sean hope cameron 🖤 35 years old // scorpio // hardworking mechanic, temperamental, complicated loner, biker, & also a softee
sean cameron is a hometown guy ex boyfriend of emma "lucky" nelson, current boyfriend of ellie nash, friend of jay hogart, young mechanic new hire tommy, and of the manning-jeremiah-santos clan. he's recently appointed as the boss at cameron's custom cars (formally tony's auto repair) by tony after he retired after decades in the business in the beginning of the year.
(the continued biography is under the cut!)
he's still hung up on his ex, singing phenom, lucky but she'd once been simply emma, or emma nelson. to put it simply, he's a good guy overall but unfortunately in his youth he made mistakes when he fell into a 'bad crowd', and hurt countless people who cared and vouched for him such as emma, his shop teacher mr. elh, and mr. simpson. he only recently made amends with the latter, mr. elh passed from a heart attack shortly after retirement a few years after sean managed to skid through to graduation. he and mr. simpson made sure sean was on that stage with his diploma. he regrets a lot of what he did back then in high school, the whole gangsta phase craig still teases him for.
as for work, he loves what he does, drowns in his work, and stays at the garage late to cope with his regrets and avoid his off-and-on girlfriend ellie nash with whom he currently lives. sean is somewhat of a workaholic and still has issues with his temper but, he isn't as angry as he had been in the past, more indifferent. he's a glass hal full guy, pessimistic as they come and he directs his hatred for himself what he'd done to emma especially, never getting closure when he had a sliver of a chance the day she departed for greener pastures, and prioritized standing by ellie who in recent years, won't help herself in her destructive hobbies. craig and manny, his friends understand the situat
craig and manny always make excuses for emma, but visit with emma frequently and they believe there's hope for sean and emma, and aren't afraid to be honest, but he doesn't want to set himself up for false hopes either. , they claim its not all about him, fine, but her staying away has everything to do with him. sean simply doesn't understand how she is constantly flaking a simple visit, inconveniencing her parents and hometown friends to fly out her way, and not coming home. if not because of him not even her family and friends, just because she's not ready to run into him. the way he sees it, it'd been years, but that's the salties and pettyest thing he'd ever thought.
he eventually moved on, but never really got over that sting of heartbreak over the years. he filled her absence with keeping quiet on her, but silently watching from the stands, and by stands, he means online sites and such. he is a fan of hers in secret because he knew her before she became so overexposed and unattainable. it's nice to dream, he figures. she had always to him, been out of his league, and genuinely thinks she's better off. he often thinks to himself when alone, if he had a chance he'd make it right with her, but it hadn't been likely because she hadn't been home since their last tango about a year after she left, and he didn't handle his second chance the best and that justified that.
on the other hand, he doesn't feel much more for, ellie he stands by her because he cares a lot, is a weakness, and fears what she'd do if he were to break up with her or stop doing things for her when she's too drunk to function. he cares but it's hard for him to not resent how she is, he dealt with it in his youth with his parents, and so did she, but in a strictly dutiful kind of way, he helps her with respect and care. he may still love her, but he isn't in love anymore, they lost their spark and individuality in this long term off and on, and so on. it was better off for emma, if he stuck with her miserable, even if he'd rather be with emma. he hides his momentos of her from ellie so, as not to hurt her feelings. even when they were at their high points and peaks he was always into emma, but did like having his relationship with ellie, before her predispositions to alcohol and all the chaos that comes with it.
he doesn't know why ellie sticks around nowadays, and is at a loss of what to do, even before emma comes into town. she'd built and wrapped her life around sean's, and lost who she was in her daily alcohol binges. he didn't like who she'd become. he assumed he'd never stop loving emma too by comparison, but there's things about emma he's not so keen on either but she seems miles more healthy than his current girlfriend. ✨
idk if this makes sense, but imogen moreno is who made me realize i was pan even though she didnt actually say the word? i just related a lot to what she said to adam about liking people and stating that she was open minded, and i identified with that for a long time before finding out there was a term for that definition. so her being confirmed pan by the degrassi writers makes me feel so happy and validated! i was just wondering if this makes sense.
yes! this absolutely makes sense! I felt the same way when they finally confirmed she’s pan. and this is exactly why the word needs to be used on screen. people need to know there are words for what they’re feeling and entire communities of people who feel the same way they do.

-Paige has a difficult time controlling her emotions after the rape. When Ashley writes an explicit song for their band about rape, Paige can't handle it and finally tells her friends about the attack.
-Through Snake's alumni database, Emma does locate her biological father, Shane McKay, at an address in Stouffville. When she arrives at that address, she sees that it is a medical institution and that Shane, mentally disabled, is a patient. Emma's first thought is that her mother is a heartless woman who deserted Shane during his time of need. Emma's view of her mother changes when she learns the full story and why Spike did not tell her the truth about Shane. But Spike may be in trouble when Shane escapes from the institution and wants to see his old girlfriend. Meanwhile, Spinner managed to get Hazel's locker for Paige, who deems it not to be the perfect locker. In her mind, Jimmy has the perfect locker. Jimmy, knowing that Spinner will probably do anything for the locker, makes a deal with Spinner, one not only that Spinner will find embarrassing to do, but one that Spinner does not realize will put Paige in a bad light.
Pride(2)
-Spinner does not react well to Marco coming out to him. Without initially actually outing Marco to the general populace, Spinner does whatever he can to freeze Marco out of his life. Marco will need all the support he can when he learns first hand what it's like to be gay in an intolerant society. A specific incident pushes Marco further in the closet. Meanwhile, Snake's initial medical diagnosis is possible leukemia. He tries to make light of the situation, which affects Emma more than anyone. Regardless of the final diagnosis, his actions, in part because of the possible diagnosis of leukemia, benefit Degrassi as a whole.
