6/1/2006 - Season 6 News; Race, Sean Confirmed?

Earlier today we received news from a fan who lives in Toronto who claims to have seen Degrassi being filmed on the street near them today. We are being told that it is some sort of drag race scene being filmed. Confirmed seen by the fan on set were Emma, Manny, Jay, Alex, Peter, and Sean. The fan also said there were a lot of cars on set. While this news is unofficial, this scene was later confirmed by Executive Producer Stephen Stohn in a post on Degrassi.tv. From the similar descriptions that Mr. Stohn gives of the scene, the fan's claims seem to be legit. In his post he also mentions Monday we will be hearing lots of news. Monday of course is June 5th, the day we expect to get CTV's press release on Season 6. Here is Mr. Stohn's post below post below:

"wow, I just came back from the lcoation where we are shooting today--we are closing off a street in Toronto and have a whole bunch of really cool looking cars--the shooting is going to go VERY late into the night--it's not as warm as it has been recently, so Miriam had these big baggy clothes she put on when she was on break, she joked that she was imppersonating the Michelin Man! It was nice seeing Deanna--I've seen the other actors over the past week or so, but she wasn't at the read-through so this was the first time we'd seen each other in a while. Mike Lobel and Jamie and a returning character were there too!

Can't wait till Monday, lots will be announced (although as it turns out some of the things we were hoping to announce won't be ready to be announced yet, but will be soon--but don't worry, there'll be lots of news).

Oh, and they will also announce the broadcast schedule for Season 2 of Instant Star in Canada!"
