CTV ordered the show for a season and described it as ""Highland Gardens" follows the ins and outs of an apartment-style motel in LA which draws aspiring Canadian hopefuls looking for a place to rest their heads while they chase their Hollywood dreams. Production is scheduled to begin in Summer 2011." Can you say Melrose Place? Melrose Place was a spin off of Beverly Hills 90210 back in the day. Though to be fair Degrassi has a history that goes beyond that franchise.
Manny Santos was one of Degrassi's most memorable characters from the first scene in the pilot episode. Fans saw her go through pregnancy, abortion, eating disorders, self esteem issues, scandals, rivarly, college, romance, and finally making her Hollywood dreams come true.
No word on what US station might pick up the show. However our guess is that Teennick would love to try and have a show that could be as successful as Degrassi, or at least one that last longer than a season or two.
