pregnant in season 3 she had an abortion. But throughout the episode she had to decide what was right for her. & Jenna had her baby, mostly becuase it was too late for an abortion. But I'm sure if it wasn't she still wouldn't have. Using that as an example obviously both characters did totally opposite things. There for seeing different characters battle through similar problems can help teens understand what might be best for them. & As much as Degrassi has a happy ending in most stories a lot of them aren't happy endings which in life is true. So Degrassi is like watching life with a script. I can honestly say if you think Degrassi is out of control then its not for you. But even though you have a right for your opinion its not out of control. Again that is just my opinion, but if everyone or many people thought that then it would'nt still be on. Would it?
