To the Degrassi producers and writers,

The undersigned wish to see an increase in the screentime showcasing the friendship between Toby Isaacs and Manuella Santos. One of the more uncomplicated friendships, we find it to be endearing, realistic, entertaining, and always enjoyable to watch. Additionally, their relationship has been consistent for six years, with some great interaction in episodes such as Back in Black and The Bitterest Pill. Their bond shows trust, a willingness to listen, and understanding. However, we wish to see more if at all possible in successive seasons, and hope this is an encouragement. Please consider using the collective talents of Jake Goldsbie and Cassie Steele in future episodes. Thank you.

From the beginning, Manny has been able to get a read on and connect with Toby in a way that really no one has been able to, not even JT. From filling in a clueless Emma to Toby's hopeless crush, to offering him a shoulder to cry on with the deaths of his two best friends to even just warning him of not making the same mistake she did by overcrowding his girlfriend, Manny has always been there when needed for Toby- no matter what their social situation may have been at the time. On the flip side, Toby has shown a kindness and loyalty to his friends over the years, whether they deserved it or not. While he may never be the

Friendship should be based on mutual appreciation, understanding, compassion, and openness. Toby and Manny have all these qualities and more. That's why the writers should give them more. They're realistic because they don't argue as much, and they're definitely my favorite male/female friendship on the show. On the romance front, I think it's more than possible that their friendship can grow into a touching romance, no matter the length of the actual relationship. Most qualities you can find in their friendship (comfort, trust, counselling), you often find in successful romantic pairings. Cassie and Jake work as a great team, and I believe they deserve more, together and apart. Their chemistry is alternately comedic or sweet, and always natural. Manny hasn't stood by some of her boyfriends, but she's stood by him, and Toby doesn't talk to too many people, but he talks to her. From Mother and Child Reunion to the Bitterest Pill, Tobanny/Spepper has grown up so much, and we've grown with them. We'd like to see them grow in other ways. Thanks!

These two are great. I have loved all the fab (JT, Emma, Toby, and Manny) since day 1. Manny aand Toby lost a great friend and need each other.

First off, I want to start by stating that I sincerely love watching and being able to produce clear similarities between the lives of my favourite Degrassi characters, as well as be so different from them!Toby Isaacs, is my favourite

Toby and Manny, be it friendship or something more, is worth exploring. They pretty much grew up together and yet their screentime is minimal.

I think Toby and Manny have an adorable friendship. Its clear after you watch certain episodes that she supports him and notices him when he thinks nobody else does. Like when she told off JT for him in Back in Black or when she noticed that he had a crush on Emma in season 1. Plus after Toby kissed Liberty, they were so cute and funny together. Lol. They should definitely get more screen time together. I personally think Toby should get more screen time in general...and that you should put Jake Goldsbie back on the opening credits. He's been there since the beginining.That is all.

Having Toby romantically involved with Manny could really show how she's come full circle and also explore some of Toby's insecurities since he'd be dating one of Degrassi's hot girls. It could really be a nice love story, since they are both from different social circles; kind of a west side story thing. Toby probably thinks of her as this pretty girl who has it all and Manny thinks of herself much less at times. Toby probably thinks he's just a geek who’s unlucky in love while Manny thinks he's the type of guy who's got his future figured out and has all this stability. To have them discover these things about each other could make for a nice message on how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Toby and Manny are such romantics, daydream believers. You know that Toby knows how to treat a girl right and that would be a serious upgrade for Miss Santos after she's dated Craig Manning. I really believe that he's the type she should date and the fact that he's not some heartthrob makes it even better and I'd like Manny much more for wanting more than a cute guy in a band.

I adore Toby and Manny as characters (and the younger grade in general) and feel that they do not get the screentime they so rightly deserve. Jake Goldsbie and Cassie Steele are amazing and deserve far more.

Toby and Manny would be a real cute couple or at least give us a storyline on their friendship.
