Duff Says No, DeGrassi Actress Takes Top Spot in 90210 Revamp
Her name is Shenae Grimes (pictured). She's quite the hottie, huh? She played Darcy on DeGrassi. Learn how to spell it because it seems she will be all over the place come September.
(She'll be married to Ben Lyons by the end of 2009, just a prediction.)
And, Lori Loughlin (Full House) will play her mom, a retired Olympic swimming champ, with Jessica Walter also taking a role according to the Hollywood Reporter articles on the show.
Grimes, 18, will play the lead character in the new series, Annie Mills.
Fans of "Degrassi" know Grimes for her portrayal of Darcy Edwards, who joined the series full-time in season five.
"Degrassi" is currently in its seventh year, which airs Monday nights on CTV.
It's been a tough season for Darcy, who was the victim of rape, spiralled into depression and attempted suicide.
Grimes won a Gemini last year for her performance on the show. In addition to her acting career, Grimes is currently an intern at Fashion Television in Toronto.
