Degrassi Season 1-2

Starts as: Grade 7

Rick Munro was a former student who attended Degrassi Junior High School in Toronto, Ontario. He has an older brother named Frank and an abusive father .Joey Jeremiah went to Ricks house to borrow a denim jacket for picture day when he found out that Ricks father beat him. After that, he was sent to live with Frank. Rick repeated Grade 7, and while repeating was often cautioned about letting his grades slip far enough to repeat again.

Likely due in part to his miserable home life, Rick rarely smiled at school. Caitlin Ryan and Susie Rivera made it their task to get him to smile. Though they never succeeded, they were pleased when they saw him smile at Joey (which was when he told Joey he was moving in with Frank).

One time, he was suspected to have stolen Yick Yu's money, but he didn't - his recent wealth was due to a lottery win (possibly Frank's ticket, shared with Rick or bought for Rick). Some of the students had the mistaken belief that Rick had a criminal record, but this may be the result of his difficult home conditions.

Later, he dated Caitlin, but the two broke up after when she found out he smoked cigarettes. He later moved away, and was not heard of again.
