SOME OTHER DEGRASSI PEOPLE..
 The
Wheelers
Well one thing we know about Wheel's
parents is that they adopted him. Take a look at the happy, yet
doomed couple. Mrs Wheeler is barren, and or Mr. Wheeler is impotent.
Perhaps they both are so sexually repulsed by each other that making
a child of their own is out of the question. None the less, they
adopted young Derek when he was small and raised him as their own.
Derek always knew he was adopted.. and his parents encouraged him
to find out who his real parents were if he wanted to. Eventually
Derek's birthday Mike shows up and enlightens Wheels as to who he
really his. One night while he wasn't supposed to be out, Wheels
goes over to play some tunes with the Zit Remedy, when he leaves
he finds out his parents were killed by a drunk driver. Later that
night, or day, it is revealed that like Obi-wan Kenobi and Yoda,
Wheel's parents are now ghosts and can visit him to give him secret
tidbits about life. They only do this once, and just basically tell
him that they are dead. Wow. They were pretty cool, they got Wheels
his first bass guitar, and tried to educate him about other forms
of music besides just Rock and Roll. Mr. Wheeler was a big fan of
Black Sabbath.
 Mike
Teenage pregnancy is a big issue
in Degrassi. First we see Spike get pregnant and have her baby,
next we see Erica get pregnant but have an abortion, and lastly
we see Tessa get pregnant by Joey.. then get an abortion. But where
did the teenage sex start in the Degrassi Universe? Lets travel
back in time, to when Mike was a teenager with Wheel's birthmother..
They got pregnant, but decided to actually have the baby and give
it up for adoption. According to Mike, they were a little older
than Wheels at the time.. probably 15 or something. Mike and the
mom hand picked the Wheelers to take care of little Wheels.. and
then disappeared. Years later he re-appeared, coming off like a
child molester to the students who noticed him hanging around the
playground of Degrassi.. he was really investigating how Wheels
was growing up. The two finally meet and decide they want to get
to know each other. Mike plays drums, and since Wheel's just started
playing bass, they feel they have some sort of connection. When
introduced to Mikes band, Wheels is known as "Mikes Kid"
this makes Wheels mad, even though its the truth. They decide not
to see each other for "a bit". After the parents die, Wheels
gets a post card from Mike who is in Port Hope jamming with his
band, "The Drifters". Wheels heads up to Port Hope, getting
molested on the way.. and greets his dad, who isn't too happy to
see him. Looks like Mike has gotten his new girlfriend pregnant.
I think Mike has an allergy to Latex. Anyway, Wheels grandmother
comes to save the day, and Mike and her get in a fight. Wheels is
mad, and Mike is never seen from again.
 The
Chinese Kid
I'm not a total Degrassi nut, and just
to let you know.. this kid was unimportant, but still deserves a biography
on his stint on Degrassi.. which was what? One episode? "The Great
Race" saw the debut of The Chinese Kid. Who was this mystical kid?
A chubby Chinese kid that's who. He was friends with Wheels, and Jason
and was an obvious athlete. He likes to eat carrots I think in the Degrassi
stairwell. When it is decided that he is one of the boys that will face
off against the girls swim team in the war of "who is best",
he feels pretty confident. In fact, when he emerges from the boys change
room, he is giving the "number 1" gesture on his hands. When
he takes his shirt off, we see he is a chubby Chinese kid. After this
episode, I'm pretty sure he disappeared. He was also on the soccer team..
when the boys need Snake to join there Swim team, there is a rule that
the kid has to be on the soccer team. Snake is crappy at soccer.. but
he's awesome at swimming. The boys decide to let Snake join the soccer
team.. even though he sucks. When Snake goes to kick the ball, it goes
flying.. The Chinese kid says "No problem.. no problem" and
goes to fetch the ball. That's it.
 Jason
Cox (the sports rep)
Here's another reject kid from "Kids
of Degrassi Street" that just didn't make the team for the rest
of Degrassi. Cast as a sports rep, obsessed with; soccer, swimming,
and winning... and over acting his lines. What was with saying "That's
all" for this guy? This isn't Shakespeare, its low budget Canadian
children’s programming.. "that's all". When I get the time
I'm going to make a wav. file of him saying that simple line... maybe
I should include a video as well? its really funny.. and right now as
I write this bio, the only thing that sticks in my head about him..
is that line.. "that's all". . I think this guy was one of
the Degrassi bad apples that made the news with his bad acts. What did
he do? something about armed robbery I think... "that's all".
He was slowly removed from the Degrassi show, and once he was done with
Sports rep, Stephanie K made Joey the new Sports Rep.. and we all knew
that it was supposed to be a grade 7 position didn't we? Jason and the
Chinese kid both moved schools to start again, hoping for a better role.
 Stephanie
Kayes creepy dream guy
Here we have a demented Kurt Browning
(famous Canadian figure skater) look-alike, who has somehow passed for
a sexy soap star. Stephanie, Erica and Heather all went to meet this
creepy guy one day after school to get an autograph, and GASP a kiss?!.
The star of the girls favorite soap opera, which they watched while
they should’ve been studying.. somehow wrote a book on his crappy/creepy
life called "I look like Kurt Browning, except I'm Demented".
The girls loved the book, and took it to be signed by the guy.. he does,
and Stephanie with her whorish charm gives off the right amount of pheromones,
and gets a date with the man. She lies about her age, and the two hook
up later. Steph as the whore, Creepy Kurt Browning guy as the date.
He is in his nice white vette', and starts trying to make out with Steph..
she gets weirded out and jumps out of the car.. proclaiming her true
age, he speeds away and yells something about blue balls.
