Even tougher when you're the show's first transgendered character- but the dual role of Adam and Gracie has opened viewers' eyes, sparked discussion, and helped bring Degrassi's tenth season some of its biggest ratings yet. Jordan Todosey lets Ology inside her crazy world, and gives us a sneak peak at what's next.

What has it been like, playing one of the few transgendered characters in all of television? Is it easier to play a trans character now that you've been doing it for a few months?
First off, it is an honour just to be on Degrassi which now has a 30-year legacy. As for playing one of the few transgender characters on TV, it has been an incredible experience. It really has given me a lot to sink my teeth into and it is so fascinating to play a character with such depth. I would say that it is easier to play a transgender character now as far some of the physical things are concerned – like walking, body language and talking. On the other hand, the writers keep giving me great material to work with so I always feel challenged in such a great way. I have to say, I love Adam!
