Say it with me, friends: Degrassi. Is. Back. TeenNick’s insanely addictive series continues its 13th season Jan. 28, and along with a new night — it now airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. Et — there’s also plenty of new drama for the boys and girls of Degrassi. HollywoodLife.com snagged an exclusive new promo of the upcoming episodes, including more than a few scandalous hookups.

Miles & Maya Strip Down In New ‘Degrassi Promo

The promo’s first big moment comes courtesy of Miles (Eric Osborne) and Maya (Olivia Scriven), who go for a clothing-optional swim — and get caught by Miles’ parents!

“You said nobody would be home,” Maya tells him, as if Miles being a liar with questionable judgment is a new concept to anyone.

Does Becky blame herself for Adam’s death? Watch our exclusive clip from the ‘Degrassi’ summer finale!

If you got all choked up over Adam’s death on last week’s Degrassi, you’re definitely going to want to have tissues handy during the Aug. 22 summer finale. Adam’s friends and family end the show’s eight-episode summer run with a loving tribute to him — and in this preview clip, obtained exclusively by HollywoodLife.com, it’s clear Adam’s girlfriend Becky (Sarah Fisher) is going to have an especially rough time.

The scene below finds Becky preparing an informal memorial service for her (ex?)boyfriend, with pals Jenna (Jessica Tyler), Ali (Melinda Shankar) and Connor (Aj Saudin) by her side. Though they try to be supportive, it doesn’t take long for Ali to slip up and make Becky feel awkward. But hey, isn’t that what Ali’s best at?...

Eli gets some unlikely relationship advice from Connor in this clip from the April 5 episode of ‘Degrassi!’

Has “Eclare” finally gone stale? Eli (Munro Chambers) sure seems to think so! He admits in defeat in this new clip from the April 5 episode of Degrassi — obtained exclusively by HollywoodLife.com — and not even a pep talk from one of his best friends is able to lift him out of his deep depression.

Sensing his buddy is down in the dumps, Connor (A.J. Saudin) attempts to lift Eli’s spirits, and when it doesn’t work out, he reveals his ulterior motive: Eli’s breakup from Clare (Aislinn Paul) is apparently screwing up Connor’s relationship with Jenna (Jessica Tyler)!

I’m not quite sure how ‘Eclare’ calling it quits is having a negative impact on Connor and Jenna, and neither does Eli; he seems super skeptical.

The compelling and soapy world of Degrassi shows no signs of slowing down and as new episodes begin airing tonight on Teen Nick. The long running series, which will soon hit episode #300, continues to delve out loads of social issues, conflict, drama and, of course, romance.

One of the hotter unions on the show’s canvas is between bisexual Imogen Moreno (played by Cristine Prosperi) and Fiona Coyne (Annie Clark). As the new episodes unfold, are we going to find Fimogen in a good place? What does Prosperi think of a potential matching of Imogen with transgender character Adam (Jordon Todosey)? And who’s responsible for Imogen’s funky, beyond-cute look?

AfterEllen.com went right to the source and grabbed some time with the delightfully bubbly Prosperi about all things Imogen and Fimogen.

While you awesome Ology readers are right in the middle of Degrassi's twelfth season, you may have completely forgotten the time we trekked to Toronto in order to pow wow with the entire cast for the second leg of Season 11 (in which case: shame on you). So in honor of Showdown kicking off its second leg of drama Tonight at 10pm, we thought we'd take a look back at our favorite moments with our favorite television cast, from Munro Chambers' thoughts on Eli and Clare's destiny, Jessica Tyler's fancy rapping skills, Christine Prosperi's foxy dance moves, and everything in between. Every Degrassi video interview is below: video footage all over the Canadian set with Munro, Jessica, and Cristine as well as Annie Clark, Luke Bilyk, Melinda Shankar, Justin Kelly, Shanice Banton, Aislinn Paul, plus our super fun blooper reel with guest stars Chloe Rose, Olivia Scriven, and Jahmil French.

With TeenNick's hit series entering its third week of face-offs and shocking moments, it's been quite a quiet year for Jenna Middleton, hasn't it? After a previous season of having a baby with her ex and tearfully giving him up for adoption (and ending her relationship shortly after), you figure life at Degrassi couldn't get much more intense for a girl just looking to be happy. But on tonight's episode (entitled "Closer To Free, Part 1"), Jenna Middleton meets Degrassi: Showdown and things are about to get real when she meets new girl Becky Baker, who's already ruffled some feathers with her personal views.

Degrassi: Showdown Recaps, News, Interviews, & More!

Actress Jessica Tyler spills some deets on how the new girl will affect her journey at school, hinting that it won't be an easy one. "Jenna does have things happen this season that people wouldn’t normally expect," she explains. "She and Becky get along good,...

I've had lots of intel on Season 12 and what's to come, and yet I'm still super excited for what Degrassi: Showdown has to offer.

Clare is back in school and Where's Eli in case you're not caught up. Let's go!

Oh, so we begin with new boy Dallas, who lives with Drew and Adam and is also the new Aubrey Graham? I'm fine with that. Everyone is worried about this big school assembly—is the school closing down?—except Clare, who's like Where's Eli I Haven't Seen Him Since Season 11. Oh, Clare. No one cares just yet.

As the high schoolers return to Degrassi, a few new faces are joining the student body: Campbell Saunders (Dylan Everett), Becky Baker (Sarah Fisher), Luke Baker (Craig Arnold) and Mike Dallas (Demetrius Joyette).
