To win a copy of Linda Schuyler's book, email allinaday@cbc.ca explaining which Degrassi kid you most related to and why... (any generation, of course..)

Loved this interview!
Alan Neal asked a question that was at the top of my mind after reading The Mother of All Degrassi — did Lucy’s car crash have any inspiration from Linda’s real life?
Linda said “Yes! If there’s one character I relate to the most it’s Lucy Fernandez.” twitter.com/alannealottawa…

Has anyone else ever been on hold with a certain banking institution while somewhat ominous 1990s instrumental music plays? Where it feels like you're waiting for Madeline Stowe to discover Bill Pullman's body beside a fax machine?
