Thanks for the notice about the update HSG. And I miss Christina on Degrassi too. I think I posted about her "model" episode when it first aired, and I always considered it one of the all-time great moments for size celebration. I still cant believe they arent using Terri more often. Of all the "issues" that teens deal with, body image is one of the most important. And Degrassi was one of the first shows to have a character who was really and truly size positive - not just in a guest episode, but a regular on the series. No one could see Christina on the show and dismiss her as a "sidekick" character. She stole every scene she was ever in. How great was that? Anyway, among the new pics at my group for Christina I finally found a screen cap of her scene at the end of "Tears are Not Enough", which takes place at the end of a Hawaiian-themed school dance. Terri was dressed in a gorgeous outfit with flowers in her hair. It reminded me of Barbaras Elena Miro magazine cover for Spring-Summer 2004. But this scene aired before that. Ill try to post it, but if it doesn't show, it's in the group "Photos" section under "ScreenCaps" -
