Every season of Degrassi, there are plenty of couples, whether they've been going strong for a a season or two, or they're just getting together in the new season. It looks like they'll be a lot of couples this season, old, new and ones we didn't see coming! Here's some of my takes and predictions for this seasons couples. Let's start from where we left off, with the couples that were already together:


Holly J & Declan: Ah, the power couple. I actually thought both characters were graduating this year. Technically speaking, Holly J should have graduated a couple of seasons ago, but apparently she's only entering her senior year. The writers, producers and directors of Degrassi try way to hard to keep these kids around as long as they can. Spinner's what, 25 now?Anyways, I see the same old-same old for them. I don't expect much to change. She'll continue to run the halls of Degrassi and be the biggest over-achiever she can be, while Declan follows her around aimlessly and acts as everyone's favorite pretty boy. They'll probably have their occasional fights and issues, much like the episodes "Keep On Loving You" and "Somebody". I expect nothing new from these two until the end of the season, where college plans and decisions will either make them or break them. I give this couple an A for effort.


KC & Jenna: A clear break up is in the near future for these two. I really don't like Jenna, and I hated that her and KC got together in the first place. First of all, it made KC look bad; he dumps his perfectly fine girlfriend(Clare), for the "hot blond cheerleader". No dude, no. Sure, Clare didn't flounce around in a bikini and join the Power Squad, but that doesn't give you the right to break up with her. Anyways, based off of all the promos and the second to last episode of season 9("In Your Eyes"), KC and Jenna aren't gonna work out. Sure, it was worth a shot and it was fun while it lasted, but KC is clearly either still in love with Clare, or just needs to be single. I give this couple a straight up F.

Danny & Chantay: Honestly, this couple is extremely random. Just like Holly J and Declan, I expect nothing new from them. I even just read that Danny's not even expected to return for season 10. Well then.....so much for this couple. It was a good, what, 4 episodes? I'm no even going to grade this couple.

Now, onto the new couples:


Riley & Zane: Love, love, love this couple! I for-see a good relationship ahead for these guys. There hasn't been a decent gay couple on the show since Marco and Dylan(well actually, Paige and Alex), so I'm really excited for this one. Based off of "In Your Eyes", these two have great chemistry with each other and really seem to understand each other. I was sick of Riley opening and closing the closet door and now that he's finally settled(well, sort of), I think it will be good if he can finally focus more on a boyfriend and less on figuring himself out.

Clare & Eli: I have high expectations for this couple. It's time for Clare to ditch KC completely and play the field a little. I think this Eli kid(I really know nothing about him yet...) could be good for her. He seems kind of artsy and mysterious. To me it seems like Clare is trying to change it up a little bit this season, so maybe he'll fit into her criteria for a boyfriend. I guess he's going to help her express her feelings through writing because she's upset about her parents fighting. I adore writing and have to agree that there's no better way to express your feelings, so I think that's partly why I'll like this couple. I'll give them a B+ for right now.

Fiona & Bobby: It clearly won't be a long lasting relationship for them. If you haven't already heard and seen from the promos and online hype, Bobby(Fiona's new boyfriend from New York) is abusive and beats her. Shocker. Degrassi has been having a tendency to recycle plot-lines(Terri and Rick's abusive relationship in season 3), so I wasn't shocked when they went back to this. Anyways, these guys really won't last long. Probably not more than two episodes. They shouldn't have even put them together in the first place. The get an F.


Alli & Drew: Not bad. I'll be able to tolerate them. I honestly don't think he's as interested in her as she is in him. And did anyone notice that Drew looks exactly like Taylor Lautner from "Twilight"? Because he does. And I think that's the only reason they hired him. Anyways, Alli and Drew will probably mack a lot and will eventually hook up. I have a feeling she'll want to start dating after that, but he won't be feelin' it. Sounds Degrassi like. As long as Alli's not with Johnny anymore, that's cool with me. I'll give these guys a B.


Sav & Anya: Are these two getting back together or not? Can anyone answer that for me?


Well that's all the couples I can think of for now. If others happen, I'll post about them. But for right now, that's it.
