Degrassi Guest Announcement: Miriam McDonald (Emma Nelson)

If you got to redo a storyline for Emma what would it be ?

Did you watched Degrassi jr and high before and after you got the role of Emma ?

omg!!!!

everyone’s got the degrassi q’s covered!!! no questions from me, but excited to hear her talk about her experiences working with rescue dogs so far since clearly it inspired her to do this fundraising event!!

Miriam, it's a joy to have you on the podcast and you're the reason so many of us kept watching after that first time tuning in! In so many ways TNG is Emma Nelson! QUESTION: I know it’s not 100% fair to make you pick favorites, but were there any castmates that you really loved being scene partners with? Maybe because of chemistry or energy or the way you fed off of each other as actors. Maybe just because you cracked each other up and you knew you were in for a fun time. I’m picturing you at a table read turning the page and seeing a scene that makes you light up with “Yay! I can’t wait to do this scene with… (fill in the blank)"

Miriam thank you for being on the degrassi podcast first and foremost and my question is what was the scariest scene to film the first episode with the 30 year old predator, or the gun scene with Rick, etc

What was miriam's favorite degrassi moments on the show? 🙂

Emma literally grew up on the show - everyone always wants to know about the tough scenes but I'd love to know what scene or story was her favorite to shoot or was excited to shoot when she read it? 💓

What the heccck!!! This is incredible. My question for Miriam would be “which element of Emma’s character do you wish had been explored more on the show?”

Omg!!!!! I told you around new years that this would happen this year! I am so excited for you! (And us! 😉) 💙💛

Hi Miriam. Thank you for willing to be interviewed. What was it like filming the hotel room scenes with Jeff Gruich. . How much discussion did you two have before the filming of the camera scene? Did linda talk to you before the filming of those scenes? Filming the pointing gun at you scene with Ephriam. Filming the revene scene with Mike Lobel Filming the fight scene with Deanna where you knee her in face Too many question to ask. :) Oh of course the bird poop scene :) What were your memories of working with everyone specifically for me Daniel morrision. My little brother actually went to high school with Evan Williams

This is going to be really epic, awesome and extraordinary. Miriam was really outstanding as emma nelson in the next generation! This is huge! 🙂🇨🇦🎊🎆🎉🌍

You just made my day!! And dog rescuing too!😊That first ep of DNG was ambitious, to say the least - the audition process must have been rigorous! How did you and the team assure yourselves that you could pull a role like a sexual assault at age 12 off?

What did you think of Emma and spinner marrying? Do you think they are still together or did Sean come back to win Emma’s heart? Team Spemma or Semma?

So exciting! You'll have to ask her about Emma and Spinner's marriage and where is baby Jack? (Side note, I received your Toronto postcard this week! Thank you for sending it and thank you for including us on your trip!♥)

This was my hope!! I wanna ask, What do you remember about when Emma's book was going to be the third one because there was going to be JT book but then that got cancelled and Emma's became the second one? Oh and the Emma book used to have a different cover, do you know what happened with that? Also just what was it like going to book signings with Stacy and Jonathan Torres and Stefan? Any cool memories? This might be too many questions, just love this!!

My question is : What was it like filming “Father Figure”? & Do you wish that the relationship with Emma and Shane would’ve been explored past those episodes?

How frikin exciting!!!! I know some of us will ask the same, so here are a few! . What did it feel like being the face of Emma, the baby from earlier Degrassi being all grown up starting the next generation? . Who would you have liked to see as a romance for Emma? . What do you think Emma is doing now? . Favorite memory on set?

but anywayyy my question for miriam would be… what was her favorite emma storyline?

OMGOMGOMG YES! as a big miriam fan, im so ready! emma was the first character that i really connected to! so im really excited to see miriams take on everything 😊🙌🏻

My question is: How did you feel about Emmas college story line? Did you feel like it represented her well? And how did you feel about Emmas Ending? Thats so cool can’t wait for the episode!!!

Oh, I got a little excited so my question for Miriam. I know you’ve done past stuff as acting. What did you like most about getting the role of Emma and what is it like? What was it like being the daughter of Christine a.k.a. Spike knowing that they were from the OG Degrassi by the way, I love your character.

My question is what was the hardest storyline to film?

OMGGGGG AHHHH THIS IS SO BIG!! I’m so happy for you! 🥹🫶

OMG you’ve got Emma Nelson. I am down and helping with that project for April. Oh, please please please let me help you with that.

This is so exciting!!!!!!!
