While teen dramas that deal with serious topics are more common these days than they once were Degrassi: The Next Generation<\/em> (2001-2015) – just one of several series in the franchise – was on, it wasn’t. And when StrippedPixel recently spoke with Jake Epstein (who played Craig Manning in seasons 2-8) about his latest Hallmark movie, The wedding contract<\/em>we had to get him to look back on his time on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time, you never know what kind of impact something you’re in is going to have. And when I did lose weight<\/em>, I mean, it felt really special and authentic. I loved the character I was playing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt wasn’t until years later that I realized that a lot of those stories meant a lot to a lot of people who may be going through similar things and felt comfortable in that. So yes, I feel very proud to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also pointed out that since he is Canadian and “lose weight<\/em> it’s a cornerstone of Canadian entertainment, I feel pretty proud to have been a part of it in some way.\u201d<\/p>\n

He saw and worked with his own lose weight<\/em> co-stars from the show and would be willing to do it again, including in a Hallmark movie. \u201cOh, 100 percent,\u201d he said immediately, and even had an argument: \u201cHe would be named High School Reunion<\/em>and it just would be lose weight<\/em> characters that appear.”<\/p>\n

Epstein would also be for them in various roles. \u201cEverybody would play against the guy. That would be great,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

It’s clear what time it is lose weight<\/em> meant to him. “It was my second high school. I probably spent more time on the set of Degrassi than I did at my current high school. So when I meet people, it’s a real high school reunion \u2014 more real than my real-life high school date,\u201d he said with a laugh.<\/p>\n
