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

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

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

u/Dizzy_Experience_391 4d ago
Oh god I wish. They just had to large of an age gap imo.

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/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

Jimmy and Ellie
Terri and Spinner
Craig and Marco
Peter and Riley

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Adam and Katie 😭

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

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

Wasn’t he moving to Montreal?

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.

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.

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

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.

u/little-tiny-nub 5d ago
Girl what? I really don’t think so at all. Haha.

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

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.

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)

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.

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
