1 Adam Torres
Adam taught all audiences an important story line and even though the main aspect of the character that degrassi brang out he was also kind, helping Claire with her cancer was one thing, he saw the good in people and always managed to put on a smile. Even his death brought out an important story line, texting and driving, teaching teenagers all over the world not to text and drive. Adam Torres death was heartbreaking and we'll never say goodbye to Adam Torres.
Wa I'm so sad I can't believe he died! PS Jordan played my fave character from Life with Derek- Lizzie!
The only trans character
Hated it when he died
2 Spinner Mason

He starts as a class clown and becomes more responsible and mature as he faces challenges related to relationships and personal growth. Spinner's journey through high school showcases his evolution from a troublemaker to a more thoughtful and compassionate individual. Spinner went through so much and in the end came out on top. He messed up big time by getting Jimmy shot and fixed his life afterwards. Dude has paid his dues.
Talk about bad luck. I mean- this guy was literally a walking pile of doom by the end of the show but he was still always one of my favourites no matter what he did (a lot...) because he by far had the most growth out of most of the boys in the original cast. Also, look at that face. He was adorable. One bad thing though: Don't lie to me, teenagers can not have skin as good as his. It hurts :(
Dude spinner is the best. He had to go through so much and he ended up being the sweetest guy in the whole show. I love you spinner.
An icon who has developed so much!
3 Eli Goldsworthy
His personal character storyline was the best. Not to mention the accuracy of his journey through finding out about his bipolar disorder.
He is hands down the best character. He is The reason I started watching the show and the reason I stopped (because he left)
Eli has made mistakes but at the end of the road he is a really good person.

8 Marco Del Rossi
9 Campbell Saunders
He is so adorable and innocent. He has a cute puppy dog eyed face. His shyness and gentleman-like qualities is what makes him to die for.
I didn't vote for him but he is tied for my favorite character. I will always love him.

Maya's struggles with mental health issues, including depression, provide a realistic and empathetic portrayal of the challenges faced by young people. Her character contributes to the show's commitment to addressing relevant and sensitive topics. I used to love her. Then I was sympathetic with her. But, after that summer in Paris I hated her. Then I hated her slightly less. Now... I still hate her. She is my least favorite Disney character. She told her best friend secret. He got mad at Zoe for kissing my will but ended up dating him in the eye he got mad at Zoe for kissing Miles ( purposely ruined their relationship, tried making Miles jealous and stuff and tried making Zoë look like the villain when in reality the villain was Maya) but ended up dating him in the end.
She's fabulous. She should be number one. She's been through a lot which have alllowed her to develop her personality. For instance her sudicidal boyfriend( we miss you cam� - ), being in fights with friends, being cyber bullied, esme drama, and committing suicide herself. I don't know why people give her a hard time. But they shouldn't because maya is one of the best Degrassi characters I have seen in a long time
I really like her, and she's been through a lot. I do not ship her with Zig though, that relationship is a train wreck.
I don't know why but I like her so much, especially when she got depression then her storyline was really great.

He was the funniest, sweetest guy there was and he did not deserve what happened to him in even the slightest way. The guy who killed him should be locked up for life and Johnny should be too.
Excuse me it is #notokay that he is only 19th. Like he was hilarious like. Hey Liberty Girlfriend. And so cute and he never did no wrong. I don't remeber which episode this was but when he was making the skeleton dinosaurs hump and just him with liberty or manny his friendship with toby his wet dream and so on he was the best.
