Best Degrassi Characters
Adam taught audiences an important storyline. Even though the main aspect of his character was brought out by Degrassi, he was also kind, helping Clare with her cancer. He saw the good in people and always managed to put on a smile.
Even his death brought out an important storyline about texting and driving, teaching teenagers worldwide not to text and drive. Adam Torres' death was heartbreaking, and we'll never say goodbye to Adam Torres.
Wow, I'm so sad. I can't believe he died! P.S. Jordan played my favorite character from Life with Derek - Lizzie!

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... read more Spinner went through so much and, in the end, came out on top. He messed up big time by getting Jimmy shot but fixed his life afterward. 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. Still, he was always one of my favorites no matter what he did (a lot...) because he 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 cannot have skin as good as his. It hurts.
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.

Holly J. was the best! She was the most entertaining character and was so well played by the wonderful Charlotte Arnold! She was one of the only reasons I watched Degrassi! Love Holly J!
She's the queen bee and always will be! Charlotte Arnold did a great job playing the role of the dreaded, terrifying, yet loving Holly J. Sinclair.

She worked her ass off for everything!
He is so adorable and innocent. He has cute puppy-dog eyes. His shyness and gentleman-like qualities are what make him to die for.
I didn't vote for him, but he is tied for my favorite character. I will always love him.
He was around for the shortest amount of time, yet made the biggest impression.

Maya's struggles with mental health issues, including depression, provide a realistic and empathetic portrayal of the challenges faced by young people. Her... read more She's fabulous. She should be number one. She's been through a lot, which has allowed her to develop her personality. For instance, her suicidal boyfriend (we miss you, Cam), being in fights with friends, being cyberbullied, 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 still cannot get over his death, and I rewatch his scenes all the time. He was the funniest, sweetest guy, 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. He was hilarious. Hey Liberty, girlfriend! He was so cute, and he never did anything wrong.
I don't remember 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.

She had the most growth out of any character on the show ever! She was a great, loyal friend, and she became a pretty cool person in the end.
And who can forget her famous "cuckoo bananas" lines! She's definitely the best for me. Spinner would be my favorite male! He grew a lot too, and they were both hilarious!
How is she not higher? Manny is the best character by far and shows so much character development over nine seasons. Love her!
