Annie Clark “I’m a fairly sane, normal person,” Annie Clark says, comparing herself to Fiona Coyne, her character on “Degrassi.” Besides their shared obsession with fashion, Annie and Fiona couldn’t be more different. Fiona’s life at Degrassi Community School is very dramatic — Annie just likes to hangout. Annie is one of the older cast members. She completed high school and spent the majority of it in a regular school. She was on student council and acted in school plays. “I felt like I got the full high school experience,” she explains, “It’s nice to have this fake high school experience as well.” When asked if she would want to attend Degrassi, her eyes bug out of her head. “Are you kidding me? Never.” Being out of high school definitely has its advantages for Annie,. Now she can focus the majority of her time on acting without worrying about homework. This was especially handy when it came to Fiona’s abusive relationship storyline. “We talked to a social worker and did a lot research for it,” she explains, stressing how time consuming, but fun the string of episodes was for her as an actress.
