Munro Chambers

With the special one-hour premiere airing TONIGHT on Teen Nick, Degrassi stars Annie Clark and Munro Chambers chatted about the juicy 11th season, telling us what toexpect!

On their Emmy Nomination: Annie Clark: It was my day to sleep in but as soon as I saw that email I was like, “I need to tell everyone!” It was pretty exciting!

Munro Chambers: I was sleeping and I got an email saying, “Guys, we’re nominated for an Emmy!” and I was like, “Okay?” I kind of just read it and went back to bed because I was like, “No, I have to be dreaming.” But then I woke up and read it again and everyone on Twitter was saying we are nominated. It’s pretty cool. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

What’s Happening this Season: MC: We’re just jumping it again—we’re tackling issues that people go through everyday. But I can say that in the first episode there’s going to be an unexpected murder that will really set the tone for the season! There’s going to be relationships made and relationships ending. You’re going to see a couple of characters leave. There’s going to be a triangle that will really make it awkward for some of the characters. You’ll want to watch it!

AC: This season, drama still ensues but Fiona is a little tamer than we last saw her in the past. She’s kind of going into the new school year a little bit more sophisticated and a little bit more clear-headed. She’s done with the drinking for now. You never know what’s going to happen though! She has a new love interest. Things don’t seem like they ever work out for her so this is actually someone who is pretty good for her. So we’ll see where that goes!

On Annie’s Character’s Relationships: AC: Yes, yes! She is! It’ll be her first real lesbian relationship because before, it was kind of the unrequited love with Holly J, which wasn’t really happening, and then Adam which was kind of a different relationship too. It’s her first normal relationship with someone who wants the same thing that she does.

On the Clare/Eli/Jake Love Triangle: MC: That may only be the acute love triangle that I was talking about. Jake’s going to get into stuff for better or worse. Eli and Clare are going to be working together, maybe not in a romance setting, but they will be in each other’s lives whether they like it or not and Jake gets in the middle of it. Jake’s a strapping young lad. He’s played by Justin Kelly—who’s actually my best friend outside of the show. We worked together on the show called The Latest Buzz. He’s a fantastic actor. He’s going to do great this season but his character gets in the middle of stuff. Also, it’s a triangle but it becomes a quartet too—like a square.

On Munro’s Relationship Status: I’m currently in love with my work. I’m dating her.
