‘Ripple’: The ‘Degrassi’ Star Cameo You Might Have Missed & Sweet Meaning Behind It

If you were basically recreating the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme while watching the Ripple Season 1 finale, then you’re not alone. For all the Degrassi: The Next Generation fans out there, Jake Epstein (aka the one and only Craig Manning) pops up briefly in the finale episode of the new Netflix series.

After Claire (Vanessa Smythe) accidentally burns her window curtain, the fire department is called to her apartment building. While she’s outside waiting, a new tenant named Jack (played by Epstein) walks up beside her. It’s his first night in the building.
