Degrassi producers and former cast members have confirmed the death of Neil Hope, who played the character Derek “Wheels” Wheeler on the long-running show, having only learned of his passing in 2007 days ago.

:'( Amazing that he could pass away 5 years ago and nothing be said at all.

"We're like a family....a really distant family that doesn't see each other very often, and if someone died, we might not notice it for several years."

Post by: Dickie Dee on February 17, 2012, 10:23:56 AM: To be fair, he's kinda saying that he's contributed to their "family" only, not explicitly saying he was part of it.

On another note, if I let my hair grow out and wore those birth-control glasses he has, I'd look almost excactly like Wheels.

The only decent TV series this country has ever produced:

Nothing could tie the Littlest Hobo down--well, a leash and a collar would have, I guess.
