    Maybe because I'm a little older, but Ashley Kerwin should be up there. She was a holier than thou music snob, outed Manny's pregnancy, threw Jimmy under the bus for her music career, left emotional vulnerable Craig for some guy she met over the summer. Do I really have to go on.

    Finally someone mentioned Imogen! Almost everyone I know loves her but apart from Fimogen she was bad. This girl stole Eli's medication and emotionally manipulated him, planted drugs in Clare's locker, impersonated Fiona to sabotage her job opportunity and kept pressuring Jack to come out the closet. Also her being held back was pointless and wasn't really interesting in that period.

    I haven’t seen anyone call him out yet so I will: Dave.
    I found him pretty unlikable due to the fact that he was SO desperate to be “popular” that he wouldn’t hesitate to throw his friends under the bus or cast them to the side if he felt that’s what he needed to do to be liked by the “right people.” I can appreciate that his character is realistic, in that there are people that think like him in high school. I still think he’s an annoying, disloyal loser and a bad friend.

    one of the things I absolutely love about degrassi that I feel helped with the world building was that no one was perfect. everyone was struggling with something everyone made mistakes, it made the characters feel like real people. I feel like it also allowed us to reflect on ourselves and the people around us- if we can't tolerate seeing those actions in a comfort show, then we def should not be tolerating it irl

    So, as a lesbian, I can tell you why Imogen said what she said when Dallas told them to make out. Dallas was objectifying women who love women by asking to make out for his gaze; not for their own expression of love/affection. WLW are often fetishized by straight men who think they can either change our minds or think lesbianism is only for their enjoyment. Imogen saying "Ew" was a reaction the blatant objectification of her and Fiona's sexualities. This is further echoed by Fiona also saying "Ew" for the same reason.

Liberty makes out with Damian (even though he’s with Emma), as she’s bawling and apologizing to Emma, she says “i understand if you’re furious”, to which Emma replies “I am… at Damian. But i’m not ready to throw away 6 years of friendship”. Girl, thank you. 🥲

Spinner cheated on Darcy with Paige and Darcy inadvertently cheated on him with Peter and the entire internet. Manny was Craig’s side piece while he was with Ashley and Ashley cheated on Jimmy with Sean, then cheated on Craig with somebody in England, so pretty much almost everyone had their fair share of cheating and being a side piece🤣🤣

    Esme-SEVERELY obsessed with getting attention and did ANYTHING to receive it, couldn't get over the fact that her boyfriend was still close to an ex (Maya), which made sense because they were friends LONG before they dated so that friendship wasn't going anywhere
    Imogen-Hated her in season 13-14 due to how thirsty she was for a story for Degrassi TV, and got carried away from time to time
    Johnny Dimarco-Basically what you said, a pos bully who barely showed any remorse for what his friend did, and had the audacity to bully Toby like NOTHING happened
    Darcy-It's good that she changed, but falsely accusing Simpson of sexual assault is something I could NEVER forgive her for

    Tristan: He was very wishy washy and always got mad at Maya when she tried to save him from his bad decisions. He had some likable moments and I felt really bad for him when he was in the coma.
    Holly J in the beginning for obvious reasons. She was always starting some mess so I didn't feel sorry for her when All started the "i hate holly j" group. However I did like her character development.
    Owen: Pig. Although he did get a little better while he was with Anya
    Mr Perino: Unhappy dude. I hated how he treated his students because he simply hated his life.
    Derek: His jealousy of Danny. Setting him up by planting women's undies in his bag with that racist manager breathing down his neck.
    Frankie: Nothing was ever her fault. She just didn't get it. Played the victim

    MY THOUGHTS:
    Emma. I didn't like her AT ALL. She was a horrible friend to Manny and was constantly starting shit. Plus she was rude for no reason.
    Imogen. I loved Imogen and Fiona together. Fiomgen is one of my favorite ships and overall I do quite like Imogen but she's far from a favorite. I did not like her when she first joined the show and everything with Eli or her getting with Adam.
    Johnny. UGH. I hated him so bad. ALSO HIS ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP WITH ALLI??? horrible. disgusting. i liked that he helped alli when she ran away but it doesn't make up for anything.
    Clare. I actually like Clare a lot. She was so dramatic but I lived for it. Definitely agree she wasn't the greatest friend though.
    Lola. I didn't like Lola either. She annoyed me so bad and all the reasons you gave were so real. Miles and Lola as a ship will never be loved by me.
    Jane. I didn't like her cheating on Spinner but overall I did like her outside of that.
    Jack. I didn't like her. She was boring to me.

That I think is worth having to deal with her other crap to have had that plot line. Also, they at least gave her karma for cheating on Spinner: losing him, regretting it, and having to see him soon after move on and have a wedding to another girl (even though Spemma is inferior to Semma, at least it delivered that karma).
