Degrassi: The Boiling Point by: Nikky Raney

For the past month Teen Nick has been showing the two promos for Degrassi: The Boiling Point during every commercial break.

Tonight, July 19 at 9 pm will be the start of season 10's six week marathon. For six weeks straight every weekday at 9 there will be a new Degrassi. Since last Friday Teen Nick has not aired any show except for Degrassi, because for the past month Degrassi has had its Every Degrassi Ever Marathon. Ever since yesterday at 9 pm there has been a countdown as to how many hours until The Boiling Point kicks off with the two hour movie Degrassi Takes Manhattan.

The promo says that this season will be the most "shocking" season Degrassi has ever had. That's hard to believe since the past seasons have covered school shootings, abortions, molestation, teen pregnancy, and many other controversial topics.

Degrassi also has a brand new cast which makes the die hard Degrassi fans less interested. The Degrassi characters that were watched for 9 other seasons are now graduated from Degrassi, and moving on with their lives. We first watched the cast in middle school, and now there are only a handful from the original season that still occasionally appear.

The promo does make the fans glued to the tv screen. The promo features clips of a brother and sister kissing, a girl waking up in her best friend's wedding dress, a boyfriend punching the previously mentioned brother and other shocking moments.

Degrassi is known for how real it is, and always does a good job of portraying events in the way they would occur in real life scenarios.

Degrassi Nation has been the fan's source for the Degrassi insight and [potential] spoilers. Out of the predictions posted about the upcoming season Degrassi Nation confirmed that at least one of the predictions is true.
