Arthur has a crush on Caitlin.

"Great"

By Jon_MW_14, Sep 19, 2011

"Dream On" is a good Degrassi High episode. I didn't like the "A" plot, but I loved the subplot. I could care less if Arthur has a crush on Caitlin. I realize he isn't my favourite character, but I find he's given the most useless plots. I would rather have Arthur have a crush on a girl that likes him back. This is the beginning of Caitlin being interested in the awful Claude character. I love the subplot in this episode. I love how Kathleen and Melanie can never get to their lockers because of bullies. I love how Kathleen uses her angriest voice and she tells off the the bullies. That's one of her best moments on the show. I give this episode a 8/10.moreless

"Good"

By Ilikedj, Dec 12, 2006

Arthur's crush is hilarious! And so realistic that the good part he never gets to. He handles it well, though. Puts the energy into their project. Caitlin kissing him on the cheek, that was totally wrong of her; she could've led him on. Okay, just my own personal pet peeve. The part with the band, it's funny how careful "sacrifices" can be made. But all their excuses are good. Wheels needed to be in counselling, and Snake shouldn't have to give up seeing his grandparents or whatever he was doing. And Joey's date with Caitlin, well, it shows all the difficulty in balancing life, which is the life of a performer. Good prelude. If I knew someone like Kathleen in the locker scene, boy, would I be proud! Someone's got to stand up for bullies who do that. And Kathleen's new boyfriend, well, Scott wasn't showing his bad side yet; just being totally charming. Playing into her longing for a boyfriend, to catch up in growing up. And the ironic thing is, he encourages her to try out for the play too.......moreless

- Kathleen: Get out of there, now. Tabi: Excuse me? Kathleen: These are our lockers, not yours. Go stand in front of your own lockers. Tabi: Hey, let me go, watch it. Kathleen: (shouting) Who do you think you are? How dare you block the lockers? We have just as much right to be there as you do! And another thing: your hairspray is polluting the environment! Get out of here, NOW!
