Cassie’s charachter Manny was a fan favorite on the 2000s teen hit show, Media Take Out confirmed.
Manuella “Manny” Santos was a Class of 2007 graduate of Degrassi Community School. Manny was arguably the most developed character out of the original cast from Degrassi: The Next Generation.
She was initially portrayed as bubbly and innocent, if not shy, and was seen as “adorable.” However, throughout her early high school years, she prioritized popularity and acknowledgment, resulting in a variety of decisions she regretted thereafter.
Her romantic and somewhat promiscuous ways resulted in her sleeping with someone who was in a relationship, thus becoming pregnant and having her reputation plummet, despite ultimately deciding on an abortion.
In the earlier seasons, Manny had noted initially that she wanted to be a fashion designer, but her dreams later changed to wanting to pursue a career in acting.
