** Maureen [=McKay=], who played Michelle, recalled at Degrassi Palooza that when she and others were constantly laughing and fumbling a relatively serious scene, the key grip shouted something on the lines of: "Can't you just fucking do this?".

** Amanda Stepto was not fond of ''School's Out'', not just because she felt it was a bad send-off, but that Spike was barely in it, and Liz wasn't even in it at all.[[note]]In the ''I'm In Love With A Girl Named Spike'' podcast, Amanda scoffs at the movie the minute it is brought up, and talks about how she was living on her own with little income and unable to pay her rent during the movie's production and how she begged to be at least in the movie's party scenes but was denied. She would joke that she'd only attend screenings of the movie if it wasn't the only thing that was being shown.[[/note]]

* CreatorBacklash: Naturally, a lot of the cast members, especially the prominent ones like Pat Mastroianni was quoted in (Joey), Stacie Mistysyn (Caitlin) and Amanda Stepto (Spike), were typecast after the show, with the former two going on record as trying to distance themselves from the show in it's wake before later embracing it. In his ''Degrassi Talks...On Depression'' book as initially becoming distant Talks'' book, Pat was said to have casually sipped the last of his co-stars after shooting ended, as he champagne at the wrap party and left in his car without much fanfare.

* ExecutiveMeddling: When the two-part premiere ''A New Start'' aired in the United States, PBS edited out the final scene of Erica and Heather pushing through pro-life picketers to enter an abortion clinic, claiming that the choice was for aesthetic purposes and felt it was more powerful to end before that. It angered Kit Hood so much that he requested his name be taken off the credits on the PBS broadcast.
