The Degrassi Black Hole is the term for when characters from Degrassi have disappeared for no reason. This happens when the writers want to get rid of a certain character, or if a cast member leaves for another acting job, etc.

They will either:

A) Explain the character is going away and not coming back ever, such as Darcy and Mia.

B) The characters will just disappear and nobody mentions them ever again or where they went, such as Wesley and Leia.

It is very rare for a character from the Black Hole to reappear on the series again, although it is not impossible.

Characters Who Have Entered the Hole

Main Characters.

• Bruce The Moose (Season 7-9) - His only purpose was to be Johnny's friend. He did not have any plots in any season he was in and his last name was never revealed. Since he did not appear in graduation, he was sent into the black hole.
• Derek Haig (Season 5-8) - He was just a friend for Danny. After Season 8, he just disappeared, and was not seen graduating with his class.
• Leia Chang (Season 8-10) - Faded away throughout Season 10, although never playing much of a role in the series. However, Leia is listed as "Alumni" (and has since mid-season 10) on the MuchMusic Degrassi cast page, meaning that she may have graduated early.
• Blue Chessex (Season 8-9) Hasn't been seen or mentioned after Beat It (2). After his break up with Holly J., his character was pointless.
