Aislinn Paul as Clare Edwards
Musical theatre and ballet dancer Aislinn Paul is perfectly suited as the smart and sophisticated Clare.
Before joining Degrassi, Aislinn played Jamie Johnston's pre-teen sister, Hannah, in the television series Zoey Busiek: Wildcard. Aislinn also landed the part of Beth Ellen in the Disney remake of the Nickelodeon classic Harriet the Spy . Aislinn traveled to Ecuador with the Degrassi cast and the organization "Free The Children" in 2008. A documentary of Aislinn and her cast mates' trip aired on MTV in Canada. Aislinn traveled again in 2010 to build a school in India and a second documentary aired on MuchMusic. On a day off, Aislinn can be found practicing gymnastics, ice skating or enjoying a dip in the pool.
Clare Edwards
This year, Clare feels ready to focus - on Clare. Last year taught her that she has to look out for herself - and that it's OK if the person she's becoming doesn't jibe with everyone else's ideas of Clare Edwards. In fact, she's going to find out who that person is, and it might mean she steps into a whole new world - one that's far away from former problems like KC and Jenna - and notably, from her former best friend Alli.
