SPIKE
Ah Christine Nelson aka Spike.(played by Amanda Stepto on every incarnation of the program) She was SO New Wave. From her hairspray consuming Aimee Mann coiffure to her friend Liz that looks like "she does it," Spike was the best Canadian 80's rock and roller.(Please no Bryan Adams or Rush fans emailing me on that statement.) Now she is most famous for being the one on Degrassi Jr. High who got knocked up by Shane (aka the kid who took acid and jumped of a bridge) and decided to not have an abortion by having . And because Degrassi was so raw, they went through all of the strifes to break it down for the keedz. So for most of her remaining time on the show, which was like every episode, she had baby Emma . Spike was so important to the program, her spawn became the focus of the almost as brilliant Degrassi the Next Generation. Anyway, back to the rock and roll. Spike had to have been the only teen on 80's TV that walked imaginary school hallwayswith big hair that actually looked good AND rocked Smiths T-shirts WAY before it was cool to. For that reason alone she's deserves more respect.
