Degrassi Experience Interviews Stephen Stohn

Yesterday, Degrassi Experience uploaded an interview that they did with Stephen Stohn earlier in the week. You can watch the full video below also below I’ve summarized the key Season 13 info we got from the interview (there are no spoilers).

Important Season 13 information

Season 13 Info: New characters and episode titles is being held until the broadcasters announce the new actors. This statement like some other bloggers like KaryDegrassi and some fans confused me because I thought Epitome would release how the new characters are before the broadcasters, but you can expect none of this will come out until the season 12 finale in June. The Stohn did say that he might try to release the episode title for 1301 soon, so we'll see if those titles match with the titles we saw in Abby’s casting director interview. He said he has been taking pictures of all of the scripts/readthroughs, which he will post when its the right time.

New characters: The Stohn also said there will be three or four new characters who will have major roles in the summer block and some who will play more of  minor role in the summer block. Stohn also said there is one new main character who won’t appear until the fall block.

There will be no send off for Tori Santamaria: If you haven’t heard yet, Alex Steele isn’t returning to Degrassi for season 13 because she wants to pursue a film career. Stohn said they aren’t going to write off her character it sounds like they aren’t even going to try and explain her absence because they are hoping that Alex will return to the show in future seasons.

Party With Degrassi: There was no real update on this so far, Stohn has been saying that it’s up to the broadcasters to make that happen, but he did say that the premiere party in MuchMusic’s parking lot is pretty much going to happen again this year which will take place Friday, July 12th.
