The Best Years follows orphaned and full-ride scholar, Samantha Best (Charity Shea, “Alpha Dogâ€Â) as she starts her freshman year at the prestigious Charles University in Massachusetts. Samantha has been shuffled through the foster care system her entire life and is finally looking forward to a future of new opportunities and friendships. She’ll have to contend with the ins and outs of college and mingle with a new world of ‘frenemies’ as she struggles to find her own identity. Along the way she will meet new roommate Kathryn Klarner, (Jennifer Miller) a rich socialite from one of the most prominent families in the mid-west, Dawn Vargas (Athena Karkanis) child actor who trades in Hollywood for college, and Devon Sylver, (Brandon Jay McLaren “She’s The Manâ€Â) a fellow scholarship recipient and star basketball player who has caught her eye. With her new dysfunctional family and a part-time job at Boston’s hot spot Colony, Samantha will find herself juggling a lot more than just academics.
I have always been a huge fan of all the Degrassis, so I am looking forward to The Best Years that was created by one of the Degrassi writers! So tune in tonight to The N at 8p for Degrassi and 8:30p for The Best Years!!!
