[edit] Biography and Character History
First depicted as a stylishly dressed girl with fairly "loose" parents, Lucy has evolved over the run of the Degrassi series. The following outlines some of the important events Lucy was involved with over the course of the series.
[edit] Parents
Lucy's parents have not been seen, but her mother's voice was provided by Linda Schuyler in an episode near the end of the third season.
[edit] Original Degrassi Season 1-3
- she was on The Kids of Degrassi Street as well
- Lucy was caught shoplifting a sweater with her friend Voula. Both of the girls got in trouble for this, although it was Lucy's idea in the first place, and she claimed that she did it all the time (but never got caught). Because of this, Voula's parents found Lucy to be an unfit friend for their daughter, and wouldn't allow the girls to be friends anymore.
- When her parents were out of town for the weekend, she often held parties, the most notable of which was when Shane McKay and Spike had sex (Spike later learned she was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Emma). After Lucy's shoplifting incident, her parents became suspicious of her reckless behaviour. Thereafter, Lucy was more cautious with her parties and how wild they would get.
- She also dated an 11th grader from high school, but broke up with him after he tried to go "too far". After this, she had an on-and-off relationship with Clutch, an 11th grader from Borden High.
- Lucy's best friend was Lorraine Delacorte, better known as L.D. Lucy taught L.D. to be more feminine, since L.D. was a tomboy and would always play sports with the boys. However, L.D. considered the first make-up job by Lucy to be excessive and wiped it off after leaving the Fernandez house.
- Mr. Colby, a substitute teacher, became close to Lucy in one episode, and would try to touch her. Susie Rivera, a classmate of Lucy, was later victimized similarly. Susie and Lucy, with Wheels as a witness, reported the teacher to the authorities.
[edit] Season 4-5 & Degrassi Movie: Schools Out
- In the 10th grade, she helped Joey Jeremiah, Wheels, and Snake make the music video for "Everybody Wants Something" for their band, Zit Remedy (later, The Zits). It then led to the making of the video, "It Creeps!!", for which she received an A+ in class. She was there for her best friend L.D. when she was diagnosed with leukemia.
- Lucy's Grade 11 year saw the beginning of Lucy's relationship with school president, Bronco Davis. The couple dated for a year up until "School's Out". Lucy also ran to become Degrassi's school president in her senior year and won, although she didn't end up fulfilling it due to the closure of Degrassi in the following year.
[edit] School's Out
- We find Lucy being Degrassi's valedictorian in her grade level. Also during "School's Out", an intoxicated Wheels gets behind the wheel of a car with Lucy, crashes into another vehicle, and kills a child in the accident. Also, Lucy becomes temporarily blind.
[edit] Degrassi The Next Generation
- Her last appearance is in the series premiere of Degrassi: The Next Generation, where Joey is selling a car to her before the reunion and before she moved to New Mexico to run her company. She also returns in the Degrassi: The Next Generation episode "White Wedding", being one of Spike's bridesmaids for her wedding to Snake.
(* Although many Grade 8 first season characters have birthdays in 1974, since Emma Nelson, daughter of one such student, was born in June 1989, and since Grade 8s start at the age of 12 or 13 and finish at 13 or 14, 1974 birthdays should be retconned as 1975.)
