Friendship History[]

Overview[]

Connor and Alli met on their first day at Degrassi in Season 8. They were both in the gifted program along with Clare Edwards and K.C. Guthrie. They barely interacted in Season 9 and only interacted briefly in Season 10; they are shown together again in Season 11. They have never been particularly close friends, but they began to interact with one another more when Connor began to date Jenna Middleton.

In Man With Two Hearts, Alli suggests they help build the robot for Bot Wars at Connor's house after Clare asks if they're going to work at hers. Connor tells Alli that they always work at Clare's and she says that that's why they should switch it up. He repeats that they always work at Clare's and she says she understood the first time and tells him to ask his godfather if they can work there after school. He gets up hesitantly.

In With Or Without You, Alli, Connor, and K.C. all go on a field trip. Alli is interested in Johnny the whole time, meanshile Connor is getting bullied by him. Alli watches Johnny bully Connor and does nothing though they are in the same friend group.

Connor reminds her it's Thursday and they always play Risk on Thursdays. He asks why Clare and K.C. won't stop fighting and Alli says it's because they're "in like" with each other but ever since Connor told Clare about K.C.'s criminal past it's been awkward.

Connor says with a smile that what Alli needs is a boyfriend. Connor decides to try and get Alli a boyfriend so that it will keep her busy. Connor goes to see Dave who is watching Eli edit his zombie short film. He scares them and after Dave says not to do that, Connor pulls him away to talk. He tells him he needs to get back together with Alli. Dave declines and says they grew apart and are two different people now. Connor doesn't see a problem with that and says it would be like dating a completely brand new person. Dave says no, that they don't have common interests. Connor tells him that him and Jenna don't either but they make it work. Dave says he'd rather have it as a clean break, unlike Eli and Clare who break up and get back together and break up again. Dave turns to look at Eli and says he's a mess, buried in his movie, all sad and lonely. Connor excitedly says he can set up Eli with Alli. Dave slowly turns to him and sarcastically says that maybe fire and gasoline can hang out. Eli calls Dave over and Dave takes one last look at Connor and walks off, leaving Connor smiling. Later, Alli barges in on Connor and Jenna's date at The Dot to show Jenna flowers. Jenna asks if they're from Dallas and Alli declines and says they're from Eli, showing her the note on the flowers. Jenna reads "Will you be my girlfriend? XOXO Eli." Connor looks down as Jenna reads it. Alli says Eli's playing a sick game to get to Clare through her and adds that when she sees him he's dead. Connor mentions with a smile that Eli's not so bad. He continues, "He's sensitive and artistic," saying those are "both really attractive qualities." Connor adds that Eli would make an excellent boyfriend. Alli and Jenna both give him upset looks and then both gasp and Alli says "Oh my God" when Eli then also shows up, saying he went to Alli's house and her parents said she was at The Dot. Alli asks if he's stalking her and Eli denies it, and asks her to explain his identical flowers and note on them which he reads out loud "Would you be my boyfriend? XOXO Alli." Alli says she did not send those to him. Jenna thinks for a moment and figures out that Connor sent the flowers to both Alli and Eli. Connor admits he did and when Alli asks why, he says that they are both sad and lonely. Eli and Alli both share a surprised glance as Connor says they're a perfect match. Eli says he has to get back to his movie because he's on a deadline. Alli puts her flowers on Jenna and Connor's table without a word while Eli gives his flowers to an elderly woman and gives Connor one last glare as he heads out. Alli sits with Jenna as she tells him to leave.

In Zombie (2), Connor goes to apologize to Alli for trying to set her up with Eli. Alli says she doesn't want to talk about it. Jenna tells him that's enough because he's pissed a lot of people off. He asks if that means she wants to break up with him because she's mad and she says no because she's not mad. He smiles and asks what they're talking about. Jenna says they're talking about Clare and whether her and Eli should get back together. Alli says Eli's being a jerk. Connor says that Eli was just being honest, adding that he told Clare she was being annoying and that if she didn't want him to break up with her, she should've stopped. Alli looks over Connor's shoulder at Clare who has just arrived for class. Clare meekly thanks him for the advice and goes to sit down. Alli tells Connor "Nice one," before going to sit with Clare.
