Degrassi Wiki

The friendship between Declan Coyne and Sav Bhandari formed in season 9 of Degrassi: The Next Generation while they both attended Degrassi Community School.

Friendship History[]

Overview[]

Declan was a new student in the second semester of their junior year, and the boys became friendly with each other through mutual classes. Declan went to Sav for advice when he was courting Holly J. Sinclair, and he in turn helped Sav out with Anya MacPherson. Sav was primarily the only boy that Declan would hang around with during his time at Degrassi, before transferring to Vanderbilt Prep. However, when Declan returned in the tenth season, Sav was dating his ex-girlfriend, Holly J., which Declan thought was a joke at first. It can be assumed that they are no longer friends after Holly J. admitted to Sav that she and Declan had sex during his stay.

In Waiting for a Girl Like You, Declan comments that Holly J. is a girl worth fighting for, and Sav sarcastically says, "You have health insurance, right?". They are both later shown to be in the same Media Immersion and History class. In History class, Declan sits in front of Sav, and they are talking about Sav's 1 year anniversary with Anya MacPherson. Declan says that maybe a relationship is just finding the right girl, while looking at Holly J. Sav comments "There's someone for everyone, I guess." Declan reveals that he messed up with her and she no longer trusts him, and Sav advises him to tell her how he feels, as girls love that. Declan tries to apologize to Holly J. and mentions Trish, causing Sav to loudly whisper, "Dude, you're still with Trish?!", ruining Declan's chance of an apology. Declan turns around and looks at him, which causes Sav to shut up.

Later, Declan approaches Sav, asking if he could help him out. He tells him that Holly J. isn't like the girls he normally dates and asks for big ideas. This exchange causes Anya to interrupt and tell Declan that big gestures freak girls out, and Declan should just try and find time to spend with her. Declan asks Sav what his anniversary surprise is for Anya, and Sav tells him that it is a homemade Sanya scrapbook. The two laugh over how Sav is screwed, and Declan gives him two backstage passes to the Tess's concert. Sav thanks him, as Declan had just saved him with Anya.
