The friendship between Archie Simpson and Joey Jeremiah began in the first season of Degrassi Junior High. The two have been lifelong best friends since then. Their friendship is known as Simpsomiah (Simpson/Jeremiah).

Friendship History[]

Degrassi Junior High Season 1[]

In Kiss Me, Steph, Joey supported Stephanie Kaye's campaign to become Student Council President over Archie's.

In The Great Race, when Archie was seen outside talking with Melanie, she told him how she didn't like how Joey and others were teasing her about her breast size. Archie replied that Joey gave him a rough time too so it is likely that they were not friends yet.

In Best Laid Plans, Archie overheard Shane McKay and Wai Lee telling Joey and Wheels that Stephanie intended to have sex with Wheels on their date the following Friday night.

In Nothing to Fear, Arthur Kobalewscuy announced over the PA that 7C's class project, a golden down California King snake named Amadeus, had escaped. Joey grabbed Archie's jacket and said, "I caught the snake! I caught the snake!" Archie was not particularly amused.

In Parents' Night, Archie was shown to be playing with Joey and Wheels' band so it can be assumed that either they got to know each other or Wheels got them to know each other.

In Revolution!, Archie, Joey, and Wheels are seen rehearsing for their band, but they were constantly being interrupted by Stephanie Kaye who comes to flirt with Joey in an attempt to make Wheels jealous. Later in that episode, Archie and Joey were seen looking surprised at Mr. Raditch's jumpy mood. Joey and Archie were later seen studying right before their exam started. Afterwards, Archie and Wheels are seen comforting Joey when he says he might have flunked his exam.

Degrassi Junior High Season 2[]

In A Helping Hand..., Archie and Joey were both disappointed that Wheels' parents would not allow him to play with the Zit Remedy until his marks improved. However, they hired Simon Dexter, who was a talented musician, to be their new bass player. They told Wheels that he and Simon would both be in the band once Wheels returned. Archie was excited that they would be the first band to have two bass players.

In Great Expectations, Joey said to Snake and Wheels that the new Degrassi student Liz O'Rourke looked as if she had sex. Wheels asked him what he thought a girl who had sex looked like while Archie accused him of being sex crazed, which he denied. While playing baseball that afternoon, Joey told Snake and Wheels that sex was no big deal to him as "Chicks are like aspirin: I take two and go to bed." Snake was not convinced, describing Joey as "Mr. All-Time Loser" when it came to girls. He said that Joey would scream "No, no, I'm a virgin!" if Liz came near him as he was all talk and no action. Later that day in English class, he told Archie and Wheels that he was going over to Liz's house to study after school, intimating that they would in fact be having sex. Archie and Wheels were very impressed.

In Dinner & a Show, Joey mocked Snake when he said that he had a crush on the Grade 7 student Melanie Brodie, asking him if he was going to play skip rope with her. When Liz ignored Joey as she was still annoyed at him for assuming that they would have sex, Snake commented that she clearly did not want to play skip rope with him. After school, Joey and Wheels became jealous when they learned that Snake was taking Melanie to see Revenge of the Reptiles at the cinema. Instead of playing video games as they originally planned, they decided to go to the cinema themselves. They sat behind Snake and Melanie and started to mock them, much to Snake's annoyance.

In Fight!, Archie, Joey, and Wheels are first seen in the restroom. They were talking about how Wheels got a B on the math test and that the Zits are back. Then Wheels asked what's on his shirt. Joey said Dwayne pushed him off his skateboard. That is when Joey made jokes about Dwayne saying D for dumb, D for doorknob. Archie told him I bet you would not say that to his face. Later, they spot Dwayne pick up Scooter, this intimidated them and they went upstairs. Next, Joey tells Archie and Wheels he is not going to the fight. Archie and Wheels tell Joey he got to go. Joey tells them that Raditch made him stay after school. Archie asked are you sure you did not ask Raditch to stay after school.  Joey said no ways I would not do that. At the fight Dwayne approaches Archie and Wheels calling him a coward and they defended Joey. Joey shows up for the fight all ready and pumped. At first Joey was doing fairly good but Dwayne's friends pushed Joey, and fell to the ground. Then Dwayne sat on him, pinning him down and began punching Joey in the face. Since the fight was getting out of hand, Archie and Wheels both stepped in and pulled Dwayne off. Then they declared the fight over, and took Joey home.

He tells them that he has to do what's best for The Zit Remedy.

In Star-Crossed, Joey and Archie were talking in a hallway when they see Wheels. They then go up to Wheels and ask him if he wants to join their bowling team.

Joey tells Archie about how B.L.T. made a $20 bet with Joey that he couldn't get a date by Friday. Archie reminds Joey that they were both going to purchase Gourmet Scum tickets, and that there's a 2 ticket limit per person. Joey assumed that Archie was going to buy tickets for the both of them, but Archie wanted to take someone else. He suggested that Joey should take Caitlin, but Joey shrugged and said "Yeah, I wish."

Joey tells Archie that he didn't use the ID right. Wheels told them to forget the beer and go to Lucy's party without it. But Joey reminds them that he promised the beer. As Joey sees some random guy pull up his car by the store, he plans on asking the guy in his car to buy the beer for them. Archie assumed that Joey's plan was crazy. After several failed attempts to ask grownups for beer, Archie and Wheels tells Joey to give up already.

Joey tells them that he has it all figured out, and he needs some women in bikinis. Wheels replies that no one is going to agree to wear a bikini and Archie made jokes about Caitlin being the "chick in a bikini" in the video.

Joey is telling Archie and Wheels that they might throw a party after the shooting of the video. When Archie was asking Joey what was going on between him and Caitlin, Joey tells them (Wheels is still there) that she's moody, but Wheels tells him that she's been like that for a while. And Joey tells them to mind their own business. They meet up with Lucy and asked her if she read their script. Lucy said that she doesn't like it.

Clutch says no at first, but when Archie brings up the fact that they have to hand their script over to their "camera-person" Clutch then says yes. Archie, Joey and Wheels were trying to convince Lucy to let her shoot the video with the new and improved script, but Lucy refuses to do so because Clutch was in it. Moments later, after Lucy had a talk with Erica and Heather, she agrees to shoot the video whether Clutch was in it or not (unaware of the fact that Heather has a crush on Wheels). When Archie, Wheels, Lucy, Clutch and Heather (Erica wasn't there because she got into a fistfight with Liz) were waiting on Joey, they all accuse him of being late, but Joey defends himself by asking them if they have heard of a concert that started on time, rather than telling them that he and Caitlin just broke up. They then start the shooting of the video.
