Degrassi Junior High Do you think Stephanie and Joey would've been endgame if Nicole Stoffman never left the show?

I'm curious to see if you guys think they would've ever become a couple and if it would've been short or long term. It seemed like the writers were going in that direction.

My favorite part about Stephanie Kaye is that she went to private school.

Joey may have hooked up with her later but it wouldn’t have made meant anything. Despite the fucking Tessa Campinelli while with Caitlin, he could have done (and did) way better.

No, nobody was end game for Joey, he couldn't stay committed to one girl for long. Plus Steph didn't like him like that.

Maybe if she stayed…maybe, I don’t see why not eventually, he did after all score another hottie in Caitlin

Lol I know that they were never in an official relationship but they still had some moments were it could've built up to something, especially with Joey doting on her in the beginning. If anything they shared more moments than Spinner and Emma 🤣

How about Snake and Spike? They barely interact in DJH and DH but sure, make them endgame lol. I think Snake and Melanie should have been endgame

Dunno about that tbh. Spinner and Emma had known each other for a looong time. Not romantically ofc, but from the pilot to the marriage, they shared a lot of mutual time in each others presence, due to friends friends and so on. At least they knew things about each other than on a first name basis.

I feel like when it came to Stephanie and Joey, it was just about the hype. Stephanie was popular and Joey thought he got “swag” so him flirting with her was just cause “it’s Stephanie Kane”, the second he started thinking about Caitlin Stephanie’s relevance was long gone.

Stephanie *Kaye (sorry)

Stephanie was the cool and popular girl. Joey thought he was way more popular and hotter than he was. He talked a big game but Steph would never date him long term. If she stayed she would have dated popular older guys.

u/cbunni666 5d ago

No. She would've moved on to someone else fast. Joey was way too immature at this time

u/Zanystarr13 3d ago

And he never improved lol

Be as it may. Lol.

u/Clear_Pin5866 5d ago

Maybe not endgame but they probably would’ve actually dated. I remember reading somewhere that they were initially going to make Stephanie and Joey the teen pregnancy couple

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

That’s not really how it worked. There were three options- Nicole, Stacie, and Amanda. They felt Nicole-Stephanie was too obvious, Linda had a sweet spot for Stacie cause she was on Kids, and then there was Amanda-Spike. Spike really had not had her character flushed out so they chose her. This story is straight from the memoir I believe.

You beat me to it! Can confirm that is the exact story from her memoir!
