Drake’s Epic Degrassi Reunion: What Fans Are Saying About “I’m Upset”

Drake has once again captured the hearts of fans with his latest music video, “I’m Upset.” This time, he took a trip down memory lane, reuniting cast members from the iconic Canadian television series, Degrassi. Almost a decade after the show ended, seeing familiar faces like Spinner and Mia return to the actual Degrassi high school had fans buzzing with excitement. However, not everyone made the cut, leaving some viewers feeling nostalgic and a little disappointed.

In the video, fans were thrilled to see beloved characters like Spinner, played by Shane Kippel, and Mia, portrayed by Nina Dobrev. But the absence of other key characters had many questioning why certain stars were missing. One fan tweeted about the emotional impact of not seeing J.T., referencing his tragic storyline from Season 6, while others couldn’t help but wonder about Sean’s absence, played by Daniel Clark. What really went down behind the scenes?

After the video dropped on June 14, Daniel Clark revealed to Page Six that he was completely in the dark about the whole project. “No one ever reached out to me about this,” he confessed, expressing his surprise at not being included. He noted, “I woke up this morning and watched the music video and was like, ‘What the hell is going on?’” His sentiments reflect the feelings of many cast members and fans alike—everyone wanted to be part of such a special reunion.

• Character Absences: Many fans were disappointed by the absence of key characters like J.T. and Sean.
• Surprise Reactions: Cast members expressed their shock at not being contacted for the reunion.
• Fan Emotions: The video sparked a mix of nostalgia and longing for the show's original cast.

Mike Lobel, who played Jay, shared his thoughts on Twitter, saying, “Love my old crew, everyone looking good. Wish I coulda been there but I know oversights happen. Not really upset.” It's clear that while there may have been some hurt feelings, the love for the series and its cast remains strong. Ryan Cooley, famous for his role as J.T., humorously claimed he didn’t participate because he thought it was a scam when he saw the video announcement!

As fans continue to obsess over the nostalgic reunion, one can’t help but wonder if there might be a part two in the works, bringing back even more beloved characters from the Degrassi universe. For now, the “I’m Upset” video serves as a fun reminder of the impact the series had on its viewers and the strong connections formed among the cast.
