The conflict between Eli Goldsworthy and Becky Baker began in the twelfth season of Degrassi. Eli and Becky are polar opposites with clashing beliefs. Their differences were especially highlighted while working on a school play together. Eventually they settled their differences, and are currently on good terms.
Conflict History[]
Overview[]
Eli and Becky first met while co-directing a play. The two struggled against each other for complete control of the production, and while Becky secretly got her pitch for "Romeo and Juliette" approved first, Eli's decision to cast Tristan Milligan as Jules in place of Juliette, ultimately caused Becky to drop out of the production as she didn't agree with the homosexual nature of the play. Becky also planned a protest of Romeo and Jules, along with the help of her brother. After speaking with both Jenna, and Adam, Becky finally came to accept the LGBT community and extended her offer to play the role of Jules in Tristan's place if he wasn't found in time. This, paired with her romantic relationship with Eli's best friend Adam, presumably ended their conflict.

In Gives You Hell (2), Eli goes behind Becky's back and casts Tristan Milligan as Juliet but changes it to Jules. When Becky comes in and sees Tristan, she releases her true colors of the idea of Romeo and Juliet being homosexual guys, and Eli says he wants the play to be special. Becky then quits and leaves, saying nothing is right. Eli replies, "Welcome to Degrassi."
