Riley is the star player on Degrassi's football team. He is very gifted in the sport along with most other sports, and he is also popular. He hides a secret, however: He is gay and deeply in the closet. The constant worrying about someone stumbling onto his secret plagues him and he has deep set anger issues. But through the help of his friend Peter and boyfriend Zane, he grows more comfortable with himself, comes out, and conquers his anger issues. However, he is found out by is mother and she is deeply in denial. He even breaks up with Zane because he didn't want to put Zane though anymore [[Gayngst]] with his family. But in the end, his mother accepts him. He will attend Eastern University (with Zane) and plans to be one of the first openly gay pro football players.

* [[Adorkable]]: He has his moments, particularly his awkwardness with dealing with coming out.

* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[Homoerotic Subtext]]: with Peter.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: his reason for breaking up with Zane to spare him from his family drama.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: A subversion. He originally had a few traits of this, but this was really due to his fear and self-hatred, and also he needed to put on a show of what he thought was a "real man." In stark contrast, he turned out to be surprisingly tender with a liking for [[Let the Right One In|Indie Swedish films]], was always kinder and gentler to women, and is possibly the only jock type character to have never bullied anyone.

Introduced in season 8, as a girl who transferred from a ballet school. There isn't a lot that's very interesting about her which is probably why she starts lying compulsively in order to make her self seem important. She went out with Danny for awhile until she got dumped due to the relationship not working out. She's mainly a friend to Anya.
