I’ve finally opened the message boards. I will hopefully make an actual theme for them so the look a little better but for now it’s just using the default theme.

Anyways, check them out here: boards.jakeepstein.net

I’ve added some screen caps from two episodes from Season 7 of Degrassi:

704 – It’s Tricky
Craig (Jake) was not actually physically in this episode, but in this episode Craig’s CD was released and these are screen shots of the CD.

714 – Bust a Move Pt. 2
In this episode Craig returned, performing in Smithdale with Funkasaurus Rex (Jake’s real band) where some of his old friends from Degrassi had gone for a visit to the college. Ashley also performed with them for the first song, ‘My Window’.

Jake will be appearing in Ross Petty’s production of Cinderella: The Sillylicious Family Musical, November 29, 2008 to January 4, 2009 at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto. The show also features fellow Degrassi star Paula Brancati. For more information about this production visit Ross Petty’s website and check out this short article.

Also, there will apparently be a new Degrassi Mini coming soon, featuring Jake. The N held a contest for viewers to vote for ideas about “What if…”. The winner was Yasmin3121 who wanted a story about “What if… Craig DID marry Ashley?” We will keep you posted on this story. For more information, check out The N’s What If.. Contest Page.

I have one other appearance to tell you about, although its not really “Upcoming” now. Jake appeared in a recent “Live at E-Talk” which was focusing on the career of Linda Schuyler (Co-Creater and Executive Producer of Degrassi: The Next Generation and Instant Star). Jake was in the audience with co-star Lauren Collins. They did a “lightning round” where they asked Linda a few questions mainly about Degrassi and she had to say the first thing that came to mind.

My favourite personal was the first question Jake asked, which was Downtown Sasquatch or The Zit Remedy? Linda couldn’t choose, so she said both. They let her get away with that one. For those of you who don’t know, The Zit Remedy was Joey’s band on the old Degrassi show, and of course Downtown Sasquatch was Craig’s band.

I have added a few images to the gallery:

I am trying to find some video and/or photos of Jake at the Live at Etalk session with Linda Schuyler. So if anyone has any footage or comes across of any, please let me (Keira) know.
