Unlike her twin brother Declan, Fiona isn't charming and sociable and deals with crippling loneliness. She had a dependency on Declan and couldn't stand to come second in his life. She also had a penchant for being a drama queen. In season 10, after some much needed therapy, she is a lot happier but unfortunately gained an abusive boyfriend. 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. An unfortunately due to all the time she missed, she has to repeat her senior year in season 11. But she is in a better place emotionally, and has a found a new girlfriend in Imogen.

A dark and mysterious student introduced in season 10. He started a relationship with Clare Edwards after bringing her feelings out in a writing assignment. Eli harbored deep guilt over the death of his first girlfriend, Julia. Due to the guilt, he compulsively hoards and has sociopathic tendencies. But he is also intelligent, creative and funny which leads to Clare falling in love with him. She is also understanding of his issues, until a school bully interferes with their relationship. The worst side of Eli comes out and he scares Clare so badly she breaks it off with him. After the break up, Eli is despondent and on medication. When he is put in charge of the school play, he stopped taking his meds to flourish his creativity. 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 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 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 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.

Played by Annie Clark

“There's something wrong with me, Mom. Everyone knows it. And no amount of therapy's gonna change that.”

Unlike her twin brother Declan, Fiona isn't charming and sociable and deals with crippling loneliness. She had a dependency on Declan and couldn't stand to come second in his life. She also had a penchant for being a drama queen. In season 10, after some much needed therapy, she is a lot happier but unfortunately gained an abusive boyfriend. 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. An unfortunately due to all the time she missed, she has to repeat her senior year in season 11. But she is in a better place emotionally, and has a found a new girlfriend in Imogen.

Played by Munro Chambers

"It's not fair...why should I get to be happy?"

A dark and mysterious student introduced in season 10. He started a relationship with Clare Edwards after bringing her feelings out in a writing assignment. Eli harbored deep guilt over the death of his first girlfriend, Julia. Due to the guilt, he compulsively hoards and has sociopathic tendencies. But he is also intelligent, creative and funny which leads to Clare falling in love with him. She is also understanding of his issues, until a school bully interferes with their relationship. The worst side of Eli comes out and he scares Clare so badly she breaks it off with him. After the break up, Eli is despondent and on medication. When he is put in charge of the school play, he stopped taking his meds to flourish his creativity. 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

Owen Milligan (Season 10- )

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.
