1)As I mentioned in another thread, Emma's two parter on bulimia ... Degrassi J.H. covered it first with Kathleen Mead! The difference is that they actually showed Kathleen inducing the bulimia vs. Emma doing it behind closed doors and coming out wiping her mouth with a napkin! Also, in the DJH, they also show Kathleen with laxatives as another way of losing weight hardcore style!

2)Manny's pregnancy and subsequent abortion ... it's better equated to Erica Farrell on Degrassi High! As a summer camp counsellor Erica had "relations" with a guy counsellor ... but she got pregnant ... and contrary to what her twin sister and her church thought about abortion being wrong, she still went through with it!

3)Joey and Craig correlation ... the love triangle! If you recall in the "Holidays" two parter, after Craig loses both Ashley and Manny, Joey consoles Craig by talking about his two timing with Caitlin & "some girl named Tessa Campanelli" and how they both found out! This occured in the movie "School's Out"!

4)Emma & Caitlin ... Much like Old School Caitlin, Emma (the early season version) was the "social cause" girl, fighting for causes such as boycotting the caf, etc.! Similarily, Caitlin was a cause girl who fought for such causes as keeping Spike @ Degrassi despite Degrassi ordering her to leave ... or when she was soliciting signatures for a petition (or as Caitlin called it, "a letter of protest") to keep Ms. Avery @ Degrassi High!

Those are the only comparisons that come to mind ...
