She later runs away to Toronto to find solace with Holly J and she transfers back to Degrassi. She was an alcoholic, and after her first stint in rehab and personal discovery, she comes to terms that she is a lesbian. She is still very lonely, and attaches herself too quickly to people.

After he has a meltdown on stage, he finally seeks help and is diagnosed as bipolar and works to overcome the illness and stigma.


Bianca De Sousa

Bianca DeSousa (Season 10- )

Played by Alicia Josipovic

"Someone needs to tell that girl that putting out doesn't solve problems."

Bianca has a lot of attitude and comes with lot of trouble. Since her introduction, she's dealt diet pills to Jenna, fought with Alli and gave Drew shrooms. She is also has no qualms with messing around with other girls' boyfriends, which leads to her less-than-stellar reputation. She actually has gang connections, something she wants to stay in the past. However, her past comes back and ensnares both her and Drew in her gang-banger world. She tries her best to shield Drew from the situation, even after Drew breaks up with her. She has a tough exterior, but she is very thankful for Drew's defense and is in love with hm. She can be a very caring person. She is now working on improving her situation and getting her life back on track.


Drew Torres

Andrew "Drew" Torres (Season 10- )

Played by Luke Bilyk

“This crazy stuff never happened to me before you came along.”

Drew is a New Transfer Student to Degrassi in season 10 and his step-brother is Adam. He strives to be Big Man on Campus and is willing to do anything to get that title. He's not bright, and his mother is pushing him and controlling his entire high school career. He resented Alli Bhandari for doing his school assignment but eventually they become a couple. That is, right before he cheats on her with Bianca and gained a "gross-by-association" reputation with the girls at Degrassi. In season 11, he deals with the baggage Bianca came with, mainly her gang connections and getting the tar beat out with him. The incident gives him post traumatic stress disorder, and he finds scary ways to bring it out, such as joining an underground MMA fight club. But with Katie's help, he mellows out and the two start dating -- with Bianca close by.


Owen Milligan

Played by Daniel Kelly

“You threw Zane in a dumpster, you harassed Riley, and you're a creepy homophobe who likes to upset people. Why not grope a girl?”

Owen is a jock at Degrassi. He doesn't have the best reputation with the female student body: he makes homophobic jokes, he nearly forced himself on Alli, and he is just a general creep. Despite his creeper status, Anya ends up dating him after he reveals he genuinely likes her. He is a pervert, but he does have a vulnerable side and can be a nice guy. It's just way, way, deep down.


Marisol Lewis

Marisol Lewis (Season 10- )

Played by Shanice Banton

“I was on Power Squad, KC. I know her type. I was her type!

Marisol is one of the popular girls at Degrassi and on the Power Squad. She is bubbly and just a little air-headed.

She is a major flirt, and comes in between KC and Jenna when KC is tired of his responsibilities as a teen father. She nearly ends her friendship with Katie over Drew, but she is loyal to her friend to the end. Despite her fun-loving attitude and ditzy demeanor, she is also not hesitant to be the Alpha Bitch at Degrassi.


Imogen Moreno

Played by Cristine Prosperi

“That girl is psycho.”

Quirky, artistic girl introduced in season 11. She dresses in an unusual way, and has a million and one idiosyncrasies.
