In this episode, I’m joined by Miriam McDonald (Emma Nelson) for a heartfelt conversation about Presence for Paws, including why it matters to her, how it supports rescue dogs in need, and how fans can get involved. And yes, we get into Degrassi drama! Miriam shares her real thoughts on Emma's relationships with Sean & Spinner, offers an important clarification about Emma's eating disorder episode, and reflects on filming some of the show’s darker moments, including the school shooting storyline and the creepy scenes with "Jordan."

814 - What did Luke Bilyk really think of Drew’s wildest storylines as they were happening?

In this episode, I’m joined by Luke Bilyk, who played Drew Torres from Seasons 10–14. We talk about what it was like stepping into Degrassi at peak intensity, including how Luke somehow found himself part of an on-set “mafia family,” and what day-to-day life looked like behind the camera.

Luke also shares his honest reaction to seeing Drew and Becky become a couple, plus the fun Degrassi deep-cut: which episodes he appeared in before he ever played Drew at all.

If you love Degrassi, this podcast is for you.
