Stacey Farber, who gained fame as Ellie Nash on Degrassi: The Next Generation, voiced mixed feelings regarding a potential revival of the iconic Canadian teen drama. Farber, 38, stated on April 22, 2026, that she is uncertain about a return, believing the show was perfectly captured in its original time period.
