Riley Stavros
Riley's still the Alpha male and top jock at Degrassi-- though he'll find that position challenged this year by a new rival. As he continues his struggle out of the closet, he'll find that the more people he confides in about his sexuality, the more comfortable he feels. While not sure he's ready to come out fully, he is interested in exploring what it means to be gay, both in how he conducts himself and how he presents himself. If that's not enough pressure on a young man, he's also worried about graduating, sports, friends, and scholarships.






In its 31st year of making groundbreaking television for teens, Degrassi is giving fans even more to be excited about with four brand new episodes every week during the summer, Degrassi continues to push boundaries and make historic television for young teens. With its first ever Emmy nomination, Degrassi's game-changing television continues to bring to light the issues that affect teens today. In season 11 new friendships are formed, old relationships are tested and rivalry among students reaches new levels.
