DEGRASSI STARS SPOTTED

I spotted a few cast members of Degrassi in T.O!

I recently spotted Degrassi alumni Raymond Ablack who played ‘Sav’ on the streets of T.O after he just finished an audition. Ray said I looked good! I was kinda surprised by the comment lol That made my whole morning! Thanks Ray! Well, the rock band he was in with some of the other cast members of Degrassi ‘Sound Speed’ broke up due to musical differences. He also told me that even though he graduated from Degrassi, he will still make some appearances for a few episodes especially since tv sister Alli is still on the show. Ray is a great, friendly, talented guy and I hope he does amazing things with his acting and music!

I keep seeing Melinda Shankar who plays Alli everywhere and Sav’s lil sister on the show! First of all, I keep seeing her at a grocery store near her home in sunglasses. I never talk to her when she is shopping. However, I did decide to talk to her when she was with her sister. They were both looking like Divas at waiting for the train at Dundas. I didn’t want to intrude their convo at first but I wanted her to make an appearance for one of my work events. So, I introduced myself and broke the ice by talking about how we first met the MMVA’s. We talked about We Day and I also told her how much the kids love her. She agreed to make an appearance at my work event! She was totally nice!

Argiris Karras plays Riley the gay athlete who struggles with his sexual orientation. Argiris was on the same Dundas subway station platform waiting for our train when the train service stopped running! Everyone was in shock because the reason why the train was at a halt was because a drunken man walked from one station to another on the train tracks! It was annoying because he was making everyone late and it was scary because this guy was walking on the train tracks knowing a train was coming! Speaking of a drunken man, Argiris was reeeeeeeally wasted when I first met him at the MMVAS. He even stepped on my shoes and ain’t no one steps on my shoes! He’s lucky I kept my cool! LoL Argiris was with his friends and they decided to bounce from the scene after the TTC announced shuttle services were being provided.
