Degrassi Wiki

The relationship between Jane Vaughn and Declan Coyne was an affair that formed in the ninth season of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Although Jane was deeply in love with her boyfriend Spinner Mason, Declan made Jane feel feminine and beautiful, whereas Spinner made her feel like "one of the guys." They were a complicated couple, as they both had feelings for each other, but never directly said it, and kept it flirtatious and sexual while still being considered a low-key relationship.

Relationship History[]

Overview[]

The two formed an interest in one another through a mutual class at Degrassi Community School. Though Jane tried to brush off her attraction to him at first, the two began an affair while Jane was still in a relationship with Spinner Mason. They carried their affair on in secret for about two weeks, until Holly J. Sinclair encouraged Jane to break it off with Declan. Several months later at a year-end pool party at the Coyne house, Spinner overhears Holly J. and Jane talking about Jane's affair with Declan. Angry and heartbroken, Spinner permanently ends his relationship with Jane and punches Declan.

In Close to Me, Jane and Declan are put in charge of the school play. Jane decides to invite Declan to Spinner's housewarming party. At the end of the party Jane and Declan come up with a subject for the school play. Declan offers to walk Jane home, but she rejects. Declan invites Jane to work on the play with him at his house and Jane excepts. Declan gives Jane a tour of his house and even though he knows she has a boyfriend, Declan kisses her. The next day, Declan walks into The Dot and sees Jane and Spinner together. He asks Jane if she wants to study at his house tonight and she says yes.

In Degrassi Takes Manhattan, Spinner over-hears Jane talking to Holly J. about her affair with Declan. She confesses that the two had sex and her relationship with Spinner is ended. Spinner then attacks Declan in anger. Declan and Fiona invites Jane and Holly J. to Manhattan. Later, when Jane finds out about Spinner's relationship with Emma, she forces Declan and Holly J. to go with her back to Toronto to stop their wedding, using one of Declan's dad's cars. Though initially confused, the two decide it's best to stall and let the wedding happen. Jane then steals their car.
