PREVIEW: Tonight's DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION

1 When The N issued a press release back in September about the new students on Season 8 of DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION, one stood out for me: Riley Stavros - Grade 12 (18-years-old): Riley seems to have it all -- he's attractive and he's the star football player. But behind his apparent charm, dry humor and self-confidence, there's a potentially angry young man who harbors a big secret. Riley feels he can beat this thing with the same kind of determination he has brought to his weight training and football playing. But when Riley meets Peter, he questions if he can he be friends with this guy or would it be wiser to back away altogether? On tonight's episode, "Man With Two Hearts," we find out more about Riley as he shares a kiss with Peter Stone (Jamie Johnston).
