Joey also apologizes for hurting Caitlin, who forgives him, and as Simon and Alexa have their first dance as husband and wife, former fiancés Joey and Caitlin share a dance as friends. Cast Production and writing During development of School's Out, six of Degrassi's actors filmed Degrassi Talks, a six-part non-fiction miniseries in which the actors interviewed teenagers and young adults across Canada about issues explored in the show. Principal photography for School's Out began on July 21, 1991. In the movie's climax, Snake, having been teased by Joey and Wheels for his seeming inability to get a girlfriend, announces Joey's infidelity by saying: "Joey spends his summer dating Caitlin...and fucking Tessa!", as Caitlin overhears, to which she questions Joey: "You were fucking Tessa Campanelli?". Yan Moore explained the use of the word "fuck" in the film: "There was a tension growing, especially between Joey and Snake. Snake had this tremendous frustration and the word had never been used in a script before. So, when Snake finally lost it with Joey, the word was included. Since Caitlin overheard the conversation, it just seemed right for her to use that totally un-Caitlin-like word." In a radio interview with Nardwuar in March 1992, Amanda Stepto, who played Spike, was asked about how they were able to avoid scrutiny from the network over using the word "fuck", to which she responded that the CBC allowed them to use the word because of the context of the scene and the nature of the situation, in which it would have made little sense to use lighter language Stepto later commented that the CBC supported a big finale for the series and allowed the writers to incorporate more risqué content. The usage of the word "fuck" marked the first time it had been said on Canadian prime-time television. The outcome of Tessa Campanelli's pregnancy was purposefully left ambiguous. Pat Mastroianni explained in 2017 that while Tessa was seen walking into an abortion clinic for an appointment, "you never actually see, as an audience, if she went through with it". Music The film featured eight songs from the debut album of Toronto-based rock group Harem Scarem. After the movie aired, Toronto radio station Q-107 received multiple requests to play Harem Scarem's music. It also featured songs from several popular Canadian artists including Gowan (the songs "Moonlight Desires" and "All the Lovers in the World"), The Box, Spoons,
