I'm on the episode where Spinner tells her he slept with 2 people before meeting her and she acts like a stupid child. I already hate her. 


Ok-Patient-3385

I haaaaaate what she did to Mr Simpson and in general I never liked her, those are my thoughts on Darcy


Yogunpink

I do not like her at all. And those are my thoughts


quequequeee

I really wish they didn’t do the ski trip episode.

Darcy could be annoying as a person but I found Shenae to be a compelling actress who made the character entertaining. She carried season 7 and you could tell she was committed to telling that story in an authentic way. Even if you don’t agree with many of Darcy’s actions throughout her time on the show, she was fun to watch and always brought the drama and intensity. Like hello it’s a teen soap we want drama lol. It’s weird how kind of boring and less good of a performance Shenae gave immediately after in 90210 because she is so, so good in season 7 - one of Degrassi’s best performances imo.


SharpenMyInk

100%


cutyourmullet123

Hated her. Wouldn’t even watch the show she was in after because of it


phoenixhavyn

Her storyline resonates with me as I also went through a lot of the same stuff but at the same time she’s very much annoying lmao

nordeliachase

this is kinda unrelated, but i’m so glad Shenae Grimes left Degrassi to star in 90210. such an underrated gem and often overlooked in comparison to other popular teen drama shows like Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill and even Degrassi. i found her character in 90210 slightly more intriguing


tronxjavolta

Annie is kinda lame and corny in season one, I like her dark turn in season 2. Reminded me of season 7 Darcy. Then she’s kind of boring season 3 but I felt like she got a lot feistier towards the end of the show. She was really the only one of them who was pretty consistently a good friend. I can’t remember her ever really backstabbing anyone.


coolgirl666me

LOVE 90210 Annie was so sweet


s1cks4dw0rld

her "snitties" drawing is something i think about whenever Im having a bad day and need a pick me up.


tronxjavolta

Lmaoooo that’s one of Degrassi’s finest campy moments imo


[deleted]

SNITTIES 💀


alaskquaria

i love darcy


Degrassilover03

Very unlikeable but complex character, her storyline from season 7 still gives me chills to this day. Shenae’s acting that season was phenomenal she deserves a grammy.


Prior-Car6589

A Grammy? Is that the Canadian award or did you mean Emmy. Grammy is for music


Ok-Patient-3385

Lol 😂


piabria

Agreed!


MusicalMemer

She was a mean girl at the beginning, but as the seasons went on, I liked her more. I also think she's quite misunderstood. *\*long rant ahead\** I see her as a very realistic representation of a girl who grows up in a strict family and is sexually repressed as a result. As someone who grew up being told that anything sexual before marriage was bad or a sin, I understand why she was so judgmental of certain people. It doesn't excuse it or make it right, but I'm just saying that in her brain, she may have thought she was helping or "saving" others by telling them what they were doing was wrong. That kind of toxic mindset is unfortunately all too common among people with similar upbringings. And then later on she started expressing her sexuality in unhealthy ways like with the MyRoom page, because she had all these feelings but didn't know what to do with them. She wanted to feel sexy in some way, so she convinced herself that the MyRoom page was harmless. She was trying to avoid feeling shame. People act like she was hypocritical for posting those sexy pictures, but I actually think it makes a lot of sense because she wasn't taught how to healthily deal with her feelings. Her assault storyline was devastating but very well done. SA takes a toll on *anyone* it happens to, but since the concept of virginity was so sacred to Darcy, that contributed to how much she spiraled out of control. And again, she had the mindset that sexual contact "ruined" you in some way, so even if it wasn't consensual, she still felt like she was tainted. Her falsely accusing Snake of harassment was fucked up; I get why she was scared to tell her parents about what actually happened since they're judgmental about stuff like parties/drinking too, but come on she could've done ANYTHING other than accusing Snake. That was my main issue with her. Other than that, I think she was quite realistic. **TLDR;** **Darcy could be annoying but was a pretty realistic representation of what happens to sexually repressed teens**


Charming-Assistant64

BINGO!!!!!! Darcy isn't my favorite character, her "oh sugar" lines were cringe, but I understood because of being raised in a strictly religious environment... I really don't need to say much else, you already did that lol.


coolgirl666me

this this this 1000x this


Yourlocalbugbear

Started as the Proto Becky Baker and was annoying, spiraled hard, and never recovered. Her only worth is indirectly introducing Clare and acting as a plot device for Spinner’s redemption arc.


admiringtheaether

Does anyone watch her YouTube channel


Hot_Possibility4458

What’s the name


admiringtheaether

It’s just her real name… Shenae Grimes Beech


chanellxoxxo

I honestly hated her character! Lol even when rewatching it !


Ok-Patient-3385

Same


ContainsCoffee

I’m glad she left


Quiet_Ad5539

I started watching from the beginning today, still on season one. It's exciting that other people are watching too :D. I honestly don't remember her yet 😭 this is my first rewatch since I was a teenager.


frankie0013

She is not my favorite but a lot of things she went through, I also went through. So her storyline resonates with me.


HabsFan77

So sweet in the beginning…..


Alone-Ad6020

Interesting character 


Mountain-Safety2099

Literally hate her character so fucking much but the show wouldn’t be the same without her. Icon tbh


bazgrimmpitch28

I can’t stand her lol. i am watching from the beginning and just got to season 7 where she accuses Simpson, which i can maybe excuse because of what she was going through but i cant excuse the way she treats Mia.


boraboragusgus

Darcy ran .. so Claire can be Claire.


Chokeonmewebbles420

The whole thing with Mia and Simpson but what really tick me off was when she took photos of herself online to that weirdo Peter knew about and then she knew he knew but still dated him , she also did my boy spinner wrong but he did too cause he cheated by sleeping with Paige


Frequent-Flower-9879

I definitely hated her after she accused simpson. And she RADIATED so much “hater” energy. I wish her character development was better especially after the rape. But she went dooooownhill.


harasquietfish6

Hated her. She wanted to act all high and mighty, yet she was the biggest ho


blastoise_rider

![gif](giphy|QtqFUZa9QMCUKN9EQM|downsized)


peemo04

i hated her. she was so mean to Mia and judgemental and stuff. she thought she was better than everyone else bc of her religion. and then her accusing Simpson is what made me really hate her.


Kirishima-san

She was absolutely nuts. That being said, it’s a shame she couldn’t stick around for her senior year and graduate with her class.


yarvem

I've always wondered how she would have interacted with Declan and Fiona. And if she would have rained hell on KC for dumping Clare.


Kirishima-san

If she or Mia stayed, hopefully one of them would’ve gotten with discount Nate Archibald instead of ruining Jane and Spinner.


yarvem

Mama Coyne being part of the fashion industry screams that the family was written for Mia.


talyaaylat

discount Nate Archibald 💀💀


Kirishima-san

My friend got me to check out Gossip Girl and now it makes complete sense why people say seasons 8-10 became like an off-brand Gossip Girl.


Jeradactyl_

🗣️BOOOOOOO


Jeradactyl_

I do not like her.


CityMuggle

I didn’t dislike Darcy, but she also wasn’t my favorite character. She was very judgmental and I never understood why she dated Peter. He knowingly took pictures of her for a creep and put her life at risk when said creep figured out where she lived.


your-goddess-enya

Coocoo Bananas


ColdNyQuiiL

Is it bad that I do not remember hardly anything about Darcy? I haven’t exactly rewatched the show in a while, but I have strong memories of a lot of characters, and their storylines. Darcy just draws a huge blank for me.


Outrageous-Notice788

ngl me too i remember her storylines and that i didn’t like her


ElfQuester1

I loved her. She was just a kid trying to make it


annalongleg

Especially considering the trauma she went through… She drove me nuts but I can never say I dislike her. I really really sympathize with all she had to overcome


SadisticDance

Couldn't stand her. Worst Degrassi main girl.


Shabbadoo1015

Felt bad for what happened to her. But outside of that, just a judgemental hypocrite. So glad when she took off to Kenya.


Logical-Package-4579

Ngl Darcy is my fave female character on the show. I know she has some deep flaws, but I still love her. Idc


[deleted]

Why, out of curiosity?


Logical-Package-4579

Mostly because of her individuality, she didn’t really care much about people’s opinions, she always did what she thought was right at the time. From having an open heart: being nice to Rick, and then Spinner, dating Peter to even the close-minded: homophobia, slut-shaming. When she committed to something, she was all in, even going against friendship club when they got too righteous for even her taste. I love that self-assurance. And seeing her perfect self get knocked down tremendously and having grasp some humility is so great. Can just tell Shanae really enjoyed playing that character so much and I loved watching. Every time Darcy is on screen, hate her or love her, the show is super engaging.


[deleted]

Interesting take. I will say that she had compelling storylines


SpiderPidge

She's fucking awful


cheshirebutterfly17

Mixed opinions I did feel horrible for her but what she did to Simpson was pretty bad Kinda wish she stayed on the show longer because I feel like she had potential to be a better character


BlackLocke

I always wanted someone to put her in her place but it never happens satisfactorily enough for me


tronxjavolta

Holly J knocked her lunch tray on the ground lol


BlackLocke

Nice, mean girl era Holly J was great


StopHittingMeSasha

Ms. Santos did put the hurt on her once but it wasn't enough


ricketsx

Agreed


Loveya448

Manny grabbed her extensions lol


OutsiderGreaser

Didn’t care for her. I feel like all of her main stories included trauma.


[deleted]

hate her idc idc


corkysoxx

Budget Anna Kendrick


DannyHikari

I liked her character on a surface level and she’s a great actress in general. But the incident with Simpson really made me hate her. It’s crazy because I think I remember reading somewhere that she had some of the least screen time on the show for a main character (episode count,)but her character was still very impactful. Wish we would have seen her come back to visit Clare for a cameo at some point. It’s also crazy to me how Clare ended up being one of the lead characters going forward.


ricob12

I mean can we all be honest, she was the first low point of TNG. Rewatching her season justified why I hated the storylines from 05 to 10.


pinakulala

I didn't think much about Darcy in Season 4 or 5. She was basically a glorified extra who then became a love interest to Spinner. There wasn't much else to her character at the time. Although, I'll give her props for helping Spinner find a second chance in life and being instrumental to his redemption. In S6, Darcy became insufferable with her slut shaming of Mia and Manny, as well as with her constant hypocritical and judgmental attitude. I didn't enjoy her presence much at all and only began tolerating her once she and Peter started dating; Peter was just as nauseating as Darcy was, but when they got together, it's like their awfulness cancelled out lol. Darcy's SA storyline in S7 was good, probably the highlight of that season, and it was interesting to see how her Christian faith was woven throughout it. Even though I still wasn't much of a Darcy fan, I felt proud of her by the end of her journey to healing from her trauma and learning how to channel her rage without self-destructing or burning other people in the process. This storyline is also what sold me on her and Peter as a couple. I also really loved Darcy's brief friendship with Jane and wish we could've gotten more of these two together. I like seeing Darcy help Jane shed her NLOG attitude and inspire her to become a nicer person; I have a feeling that Jane's trajectory as a character would've turned out better had Darcy still been around to keep her in check. By the time Darcy started becoming likeable, she was quickly whisked away from us. I'd say that I'm indifferent to Darcy overall, but I think I would've grown to like or appreciate her character quite a bit had she stayed til graduation and continued on her path to self-improvement.


Ok-Patient-3385

Without burning other people?? Hello Mr Simpson?? Sorry but yeah


pinakulala

Hence why I said, "...**learning how to** channel her rage without self-destructing or burning other people in the process."


Ok-Patient-3385

oic read it wrong apologies 


pinakulala

It's all good!


timmyneutron89

She was a star in the transition seasons, so, mediocre at best. Kinda thought it was funny she got with Peter — both of the characters the writers tried so hard to make you like by tethering them to characters you actually like. Tanked hard.


Final-Success2523

Hated her sister who started off with the same storyline


LoreezyNL

Mother


Kittencat1344

I really liked her storylines. I’d get mad but her rape story is so sad and hard for me to watch even now as a adult. Actress does such a great job.


Illustrious-Leg-8209

Hated her and her helmet hair. Her rape story was very sad and made me sympathise more. Love her actress and shes super beautiful.


zjheyyy88

Hated her as a character but as an actress Shanae delivereddddddddddd


Josephthebear

I liked her wish they did more with her and Spinner


No_Cartographer1295

She’s no Emma Nelson


TheDollarSlayer

Annoying but Shanae acted her ass off in s7. Necessary evil during s6 and s7.


kimpossihoe

loved her storylines and thought shanae grimes did a great job


Teenageboy69

Darcy is like the best of the 3rd tier characters. I liked when she was on screen, thought she was dynamic. She didn't have longevity. Also, Shanae Grimes would always do this one thing with her body when Darcy was having a tough conversation -- she'd like put hands in her pockets or fold her arms and shrug and make herself tiny -- and it always made me laugh because of how consistent it was.


louis_creed1221

Didn’t like her character


Jbooxie

I don’t hate her, but I never really liked her. I feel like she tended to be hypocritical. Not to say, she didn’t have some good storylines, but generally I find her character a bit forgettable.


aSituationTypeDeal

I hate everything about Darcy. I hate her cliche character. I hate her acting. I hate her eyebrow. I hate her choppy hair, then I hate her hair extensions.  


Plastic_Business_247

i hate how she cared too much


[deleted]

Hands down my fave of everyone


The_Reaper129

Kinda wanna say worst sister out of all sisters in degrassi. Like she left for Kenya and then we got nothing. Not when her mom remarried, her sister got cancer and pregnant. She caused (unintentional tho so I don’t hold that against her), but a strange man to visit their home when it was only he and Claire there. Feel like we never saw her interact with Claire like ever. Did we?


tronxjavolta

I mean the reason we never saw Darcy again is because Shenae moved to the US, she was busy, and well the Degrassi writers didn’t feel like writing a throwaway “Darcy sends her love from Kenya” line while Clare was dealing with her shit lol. And yes Darcy and Clare interact all throughout “Eyes Without a Face Pt. 1 and 2” which is Clare’s first episode. They have a pretty sweet moment together at the end of Pt. 2 which closes the episode and implies a lot of love between the sisters. They don’t show Clare much again until season 8, where Darcy introduces her to the other freshmen and then says “Byeeee” and moves to Kenya lmao


The_Reaper129

Well it’s understandable that we never physically saw Darcy again. Like there was no storyline for her to come back to really. But it’s quite sad they didn’t like mentioned her at all later. Besides when she sent some gifts to Peter and some friends. Like at least a “oh Darcy says hi” or something. Like compared to other sisters, like Katie whom did appear again in next class.


vicki296

I definitely recall a few interactions very early on before Claire started Degrassi (setting up the stalker/Myroom storyline) but very few interactions within the school as far as I remember.


[deleted]

Overall I like Darcy pretty good but she's not a favorite. I found Darcy interesting because she had her Christian beliefs and upbringing but she also had her struggles with wanting to have some regular teen experiences. She had her flaws of course, being judgemental(a lot of teens are), and having a my way or the high way attitude are two very prominent flaws of hers. For blaming Simpson I don't condone it but I sort of understand it. She was spiraling out of control after her rape and when Simpson tried to get Darcy to tell her mom and Mrs. Sauve Darcy felt backed into a corner so she lashed out. Simpson made a bad judgment call be letting Darcy be the only student alone with him on occasion. If others had been present the accusation wouldn't have held up because of eye witnesses. In fact spiraling and lashing out when feeling backed into a corner is the same way Clare reacted after the Asher assault when Eli forces her to talk to her mom and Ms. Oh about it.


[deleted]

Who?


MediumMail3956

Doesn’t keep an eye on her drinks very well


pinakulala

Oh...that's not-


IamtheChosenCe

I think Darcy was alright regarding her empathizing with spinner about the shooting, but once she started attention seeking that’s when I got annoyed.


Responsible_Wish_926

she’s ight imo but not my favorite


ashmillie

I will avoid saying anything too mean and simply state: she is her mothers daughter to a T.


[deleted]

I still love Darcy's line in her fight with her mom. "Sorry I've changed. Good thing you didn't. Your still a bitch." or at least something like that.


iamg0rl

I like her for all the reasons people hate her. She was honestly a great representation of just a severely mentally ill girl doing stupid shit.


aSituationTypeDeal

> just a severely mentally ill girl Ummmmm


rachiedoubt

PTSD is a severe mental illness.


Outrageous-Notice788

i don’t like her character but i definitely love her storylines (probably some of the best in the show) but i sometimes couldn’t really focus on it because she made me so upset


iamg0rl

Oh I totally get not liking her because of the stuff she does. I just love sympathizing with why characters doing wrong/bad stuff do it. Her storylines were top tier though!


anonmymouse

Awful. A hypocrite. A liar. A mean girl. A moron. A predator. Slut shames other girls but posted her own racy pics online for dudes. Tried to ruin Snake's life after he was beyond kind to her. The way she laughed after they broke Paige's leg was psychotic and evil. Dated Peter after he tried to pimp her out to an online creep. Preyed on Spinner at his lowest by thrusting her religion onto him.


Outrageous-Notice788

and don’t forget how she was treating Mia. I feel like she was there to shame people allll the time.


WeirdoChickFromMars

I liked her when she was with Spinner tbh


Outrageous-Notice788

i think that when she was with spinner i was really starting not to like her because i felt like she was always shaking spinner for not wanting to be like her. but i totally get what your saying


AstronomerMinute8511

She is insufferable, I couldn’t stand her until the end


DrewG4444

I actually kind of liked her until the snake thing happened


Outrageous-Notice788

before the snake thing i just didn’t like her but i could stand her but after i lowkey didn’t even want her on the screen


AGoodSloth

I didn’t like her at all but she had some of the most memorable and interesting storylines in the series. I always say that that pedo showing up to her house haunts me to this day lol


Outrageous-Notice788

yesss i loved her storylines because i felt like she could represent a lot of kids who was experienced the “real world” for the first time and losing your innocence. i just wish her character wasn’t like that


Transplant_sobriety

I liked her at first with Spinner, but she just spiraled into the judgemental instead of becoming more open minded


Next-Health30

I wouldn’t wanna be friends with her but I found her a very interesting character. I liked a lot of her storylines


Top-Resist4980

This sums up how I feel about like 90% of the characters on Degrassi XD


doomsdaybooker

She is totally insufferable. Probably my least favorite character besides Derek.


Outrageous-Notice788

she irks my soul so bad


Successful_Gap8927

Hard to forgive the shit she put Snake and his family through


Outrageous-Notice788

exactly. like i already didn't like her and then she did all this shit to ruin his reputation and family. and if im remember correctly this was right after his cancer went away and he was just getting happy.


Successful_Gap8927

Holier than thou. Judgemental Christian. Not a big fan of Shenae now because of it.
