Screen captures of Jake in The-N's Degrassi 101 have been added to the gallery. I also snapped a few of him in the promo of Degrassi Goes Hollywood: On the Set. The "on the sets" are a bit different than the streaming web ones; they run as a 30 second commercial. I'm predicting there will be more as The-N continues to promote the movie.

You can watch The 101s on ACESonline 2. All full weekend captures are uploaded.
Weekend 1
Weekend 2
Weekend 3
Also be sure to catch Degrassi Goes Hollywood: On the Set.

It's very odd not seeing Ashley mentioned that often. I miss seeing Melissa around for these specials. At least we got a lot of Jake & Melissa presenting these specials in the past. See them host "Crash Course," "Countdown to Degrassi," appear in Pat's behind the scenes video, and much more here.

I'm sure we've all had some getting used to this video now. Jake Epstein performs Rescue You. It's a catchy tune sure...but where is Ashley?

We are happy to announce that Jake Epstein from Degrassi: The Next Generation will take over for Kyle Riabko in the role of Melchoir on the national tour. While we are sad to see Kyle go, we wish him all the best in his exciting career. Kyle's last stop will be Philadelphia and Jake will officially kick off his run in Washington DC on July 7th.

We have exclusive video of Jake singing a song from Spring Awakening with our cast members while they were in Toronto. As many of you know, Jake was in the Toronto cast of "Dog Sees God" which our cast members saw early in their Toronto run. They decided to do a cabaret together. Here is Jake with fellow Dog Sees God members Alex Saslove and Paula Brancati (also from Degrassi) with our cast members Krystina Alabado, Sarah Hunt, Julie Benko. Anthony Lee Medina and Matt Shingledecker sing back up vocals! Enjoy this exclusive rendition of "The Dark I Know So Well:"
