On “Degrassi Next Class” being cancelled “I never got to graduate on the show. So that was painful. They never told us anything. We had our contracts and the way it worked was they had to tell you by a certain date if we were picked up or not. We just never heard from them again.”

On “Degrassi” incorporating important storylines and lessons “Recognizing that these types of things happen and it’s not just your imagination. It’s important for emerging teenagers to recognize that adults aren’t always right.”
OLIVIA SCRIVEN
Currently In a band called Cute Whore with ‘Degrassi: Next Class’ co-star Lyle Lettau.
On the new spinoff “I think now everyone expects it to be explicit because teen shows are becoming more and more explicit. What was controversial or was shocking a year ago is now what we expect.”

On the legacy of “Degrassi”
“I think the legacy of ‘Degrassi’ is being a voice for the kinds out there who are going through hard times, who don’t know where to turn, and who feel alone. I think the legacy of “Degrassi” is being a friend to those kids.”
