Okay, let's talk Degrassi. Specifically, Manny Santos. Remember her? Fashion icon, drama queen, total sweetheart? Her love life was...a rollercoaster.
Manny's Romantic Ride: A Quick Recap
Manny wasn't exactly shy when it came to boys. She went through a lot of relationships, and each one was a learning experience. Think braces, baby bumps, and a whole lot of teenage angst.
Craig Manning: The Heartthrob
First up, we have Craig Manning. The tortured musician. Their relationship was super intense. It was filled with passion and drama. He was cute but so unreliable.
He struggled with bipolar disorder, and his own issues often came first. The relationship was a whirlwind. They went through a lot together, but ultimately couldn't make it work.
Jay Hogart: The Bad Boy
Then there's Jay Hogart. The ultimate bad boy. He was a total rebel. This was a surprising match. She went through a period of wanting to change her image, and he fit that phase.
He was bad news. Definitely not boyfriend material. Manny saw something in him though. This was a pretty scandalous relationship. It was short-lived but intense.
Peter Stone: The (Sort Of) Sweetheart
Next up is Peter Stone. He was a bit of a player at first. He seemed genuinely interested in Manny though. He had a lot of maturing to do during their relationship.
They had some sweet moments. It seemed like he was becoming a better person because of her. They were cute for a while.
So, Who Does Manny End Up With? The Big Question!
Here's the thing... Degrassi doesn't *really* tell us who Manny ends up with for good. The show jumps around. We see her move on and grow as a person. No neat, tied-up ending.
After Degrassi: The Next Generation, she appears in a few episodes of Degrassi: The Next Class. She's living in New York. She's pursuing her acting career. She's focused on herself.
Why It's So Great That We Don't Know For Sure
Honestly? It's kind of perfect. Manny's journey wasn't about finding "The One." It was about figuring out who she was.
Each relationship taught her something. She learned about love, loss, and the importance of staying true to herself. It reflects real life.
That's what makes Degrassi so addictive. It's messy, it's relatable, and it's never afraid to leave things open-ended. Plus, the fashion! The drama! It's all pure gold.
Check It Out!
If you've never seen Degrassi, seriously, where have you been? Start watching! You won't regret it. Especially if you love angsty teen dramas with a touch of Canadian charm.
And if you *have* seen it? Well, maybe it's time for a rewatch. Get ready to relive all the iconic moments. Get ready to yell at your TV during all the relationship drama. You know you want to!
So while we don't know who Manny ends up with for sure, we know she ends up awesome.
That's good enough for me.
