According to the official site and ctv.ca, "U Got the Look" will air on October 1 on CTV. Then on Friday, October 3, "Father Figure" will air on The N.
Manny's riding high on her newfound popularity, causing friction with best friend, Emma. Joey's thrilled when Craig and the guys form a band.What the Executive Producer Stephen Stohn said on the boards of degrassi.tv (08/08/2003):
"Linda and I just came back from the mix playback for 303 (U Got The look). It is a great episode, there are some very funny scenes in it (just remember one word: "thong") but also many will feel emotional at the end... and the music is GREAT--some songwriters in LA who write songs for major pop stars have contributed to this episode. In some ways this could be the best Degrassi episode of all time!! But having said that, Father Figure (301/302) is so good too, and I think Pride 1 (304) and Pride 2 (305) are coming along REALLY well (I defy anyone not to cry at the end of Pride 2!!!)"

Degrassi: The Next Generation, CTV, ET/PT 8:30 pm.
Dine with the Degrassi gang, or at least one of them. Cassie Steele, Manuella Manny Santos on CTV's next-generation take on "Degrassi," is the featured Celebrity Chef in the August 23 print edition of TV GUIDE (on newsstands, Monday, August 18). I feel like [the show] is a reincarnation of the first one, Steele says. Steele loves playing the Grade 9 student because the character has a great personality. Apart from her passion for acting, the renaissance girl enjoys dancing, practising kung-fu (when filming allows) and singing. When it comes to cooking, Steele helps out in the kitchen, but says her dad is the real chef.Celebrity Chef
