Relationship History

Degrassi High

In A Tangled Web Tessa revealed that she had a crush on Joey. When she sees a secret admirer note in her locker, she assumed it was written by Joey. When Alex had the same note assuming that it was written by Tessa (when it was written by Arthur) she ends up dating Alex.

School's Out!

Although Joey and Tessa's relationship only took place in School's Out!, Joey was still dating Caitlin when it happened. When Joey proposed to Caitlin at Lucy's party, and got rejected because Caitlin wasn't ready, Joey storms away, and gives Tessa a ride home. As Joey and Tessa arrive at Tessa's home, Tessa pulls him in for a kiss.

The next day, Tessa purposely shows up at the drugstore where Joey works, and asks him out on a date. At first Joey is hesitant, but then he agrees to do so, thinking that Caitlin wouldn't find out. Since Caitlin and Joey have completely different schedules, Joey has spent most of his summer with Tessa, the two even became sexually active.

Their relationship ended when Joey had been lying to Tessa, about various events (e.g. taking Caitlin to Bronco's cottage, having a birthday dinner with his parents). Tessa didn't appreatiate this and broke up with Joey.
