What happened to Dwayne?


He was a major character in the last episodes of the show, but in Schools Out he is nowhere to seen? I wish I knew what happened with Dwayne.

reply

He was on the deleted scenes of the series premiere of the next generation. He was alive and kicking and in good spirits.

Well, he got AIDS in the series. So, I just assumed that he had died.

School's Out was a movie that featured more of the good looking members of the series, since it was a major thing in the Degrassi franchise. If there was ever a mainstream Degrassi outing, this was it (check the numbers to see how well it did in ratings). As such, people like Dwayne couldn't be on it.

What's interesting is that all that side, the guy who played him is actually one of the more successful actors from the series nowadays. Go figure.

He was in deleted scenes from the first episode of DTNG. They were filming a video of all the people who were at the reunion. He stated that he was still HIV+ and felt good.

REALLY? is this on the dvd!?!?!?

im a fanatic and i was unaware of this! please tell me how you know this!!!

reply

It's on season 1 of Degrassi the next generation. I bought season 1 and really enjoyed the deleted scenes of the series premiere. BUt unfortunately, I hated the next generation and couldn't watch the whole season and gave up on that series altogether.

reply

I love Degrassi:TNG because that show was (I'm using was because it used to be interesting back when I was in middle school and high school during The Emma Nelson Years) the best of my generation (Generation Y) and Anyone that wants to watch the show, I recommend watching Seasons 1-8 and avoid seasons 9 and onwards.

I think he dropped out, probably 'cuz he was depressed about being HIV-positive and having a hard time focusing w/ his studies.

For anyone who wants to know what happened to Dwayne and well.. anyone. The deleted scene from the launch of The Next Generation is on youtube (search deleted scene, how did they turn out?) or you can read here:

As of 2001:

Dwayne is still HIV+ but feeling good and is still AIDS free. He also makes a point of pointing out to the person video taping where he used to beat up Joey (possibly Joey making the video)

Alexa and Simon are still married and she was pregnant with their 3rd child. She is a housewife.

Yick and Arthur started a web design company of some kind together.

Caitlyn had a TV series called Ryan's Planet and was engaged, this engagement was broke off soon and she got back with Joey for a while and they even got reengaged.. she stayed on TNG for a few seasons working for a local news station before relaunching Ryan's Planet in LA, this also marked, once again, the end of her relationship with Joey. She came back to the show a couple years later to sleep with the boyfriend of a girl who co oped in her news office and then wasn't seen again.

Joey got married and has a step son and a daughter. He owns a used car dealership and his wife has since died. He got back together with Caitlyn for a while and she asked him to get married. He said yes before they split up again when she moved to LA.

Tessa is only mentioned once in a context that would suggest she's still in touch with the others, when Caitlyn is planning the wedding to Joey that never takes place. She is on the phone with someone and says "I think you know what you can do with Tessa Campenelli's address".

Allison Hunter (the girl Snake saves from drowning) is a waitress who also did a diaper commercial (she wants to be an actress), who happens to kiss Caitlyn's fiancé at the 10 year reunion leading to their split up.

Kathleen is working on TV show pitch called "Mead in Canada" and she had been in Montreal recently.

Diana is married and is an accountant or soon to be when she's done school. She has 2 children.

Spike bought her mom's salon. Married Snake and had a son, Jack with him.

Snake married Spike and had a son with her. He was a Media teacher at Degrassi before taking over as principal.

Liz says she works with the mentally disabled. She also delivered Spike's son Jack.

Trish became an addict but is clean and sober now. She works in a funeral home and does freelance writing.

Lucy recovers well from the accident. She walks with a cane. She has an unknown business which leads her to move to New Mexico.

The twins release no information about what they do now but they did attend Spike's baby shower.

Theres a few others covered in the deleted scene but I really don't remember them being principle characters so I didn't discuss them here.

reply

what became of L.D.? did their boat sink or get taken over by Somoli pirates

reply

The actress that played Diana was soooo awkward in her delivery. I wonder if she stopped acting And this little blurb was the first thing she’d done in awhile.

reply

Watched the deleted scene. Where is the part you mentioned about Lucy?
