We Have All the 'Degrassi' Tea — Here's Where the Cast Ended up After the Show Ended

Nothing kept us on the edge of our seats more than the twists and turns of teenage soap Degrassi . It became so easy to get sucked into all the drama, messy spats, and far too relatable young adult occurrences.

Following Degrassi became difficult sometimes as the cast seemed to rotate fairly frequently. Keeping up with the actors after the show proves to be even harder since there are just so many of them. So, we did the hard work for you.

Drake — Jimmy Brooks

Some of the actors on the show blew up more than others. Not all fans know that Drake played Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi since now he's known more as a rapper. In fact, he's embroiled in a difficult feud with Kendrick Lamar .

Nina Dobrev — Mia Jones

Nina Dobrev , who joined the cast in Season 6, went on to have a very successful acting career. After all, she did become the star of Vampire Diaries and made appearances in movies like The Perks of Being a Wallflower .

Shenae Grimes — Darcy Edwards
