Degrassi: School's Out - What if Joey married Caitlin? (Patreon)
Content
What's your favourite part of the Degrassi: School's Out movie? Is it:
- Joey, Wheels and Snake spending all summer together working on a car?
- Simon and Alexa getting married at the end of the film?
- Or that infamous moment when Caitlin Ryan says:
Well, what if I told you all of these moments almost never happened at all?
I had the opportunity to sit down & read the original outline for Degrassi's summer finale movie School's Out (1992). While the title stayed the same the story inside is almost completely different.
- Instead of Simon and Alexa's wedding at the end of the film, it's Joey who ends up tying the knot.
- One of our beloved main characters ends up dead.
- And maybe, just maybe, it's actually Caitlin who spends the entire summer cheating on Joey?
Above: an excerpt about Joey's summer plans from the original outline (1990).
For our final podcast of the year, we'll be breaking down the original Degrassi: School's Out Script. What are the biggest changes to the story? What stays the same? And how does the original script change the future of Degrassi? Could Craig ever be Joey's step-son? Would Snake ever really come back?
It's going to be a wild episode, but first, let's hear your ideas!
