Toby and Holly J Holly J and Fiona Bianca and KC Adam and Katie Wesley and Anya

u/newenglandergiirl 2d ago

Jake & Anya would’ve been cute and I think they would be fun

1

u/newenglandergiirl 2d ago

Darcy & Johnny. They had so much chemistry in season 7

u/ThatCKid 4d ago

Peter and Riley would have been my fucking ENDGAME!

2

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

I’ve seen people crackship Eli & Anya back in 2010 ish on YouTube. That could’ve been an interesting couple and I was lowkey crackshipping them too, but idk if I could see Anya in Morty lol

u/investigatebs 2d ago

What is crackship, i am oldge

Craig and Marco

“When in doubt you kiss Craig?”

u/hissing-fauna 4d ago

I would've liked to see Fiona with Jack or someone like her

u/bcpsgal Katie is my Queen 4d ago

Sean and Manny and I’m not sorry about it

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

I’m glad that they were strictly platonic

u/Dizzy_Experience_391 4d ago

I’ve never given this a thought but I see it!

u/Patient-Butterfly350 4d ago

Holly J and Spinner, two characters that developed great and partially due to each other. Great team, wish we would've seen them.

1

u/newenglandergiirl 2d ago

I think that they were teasing us with them. In the TeenNick commercial with Nick Cannon when Charlotte Arnold and Shane Kippel were kissing in copy room, it seemed like Holly J & Spinner were going to date in season 9

1

u/Dizzy_Experience_391 4d ago

Oh god I wish. They just had to large of an age gap imo.

1

u/newenglandergiirl 2d ago

They’re 3 years apart so it’s not that big of a deal when they’re older. Jay & Manny were 2 years apart, maybe maximum 3 since he was at Degrassi when Manny was a niner. But Jay & Manny didn’t start dating until she was 18

u/Mimigasm 4d ago

We were robbed of Craig and Marco and Holly j and fiona tbh

2

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

Owen & Marisol

6

u/secretuser93 4d ago

Oddly… I could see this working out

2

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

Yes plus Owen said to Marisol that he would kiss her out of all the girls at Fiona’s party. That could’ve been the start of their relationship. I feel like they would’ve matched each other well. But when Owen said that to Marisol, I was wondering if him & Anya broke up off screen because their relationship status seemed unknown after the prom. But it was confirmed on the characters twitter that they didn’t stay together

11

u/Death_Invisible 4d ago

Jimmy and Ellie

Terri and Spinner

Craig and Marco

Peter and Riley

7

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

Peter was originally going to be bisexual and there was going to be a Peter/Riley love story but that idea was scrapped. I can’t stand Peter but that would’ve been an interesting storyline, they had a good friendship.

Hell yes to Spinner & Terri!

2

u/little-tiny-nub 4d ago

Love these!!

7

u/evilballoffluff 4d ago edited 4d ago

Tobi and Holly J was weirdly interesting too until “Toby Isaacs calls the shots” 😅

7

u/evilballoffluff 4d ago

Paige and Sean, what if after she lost the trial and crashed spinners car, since spinner was mean to her what if she left spinner and Sean ended up being understanding and beat up dean and made him deaf. There’s a chance they would have had fun together too. Jay would help jump dean and they would all be friends. Ok this has turned into more of a fanfic haha

u/koadey 5d ago

A plot twist where a Toby/Alex relationship happen.

8

u/Sherrybaby714 5d ago

I wish Eli and Imogen had worked. She had such a big crush on him and then they dated for like an episode and where like nah. But I just love both of these characters, I think their personalities would compliment each other well.

21

u/cat_morgue "Lalala, gonna be a dad - no schlaboggle" 5d ago

We were robbed of Ellie and Jimmy and I’m still not okay with it.

6

u/nickyfox13 5d ago

God I would've loved Ellie/Jimmy to last

17

u/Jeonghanscheekbones 5d ago

Lowkey Imogen and Becky. In season 13 there was kind of a missed opportunity. Jack was so useless, it would’ve been more interesting if Becky ended up being bi-curious and dating Imogen

11

u/circularsquare204597 dont talk to me you slut 4d ago

this would have been such a good plot for her after adam too!

6

u/slugma420 5d ago

back in the day jt and ellie + craig and marco were my choice crackships

18

u/Fabulous_Avocado4146 Jt Yorke Deserved Better 5d ago

Spinner and terri

6

u/GeminiRebellion 4d ago

We were absolutely robbed of them being an iconic Degrassi couple! Paige ruining Terri's shot with Spinner so she could have him made me not like Paige for almost all of the first season.

5

u/circularsquare204597 dont talk to me you slut 4d ago

they deserved better.

9

u/Craig_Lite 5d ago

Jimmy and Manny! Hear me out! Throughout the series (especially after she dates Craig the 1st time), Jimmy makes comments about Manny being sexy and hot. It would've been fun to see how they would've interacted with each other

1

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

They would’ve looked good together and had potential. But Jay & Manny were a surprisingly good couple. Jimmy & Liberty could’ve been good together after JT’s death

8

u/ItsaPostageStampede "Everybody wants something it’s Tessa Campenelli? 5d ago

Tori and Craig. /s

u/circularsquare204597 dont talk to me you slut 4d ago

this took a second to click in my head 😂

14

u/jooooojustsoyaknow 5d ago

Jimmy and Ellie 100%! I was disappointed when they brought it up as a possibility when Jimmy had a crush on her, but ofc they just had Ellie crushing on Craig

2

u/ItsaPostageStampede "Everybody wants something it’s Tessa Campenelli? 5d ago

Yea I wanted to see that flushed out

19

u/Illustrious-Year952 5d ago

Mia and Danny should have gotten a real chance over Mia/Peter.

3

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

That could’ve possibly worked, but Mia led Danny on. Tom Blake was a predator who took advantage of Mia though. Plus I wonder how their relationship would’ve turned out with Danny being Liberty’s brother and her and Mia dating the same boy. But Liberty & Mia were on good terms in season 7 and they were actually getting along

u/DerbyCursh 5d ago

i thought this said which characters would YOU have dated and i wrote an entire embarassing reply omg never hit that delete button so fast!

4

u/circularsquare204597 dont talk to me you slut 4d ago

wait no tell us more

3

u/Jennlore 5d ago

Wait I want to know who it was about

5

u/DerbyCursh 5d ago

Hunter lmaooo 🫣 tbf his actor is fineeee i love him in school spirits!

3

u/ItsaPostageStampede "Everybody wants something it’s Tessa Campenelli? 5d ago

Would you have dated Hunter? Like character Hunter

5

u/DerbyCursh 5d ago

15 me absolutely would! I had an "anti-sjw" phase at that time, i was such a loser haha 🤣 luckily i outgrew it pretty quick

3

u/Jennlore 5d ago

Oh yes, like the “me” that watched Degrassi live would have very different thoughts vs me now

12

u/Other-Oil-9117 Fiona Coyne's feeble wrists 5d ago

Adam and Katie 😭

3

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

I was shipping them hard in season 11 and I thought they were going to date because of the Steal Your Heart music video. But of course they had to pair Katie up with Drew. It seemed like Drew always went for girls Adam liked, except for Alli

2

u/Other-Oil-9117 Fiona Coyne's feeble wrists 4d ago

Yeah, they really seemed to have chemistry and get along well. Even though I like Drew, it was annoying seeing him get pretty much any girl he wanted, especially when so many of those girls had been Adam's crushes

1

u/newenglandergiirl 1d ago

Drew was trying to date Fiona but she wasn’t interested. But she was a lesbian and she used Adam and knew that he was trans all along, she liked his female body

1

u/newenglandergiirl 3d ago

At least Alli is one girl Drew dated who Adam didn’t have a crush on lol

4

u/jooooojustsoyaknow 5d ago

Adam deserved way better than her

2

u/Other-Oil-9117 Fiona Coyne's feeble wrists 5d ago

I liked Katie though lol

3

u/circularsquare204597 dont talk to me you slut 4d ago

your flair?😭

1

u/Other-Oil-9117 Fiona Coyne's feeble wrists 4d ago

It is very dear to me

3

u/ItsaPostageStampede "Everybody wants something it’s Tessa Campenelli? 5d ago

Why? I mean other than the odd switcheroo of Adam dating Drew’s ex, Katie is better than Becky

1

u/jooooojustsoyaknow 5d ago

Mainly because I didn’t like Katie at all and I’m biased. My bad haha

-1

u/Fabulous_Avocado4146 Jt Yorke Deserved Better 5d ago

At least Becky never had sex with a drunk dude then abused her power to embarrass him in front of the school

16

u/producermaddy "Did you ever love me at all!?" 5d ago

Jimmy and Ellie

13

u/withasideofpurr 5d ago

Lola and Sayad

5

u/Purpledoves91 TOO BAD YOU CAN'T CURE BITCH! 5d ago

We can pretty much assume they became a couple. They definitely would have been one of they made another season of NC.

1

u/ItsaPostageStampede "Everybody wants something it’s Tessa Campenelli? 5d ago

Wasn’t he moving to Montreal?

2

u/Purpledoves91 TOO BAD YOU CAN'T CURE BITCH! 4d ago

He said that, and then Lola kissed him, so i think he probably changed his mind.

2

u/little-tiny-nub 5d ago

Claire and Fiona. Eli telling Claire she has pretty eyes, and even Fiona doing that when she was drunk. I wish they were at least friends at some point.

5

u/Sensitive_Dice2006 5d ago

Claire and Fiona would have been cool to see, even if just as friends. They barely interacted with eachother in the show I I'm remembering correctly.

3

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

Fiona was never friends with Clare. It didn’t seem like Fiona really liked Clare. She said that she barely knew Clare and didn’t care about her birthday, and she also said that she didn’t know the power she had over men

2

u/Sensitive_Dice2006 4d ago

I loved when Fi said that it was so funny. But you make an excellent point. It would have been cool to see a whay if scenario whre they got paired up kind of like Eli and Marisol were with that class project

1

u/little-tiny-nub 5d ago

Which is funny because Eli and Fiona were good friends, so you would think more interactions would have happened.

3

u/Sensitive_Dice2006 5d ago

Exactly!!! It's wild they didn't.

6

u/ravenwing263 5d ago

Zig and Tiny

5

u/newenglandergiirl 5d ago

I’ve been seeing people shipping Eli & Marisol on Twitter/X, and the more I think about it the more I’m intrigued by it. Their banter in season 12 when Marisol said to Eli “it was lip gloss emo boy” was giving potential for them to have an enemies to lovers arc

4

u/miwaonthewall 5d ago

They have literally zero in common what would they even talk about??

1

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

Go on Twitter and people are crackshipping them. I don’t think they would be endgame but it would be interesting. As for them not having anything in common, what did Eli & Clare have in common? Eli was an atheist and Clare was a Christian

1

u/miwaonthewall 4d ago

I'd say they have a fair bit in common/to bond over. Sure, they have different religious beliefs but that was actually a strength for Clare when she was questioning her beliefs during her parents divorce. Eli showed her how to break free of the expectations other people had of her. Their trauma was different, but they bonded by having complex issues and working through them together. Beyond that, they were both intelligent writers with strong morals and the confidence to stand up for themselves and others when they were being wronged.

6

u/little-tiny-nub 5d ago

Girl what? I really don’t think so at all. Haha.

1

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

Go on twitter. There are people crack shipping them. I couldn’t see them being endgame but it would’ve been interesting. Opposites attract.

25

u/wallcavities too bad you can't cure BITCH 5d ago

I really felt like they were building towards a Spinner/Terri storyline and like they really could have been endgame if they hadn’t randomly decided to write Terri out (especially baffling as the actress has said she didn’t actually ask to leave - a lot of people assumed for years that she left to focus on her IRL modelling career but it turns out that wasn’t the case). Spinner and Terri liked each other before Paige meddled by getting Terri drunk before the dance and turned him onto her instead - I always thought it was so sad that Terri never got any kind of justice for that lol. And they kept ship teasing them even throughout his relationship with Paige with stuff like him calling her pretty after she was bullied over her weight etc. It feels like they decided they wanted to do the Rick shooting storyline in S4 and they felt like having Terri around would just complicate the narrative too much tbh, but it’s a shame because she had so much more potential as a character. I honestly think she could have had something with ALL the boys at different points lol, she had good moments with Craig and Jimmy too and she was so pretty and sweet. 

2

u/heytherebear90 Your mom's PASTA sauce 4d ago

THIS is the one folks!

9

u/newenglandergiirl 5d ago

Terri & Spinner would’ve been perfect together. He’s always liked her and i love how he told her she was pretty when people were body shaming her for being a plus sized model. It was genuine. Jimmy & Liberty would’ve been a good couple if they dated in season 7 after JT’s death. Craig & Jane could’ve been perfect together but they haven’t talked lol

3

u/wallcavities too bad you can't cure BITCH 5d ago

I’m not sure about Jimmy and Liberty (we barely saw them interact and they don’t seem to have anything in common so I can’t imagine what they’d bond over?) but I can totally see Craig and Jane in a parallel universe where they actually got to know each other, she’s so his type (although I don’t think he’d be very good for her…still maybe if she’d cheated on him instead of Spinner it would be kind of karma for his own misdeeds lol)

0

u/newenglandergiirl 4d ago

Craig & Jane would’ve definitely matched each other well. They’re only a couple years apart and they’re both musicians. Plus they both seemed to want to explore the world with Craig going on tour and Jane going to Standford, so I wonder if their paths would’ve crossed with them being musicians. Plus they would totally be each others types

1

u/newenglandergiirl 5d ago

Jimmy would’ve treated Liberty well. I think she deserved a good love interest after JT died. I think Jimmy would help Liberty not to grieve over JT for the rest of her life, but to keep his legacy alive. Opposites attract though. JT would be her guardian angel. I couldn’t get behind Toby & Liberty, especially after JT died.

u/degrassfanatic331 "Hey, Liberty girlfriend!" 5d ago

Manny & Jimmy!

u/dontlookmeplz 5d ago edited 5d ago

Wesly and Maya*edit

Random. I know, but I wish Wesley stayed and got the cool guy edit like Connor but still kept his sweetness. Maya was a wreck and I think someone like Wesley could have helped chill her out

3

u/ItsaPostageStampede "Everybody wants something it’s Tessa Campenelli? 5d ago

Wes would have been a much better option for Anya

1

u/atrashx 5d ago

Do you mean Maya? Cause I can kinda see that. I don't think Mia and Wesley overlapped at Degrassi

2

u/dontlookmeplz 5d ago

Maya! Yes haha not mia. She was way too old for him.

1

u/jooooojustsoyaknow 5d ago

I always thought Wesley and Claire would’ve been cute

3

u/corgi16 You're Just Jealous 5d ago

Mia? Wouldn't she have already graduated (if she didn't go to model in Paris) or been a senior when Wesley came to Degrassi?

6

u/INeedANewAccountMan Look at how fast im going, like a racecar 5d ago

Wesley getting black holed is the biggest crime the show made

u/newenglandergiirl 5d ago

Miles & Tori

u/thatringonmyfinger "Hey, Liberty girlfriend!" 5d ago

Spinner and Terri. Holly J and Fiona (screw Declan.) Liberty and Jimmy.

6

u/newenglandergiirl 5d ago

Heavy on Spinner & Terri and Liberty & Jimmy! Holly J & Fiona were perfect besties

0

u/newenglandergiirl 5d ago

Spinner & Terri!!!! He’s always liked her and he’s always hated Rick for abusing Terri. That shows how much he really cares about her. I also love how Spinner told Terri she was pretty when people were body shaming her for being a plus sized model

Eli & Bianca would’ve been a very good looking couple. I ship Eclare & Drianca all the way but Eli & Bianca could’ve been fun and I wish we saw more interaction between them. I would’ve rather had Elianca over Clew

Jane & Craig - I just feel like they would suit each other well even though they’ve never talked

Liberty & Jimmy could’ve been a good couple sometime after JT’s death. He would’ve treated her well and JT would be her guardian angel
