Character HistoryEdit

Season 10Edit

In I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself (1), Adam is first seen as one of the contestants who are trying to win backstage passes to the Dead Hand concert by keeping one hand on a red truck. He is a new sophomore at Degrassi. Being the only two left with their hands on the red truck, Adam and Eli come to the agreement that they can split the tickets, each getting two instead of four. This sparks a friendship between the them. After they get the tickets, Sav asks them both to help unload the truck, but Adam isn't able to hold a stereo system and drops it, busting the truck's tail light. Adam, looking afraid, looks at the tail light in horror. Later in the episode, Eli fixes the tail light, and Sav is grateful. Sav says, "I can't believe you got it in there!" with Adam responding, "Hah, that's what my ex-girlfriend said." Eli then tells him that that is gross. Sav tries to see if the tail light works, and as it turns on Adam yells, "Booyah!" with Eli asking, "Who are you?" Adam looks down, sheepishly. Adam and Eli then tell Sav they need a ride to the concert, and they should take Sav's dad's truck. Sav tells them that he will try and convince his dad. Now at The Dot, Adam and Eli are told by Sav that his dad said no, but that he will take the car to the concert anyway.

In I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself (2), Sav, Eli, and Adam gather near the J.T. Yorke Memorial to find ideas on how to keep Sav's parents busy while they're at the concert. He offers them two Bollywood show tickets as an apology. His mother tells his father that Sav is being "sincere," and that he's honestly sorry and she does trust him. At first his father feels he is up to something, but accepts the tickets. When Sav goes out to pick up Eli and Adam, he seems unsure about going to the concert, thinking about what his mother said about how she really "trusts"

him. Both Adam and Eli admit that they'd never take a chance to steal their parents car to go to a concert. They are about to leave until they hear the band is going to do an encore. After the encore, Sav rushes to the car, bringing Bianca because she is too drunk to drive. While driving home, Eli mentions they won't be able to make it on time. At first, Sav says he's not going to speed, but does anyway since he only has twelve minutes. When the police start following him, and say that the car had been stolen. Sav returns home and gets a lecture from his father. The next day at school, Adam and Eli go up to him and Sav apologizes for ruining their night. Adam insists that they should all play music one day, and tells Sav that he should tell his dad that he just has an emergency student council meeting. Sav remarks that he should just stick with being truthful instead of sneaking around, and Eli and Adam agree. In the last scene, Adam admits Sav is his hero.

In Try Honesty (1), it seems Adam becomes a victim of Fitz's bullying after Eli confronts Fitz in the parking lot for breaking a skull piece off of the hood of his car. The reason why Adam becomes a target is because he stands by Eli's side and sticks up for his friend. Fitz asks, "What the hell are you looking at?" to which Adam responds, "I'm trying to figure that out." Later after class is over in school, Fitz is picking on Adam once again. He shoves Adam against a locker, and nearly punches him in the face after Adam remarks to him that he stinks. However, Eli defends Adam and stops Fitz from punching him. Later in the episode, Adam is confused

when Eli tells him he was hit with a low blow by Fitz, making Eli confused when he doesn't understand the reference. As a quick save, Adam says, "Aw man...I hate it when that happens...hurts so bad." Eli looks confused, but keeps talking. He helps Eli pick out photographs of high profile criminals from an "FBI Most Wanted" database in order to forge Fitz a fake ID as a 'peace treaty,' so as to give Fitz the identity of a criminal. Eli comments on Adam's uncanny ability to compare the facial features of the criminals with those of Fitz, saying that he is really good at it, to which Adam nervously refutes, "No, I'm not." It is possible that this makes Adam uncomfortable because a distinct female attribute is good facial recognition skills, and he doesn't want his cover to be blown, as he is a female to male transgender.

In You Don't Know My Name (2), Adam is seen tutoring his stepbrother, Drew, and giving him girl advice. At first Adam is giving him essay advice, and in the end he is giving him advice on getting Alli. Adam helps Drew untie his football shoes, and in order to help his brother, he tells Alli to go meet Jenna in the photo booth, but it's really Drew inside.

In My Body Is A Cage (1), The main plot centers around him trying to navigate school life while not outing himself. He tells Eli that he thinks Bianca DeSousa is hot, to which Eli comments, "Sure, in a scary SUV-hit-and-run-club-district kind of way." Adam tries to flirt with Bianca, which is interrupted when he suddenly rushes off to his locker to grab tampons, because he notices his period coming on. While trying to discreetly carry them off, he bumps into Clare and drops his tampons. To avoid suspicion from Owen and Fitz who

walked by, he

hands (faking being disgusted) them to Clare, who pretends they are hers. Later when confronting Clare and Eli (who Clare told about the incident) about what happened, he tells them the truth about how he is a FTM (Female-To-Male) transgender person and they take it normally, and this news does not seem to affect their friendship in any way. Adam tries to flirt with Bianca a second time, which seems to work out well, until she makes physical contact with his chest. Bianca chases Adam and rips open his shirt to reveal a medical bandage around his chest, thus forcefully outing him to her. When Adam tries to use the men's restroom, Fitz and Owen follow him in and harass him, which ends with Adam being thrown against a glass door. When Drew sees what happened to Adam, he gets upset and tries to fight Fitz. Fitz beats up Drew, while Owen held Adam back. Adam is last seen asking if Drew is OK.

In My Body Is A Cage (2), starts with Drew, Adam, and Mrs. Torres sitting in the principal's office with Mr. Simpson, after the events of the last episode. Mrs. Torres demands that Adam be transferred to another school and rants on about how transgender students in high school get death threats and are assaulted. Mr. Simpson informs them that Fitz and Owen had been suspended, Adam would be forced to walk to class with a teacher, and Adam would need to use the handicap bathroom. Adam is being walked down the hall by a teacher and being gawked at. The teacher allows him to sit down with Clare and Eli, who seem to not have a problem with Adam being transgender. Adam informs Clare and Eli that his family has never really accepted him, and that he's going to have to change back to "Gracie" during his grandmother's visit. Adam arrives at remedial gym, where Bianca, the one who outed Adam, is telling about how she accidentally touched Adam's breasts to listeners. Adam approaches Bianca and asks her if she'll still be his dance partner. Bianca denies being a lesbian, and Adam says neither is he and that they both need partners,

to which Bianca says that Adam needs therapy and threatens Adam, walking away. The gym teacher approaches Adam and asks him who his partner is. Adam lies and says that his ankle hurts and the teacher lets him sit out. Adam is then seen with his mother shopping. He picks out a plaid guys' shirt and asks if he can wear that to dinner, Mrs. Torres shakes her head and picks out a white girls' shirt. Adam says that he's thought about "introducing Adam to Grams." Mrs. Torres responds that if that's the case, Adam shouldn't come to dinner. Mrs. Torres admits that she's scared Adam will start hurting himself again and Adam denies doing it in a long time. At dinner, Grams, Mrs. Torres, Mr. Torres, and Drew are all looking at the menu. Grams asks where "Gracie" is and Mrs. Torres lies and says that "Gracie" had other appointments. Adam suddenly appears, dressed as "Gracie." Everyone, aside from the unknowing Grams, is shocked. Grams shows everybody pictures of young Drew and a young Adam as Gracie. "Gracie" announces that she has something to say, but Mrs. Torres begs "Gracie" not to say anything. Grams gives "Gracie" a questioning look and "Gracie" says that she's taking ballroom dancing class. Adam is sitting alone in his room, looking at his arm, which is covered in burn marks. Drew knocks on the door and asks to be let in.

Adam ignores him and unwraps the bandages he used to hide his breasts. As Gracie, Adam appears at remedial gym class and Bianca makes a snide comment. The teacher sends her to the principal's office. After class, "Gracie" is sitting outside, lighting a hair clip with a lighter and burning himself when Clare walks by and sees what "Gracie" is doing. "Gracie" quickly throws the clip on the table and presses her hand against her newly acquired burn mark. "Gracie" says that if she's Gracie, everything's easier. Clare comforts her and says that she doesn't have to be Gracie if it doesn't make her happy. "Gracie"

says that it makes everyone else happier, so she has to change. Clare tells "Gracie" that she doesn't need to change, everyone else does. Clare escorts Gracie, now deciding to go back to Adam, back inside. Adam, dressed as a guy, gets into his mother's car and asks what she sees: a boy or a man. Mrs. Torres admits that she sees him as a girl. Adam begs for his mother to see him as her son, not her daughter. Adam is lighting a bonfire with Eli and Clare when Drew, along with Mrs. and Mr. Torres, appear. Drew is carrying Gracie's clothes and they burn the shirt and pants. Mrs. Torres hands Adam a picture of a young Gracie holding a book, and Adam is reluctant to burn it, saying that it's still him.

In Still Fighting It (1), Clare is seen confiding in Adam that she likes Eli, and she suspects he feels the same about her, but they need to take the next step. Adam tells her he feels the same way. Eli interrupts them, with the play they are going to film, Romeo & Juliet. Adam is then seen walking in a park-like setting with Eli and Clare. Clare says she'll play Juliet, and asks Eli and Adam who'll play Romeo. Eli is quick to step up to the role, while Adam rolls his eyes, Eli then makes an excuse to cover up his need to play Romeo, to which Adam responds "Yeah, what are you not the expert on?" The would-be couple sit on the bench, discussing the play, while Adam sets up the video equipment. Eli and Clare have having a moment, when they agree a kiss could work for their video project, which Adam interrupts,with the line "Thats cute." After the kiss Eli and Clare share, Adam can be seen rolling his eyes, definitely feeling like a 'third wheel'. The next day in English, Clare is beaming, and happily tells Adam that she believes that her and Eli took that 'next step' they needed. When Eli begins giving Clare the cold shoulder, Adam asks Clare what she did, and even sniffs her. They both look at Eli, confused.

In Still Fighting It (2), Clare is seen talking to Adam how it is unacceptable that he missed there presentation day for there film project, even though he's been giving her the cold shoulder. Clare then asks to get Adam to investigate for her, which Adam complains about going from third wheel to go-between, although, he does give in. Adam is seen later, against lockers with Eli, reading comic books. Adam leads to conversation into Clare, asking the reasons for Eli distance. Adam tells him he should tell her about "you know." Eli counters, saying, "She doesn't need to know." Adam, over exaggerating, mentions "she's dying" which gets a cold look from Eli in return, and quickly rewords it to "hurting really bad." Eli mentions some feelings for Clare, and how its better this way for her, Adam tries to convince him otherwise, but Eli seems to be done with the topic, and tells him to read his comic book. Later, Clare is talking to Adam by his locker, saying after the project, she can try and move on. Adam tries to convince her to give Eli time, knowing Eli's true feelings. This intrigues Clare, figuring out Adam did some investigating after all. Adam doesn't tell her much, so Clare asks him for Eli's address, Adam refuses at first, until Clare takes his Goon comic hostage, and Adam caves. Adam is then seen with Clare and Eli when showing there real film project to Ms. Dawes . He interrupts the conversation, noticing there speaking again, but, as soon as things get personal between Eli and Clare, and awkward for Adam, he exits the room.

In Purple Pills (1), Adam makes plans with Eli at The Dot, to hangout after school.

Fitz also says it's a free country and Adam can do whatever he wants. They eat lunch and have a friendly conversation, and when Eli confronts Adam, Adam basically makes fun of Eli and makes him leave pissed off. At The Dot after school, Eli confronts Adam about him hanging out with the bully, Fitz. Adam tells him he's tired of being pitied and being the third wheel. He makes Eli feel bad and give up to say that he pitied him. Adam ignores Eli and Clare and continues to hang with Fitz.

Adam is there when Clare, quite nervously tries to hint to Eli about there now-changed plans. Adam, decides to help Clare out and spills to Eli that Clare is attending Vegas Night with Fitz. When Clare flips out, he only replies with "Its better to rip the bandage off" and then leaves Eli and Clare to sort it out.

Adam tells Drew this, although he doesn't seem to want to take no for an answer. Adam sees Fiona waiting for her cab, and sits to talk to her.

Adam comments maybe he should aim lowers, but Adam decides that he can help Drew, after all the help Drew has given him. Adam catches Fiona after school, dubbing her with the nickname, 'Princess Fiona' which Fiona isn't taken too. Adam tells Fiona about Drew, how great he is, being the brother-turned-wingman. Fiona seems to be oblivious to why Drew is so keen on her, when Adam tells her they both think she's great. Fiona figures if Drew is Adam's brother, he can't be too bad. Fiona informs him that she isn't looking for anything serious or physical, and to pass it onto Drew. She leaves Adam thinking.

Drew asks Adam if he's jealous and he tells Drew that she doesn't want anything physical. Drew replies with "So?" and Adam says, "So maybe I should go out with her." They begin an argument about why Fiona wouldn't date him, and Drew claims it's because she wouldn't want someone who isn't physically a guy. Adam grabs his backpack and storms off leaving Drew in the gym. Fiona later follows Adam out of the school and tells him that they snuck some from the food drive.

Drew is next seen talking with Fiona at The Dot and she asks him, "What is your brother's malfunction?" Drew seems like he's going to tell her, but then stops and tells her Adam's the best brother. Fiona thinks it's strange that the big secret is he's super nice, but agrees that Adam's not like most guys.

To make Adam feel better, Fiona says that she likes how Adam is the "best of both worlds" because he's "boyish and girlish".

Adam asks Drew to play video games, considering they were both in for the night but Drew decids to go out anyways, while not listening to Adam, saying he could get more grounded than he all ready was. Later on, Drew has a big problem! Vince, the gang guy, gives him a gun and promises not to shoot him if Drew will work for him. Drew comes home, thinking on what to do with the gun. At the same time, Adam is playing a shooting video game. The sounds of shooting from the game freak Drew out, so he asks Adam to turn it off, but Adam refuses.

In LoveGame, as the first day of school after the vacation starts, Dave catches up to Adam askingabout Drew's whereabouts. Adam says he's trying to lay low after he told the police he killed Anson and that their mom freakd out and got a lawyer. Dave just nods his head saying he can't believe Drew killed someone. But Adam hurriedly tells him it was self defence and that Drew would never kill a guy in his life, trying to save Drew's reputation. Later on, Adam enters first period classroom with Clare. The two go to the teacher's desk to collect their binders; Adam takes one for him and hands one to Clare, but she is lost in thought and the binder falls to the ground. They both bend over to pick it up; Adam asks Clare what's wrong with her, and she starts rambling about Eli. She tries to get Adam to tell her what's the matter with Eli and wether they will be at "Above The Dot" that night. All Adam tells her is that he thinks they will be there...possibly. That evening Adam hangs out at "Above The Dot" playing Billiards with Eli. Jake joins the two after Clare introduces him to Eli. Adam later looks on in concern when Clare screams at Eli at Above The Dot.

In Cry Me A River (1) Adam and Dave both try to be selected for Degrassi's radio show. Adam and Dave arrive at the same time at Degrassi's recording room to find Sav, who is supposed to choose one of them for "Degrassi Radio". Sav tells them they will have to go on air together and let the students decide who wins the gig. Later on we see Adam and Dave as they are getting ready to go on air for the final decision. Sav asks the two if they are ready, and Adam responds saying, "I was born ready". Dave comments Adam's saying by referring to him being transgender (which earlier we saw he has a problem with). This leads to Adam and Dave both joking with each other, and they fail to notice the whole school can hear them. They finish joking and are ready to broadcast, but Sav announces they both got the gig and will be having a show together. Adam and Dave walk out happily, Dave saying he is glad to be working with Adam. Dave enters the boys' restroom telling Adam he will be out shortly. Adam debates going in as well, and enters the restroom, where Dave is using the urinal. Adam, unsure of himself decides to wash his hands when he sees Dave's hesitation. They start talking about their next broadcast when Adam stares at Dave peeing to try and copy his stance. Dave gets frightened and hurries out of the room, while Adam tries to apologies. Later that day Adam and Eli are sitting in the MI lab waiting for Dave to arrive. Adam explains to Eli that all he wanted was Dave to see him as a guy, and that he was interested at how to stand at the urinal because he bought a stand-to-pee (STP) device. Dave arrives and Eli advices Adam to act like the restroom insident never happened - Adam takes Eli's advice. Dave and Adam start working on their next radio show, but Dave keeps acting weird, so Adam confronts him. Adam brings up the bathroom incident, but Dave waves him off saying it's not his fault, he just had too much caffeine. Dave walks off to the restroom and Adam follows him, this time usung the urinals. Dave is curious as to how Adam can use the urinals and peeks at Adam, asking what the peeing device was. Adam gets alarmed and drops the peeing device on the floor making pee splash on Dave's shoes. Dave hurries outside telling Adam to stay away from him. The next day Adam arrives at the recording room, waiting for Dave to arrive for their first broadcast, but Dave is late. Adam apologizes once more, but Dave waves him off. The two start the broadcast and Dave chooses to talk about bathroom rules, asking if girls are allowed to use the boys' bathroom. He keeps on, talking about Adam being a tranny. Sav tries to shut him up, and puts on music in order to cut Dave off. Adam hurriedly leaves the room, and Sav scolds Dave.

In Cry Me a River (2), Adam shows Dave a protest the LGBT club has made to remove him from the Degrassi's Radio Show. This upsets Dave, who confronts Sav about it and only ends up getting rejected and angry when he finds out Adam is still on the show, but not him. Later, Adam finds Dave dressing up in girl clothes and going to their washroom, trying to "make a point" that Adam only wants to see guys, intead of wanting to be accepted as one. This causes a fight between the boys and ultimately a detention. After school Adam explains to Dave that he discriminated against him for something he can't change. The next day Dave finds Adam at the handicapped bathroom that was assigned to him by Simpson. Dave sneaks into the radio booth and apologizes to Adam on air, who accepts and co-hosts the show with him.

In Dirt Off Your Shoulder (1), Adam fills in for Dave, who is sick, at the Degassi Radio. He calls Imogen "psycho" after she states that Eli punched her and is seen wearing tampons up her nose, in truth she "tripped". In this episode Adam is first seen talking to Eli before school starts, and following him when he talks to Clare.

In Dirt Off Your Shoulder (2) Eli tries asking Adam to help him. Eli tells him his anti-anxiety pills are killing his creativity and that he needs Adam to keep his pills just until he finishes writing the play for his drama class. Adam refuses - he tells Eli to ask his doctor for different pills. Eli gets upset and shouts, but Adam doesn't want to get in the way of Eli's therapy so he dismisses him. Adam moves away to start his broadcast on Degrassi Radio and sees that Imogen, the girl he called "Psycho" the previous day, took Eli's pills instead.

In Should've Said No (1), Adam is hosting Degrassi Radio with Dave, while taking about his (Dave) relationship with Alli.

In U Don't Know (1), Adam along with Dave have Katie on Degrassi Radio as a special guest. Katie invites Adam to join the prom fundraiser fashion show that is being held at Degrassi. Adam, who is convinced by Dave that Katie was flirting with him, approaches Katie while she is setting up for the runway. Adam signs up for the fashion show and asks her to be her escort and to his surprise her answer is positive. Adam, who is not used to&nbsp

girls flirting with him, asks Katie if she knows he is trans, but once again her answer is positive. At the show Katie and Adam are both very nervous, but once the show endsthey are relieved and decide to make plans for the following day. Adam, who finds himself in an unfamiliar territory asks Marisol, Katie's BFF, if she knows if katie likes him, but to his dismay, she answers that with his current body, there aren't much chances Katie is into him. The next day, Adam convinces Dave to look at his chest and tell him if his breasts are visible even with the binder on, but once again, to his dismay, Dave tells him that he doesn't have much to do and that he can see his breasts.

In U Don't Know (2), Adam likes Katie, and thinks she likes him back, but after what her BFF, Marisol, said, he is insecure about his body. Adam asks his mom to discuss top surgery which at first she dismisses, but then promises to talk with the school counselor about it. Unfortunate for Adam, the school counselor explains that he first has to go through counseling to make sure he really wants this, and that it will be problematic since his body is still changing. Instead of top surgery, the counselor suggests a different binder which will flatten his chest better. After having a fun day with Katie the previous day and after receiving the new binder, he walks confidentially to Katie and offers to go to a movie, but it comes clear that she is not interested in him "that way".

In Lose Yourself (2) Adam helps Clare find out what Eli is up to since he hired Jake for the school play.

In Dead and Gone (2), Adam arrives with Drew and Katie and he is there when Katie spots Bianca. Adam points out that Bianca's boyfriend still wants to kill Drew. Drew says he was there for both Adam and Katie and he wants to be there for Bianca too. Adam and Eli serve as waiters at the prom. He is cleaning up Drew's table

and sees Bianca sitting alone. Bianca says she's sorry for what she did to him and they dance. She says she was an idiot for not wanting to be his ballroom partner, as they would have killed it. Adam gets shot by Vince, who shows up at the prom to get Bianca. Eli is the first to realize that Adam got hurt and points this out to the others. Drew pomises Adam he will be at the hospital soon. Clare and Eli are with Adam at the hospital. Clare asks Adam what being shot feels like and he says it feels like a warm hug on a cold day. Eli points out that girls like scars and Adam jokes again that he now has another thing to explain when he takes his shirt off. His mother arrives and is relieved to see that he is alright. When Drew, Katie and Bianca arrive at the hospital, Drew hugs Adam and although he is glad to see his brother, he says he is still sore. Drew promises Adam that he'll be his butler.

In Nowhere to Run, he is seen watching television, while his brother, Drew, was helping Katie to slice "Welcome Back Degrassi Posters, and Bianca was helping with his dad for her court plea bargin. Later, he is seen finding the controller of his video game when Bianca called Clare. When Bianca asks Adam to crash a party at Jake's cabin, he answers her that he is busy.

In Need You Now (1) Adam goes on an "adventure" with Eli. While Eli is in a messy relationship with Imogen, trying to stay "cool" when discovering Imogen is lying to him isn't going very well.

In Need You Now (2), while still trying to help Eli with his relationship problems, Adam finds himself breaking into Fiona's condo in search of Imogen. The situation becomes even more awkward when the two boys are standing face to face with a puzzled Fiona and frightened Imogen. Eli starts shouting, sure that Imogen has been cheating on him, and quickly leaves when he understands no one is on his side in the case. Adam is left awkwardly standing in Fiona's living room.

In Smash Into You (1) Adam gave up long ago the idea of a relationship during high school. Relationships apparently haven't given up on him. Adam starts receiving weird love notes from a "secret admirer". While having

an ordinary English class, reading Clare an essay he wrote about his willigness to try things he is scared of - skateboarding in particular - he finds a note in his backpack. Eventhough Clare is fully excited, he decides to rip the note and throw it away - This is obviously a transphobic prank, right? The next day, Adam heads for the skateboarding area, and is puzzled when a girl suddenly comes up to him asking him weired questions about his love life. This whole scenario does not sit well with Adam - what's the sollution? Spying of his locker. Sure enough Tori emerges, leaving yet another note, when Clare quickly pushes Adam towards his locker.
