List of episodes

The tenth season of Degrassi premiered in Canada on 19 July 2010, concluded on 22 April 2011, and consists of 44 episodes. Degrassi is a Canadian serial teen drama television series. Previously known as Degrassi: The Next Generation,[2] the suffix "the Next Generation" was dropped this season, due to the original next generation of students having all been written out. With the start of the tenth season, the series has survived longer than the nine-year gap between Degrassi High's telemovie School's Out, and Degrassi’s premiere episode "Mother and Child Reunion".

Although only two school years have passed in the story timeline since season six, season ten is set in the first semester, and first half of the second semester, in which the year it aired. Writers have been able to use a semi-floating timeline, so that the issues depicted are modern for their viewers. This season again depicts the lives of a group of high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors, as they deal with some of the issues that young adults face such as abusive relationships, bullying, sexual identity, gender identity, pregnancy, illegal situations, family issues, drug use, running away, and alcoholism. This season doubled the order of episodes, and switched to a telenovela/soap opera format, with the show airing new episodes four days a week, for the first 24 episodes.[3][4] Six actors are added to the ensemble cast, while eight cast members have either left the series or been dropped from the main cast to guest appearances.

Production for the season began on 26 March 2010[5] at Epitome Pictures' studios in Toronto, Ontario. This was the first season not to air on broadcast television. It is also the first season to have simultaneous airings in Canada and the United States.[6] This was the earliest start to a season. In the US, the first half of season ten was promoted as Degrassi: The Boiling Point, while the final twelve episodes of the season were promoted as Degrassi: In Too Deep.[7] The fifth Degrassi dedicated soundtrack, Degrassi: The Boiling Point, was released 1 February 2011.

Cast

For the tenth season twenty-two actors have star billing and appear in the title sequence, two less than the previous season. Stefan Brogren as Archie "Snake Simpson" is the only original cast member (in terms of either season 1 in 2001 or the continuity's start in 1987) to return. Returning cast members are Raymond Ablack as Sav Bhandari, Charlotte Arnold as Holly J. Sinclair, Annie Clark as Fiona Coyne, Sam Earle as K.C. Guthrie, Jahmil French as Dave Turner, Argiris Karras as Riley Stavros, Landon Liboiron as Declan Coyne, Jajube Mandiela as Chantay Black, Samantha Munro as Anya MacPherson, Aislinn Paul as Clare Edwards, A.J. Saudin as Connor Deslauriers, Melinda Shankar as Alli Bhandari, and Jessica Tyler as Jenna Middleton. Judy Jiao (Leia Chang) and Jamie Johnston (Peter Stone) starred in only the first half of the season.

Actors from season nine who did not return this season were Dalmar Abuzeid as Danny Van Zandt, Paula Brancati as Jane Vaughn, Jordan Hudyma as Blue Chessex, Melissa DiMarco as Daphne Hatzilakos, Shane Kippel as Spinner Mason, Miriam McDonald as Emma Nelson, Scott Paterson as Johnny DiMarco, Cassie Steele as Manny Santos, and Natty Zavitz as Bruce the Moose. All left the series, except for Scott Paterson (Johnny), who made a couple of guest appearances.

New regular actors this season are Luke Bilyk, Munro Chambers, Alicia Josipovic, Jordan Todosey, and Spencer Van Wyck, who have been cast as five students: Drew Torres, Eli Goldsworthy, Bianca DeSousa, Adam Torres, and Wesley Betenkamp, and Cory Lee cast as a teacher, Miss Oh. Half-way through the season, recurring actors Shannon Kook-Chun (Zane Park), and Daniel Kelly (Owen Milligan) are given star billing. James Edward Campbell (Fitz), and Joy Tanner (Mrs. Coyne) who appeared in ninth season episodes, return on a recurring basis, and Ramona Milano (Mrs. Torres) also joins the cast as a concerned parent.[8]

The two-part episode "My Body Is a Cage", centering around transgender character Adam's struggles with his family over his gender identity, won a 2010 Peabody Award for presenting its subject in a manner that "neither trivializes nor overdramatizes its subject".[12] It also received a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award in the outstanding children's program category, alongside iCarly, Victorious, Wizards of Waverly Place, and winner A Child's Garden of Poetry.[13]

Saudin was nominated as a Recurring Young Actor in the Best Performance in a TV Series.[16]

Episodes

The first run, of 24 episodes, began after the feature-length film Degrassi Takes Manhattan in July 2010, and ran for six weeks.[17] This is also the first season that the episodes aired on the same nights in Canada and the United States, with the exception being the first week, when the United States was one day behind Canada. This is the first time that the opening credits have been revised halfway through the season, and was repeated for season 11.
