@IndianGirl231 Sounds like you know the truth, but I posted the exec-producer's blog over IS ending.
-
I don't think this was ever posted. ExecProducer's Stephen Stohn letter to the fans about the finale, the cancellation, etc etc...Quote:
End of Instant Star
There have been so many rumours and misunderstandings about the end of Instant Star after 4 seasons.
I want to be very clear that at the time we wrote, shot and produced the season finale for Instant Star Season 4, it was everyone's intention (including the broadcasters, the actors and the producers) to continue on through Season 5.
-
IAnd in fact it was everyone's intention that Season 5 would be the final season, and we would write storylines building to a finale at Episode 513.
It was extremely disappointing to me, disappointing to the cast, and disappointing to our writers and production team when we found out that the series was cancelled and that Episode 413 would be the final episode.
-
If we had known it would not continue, doubtless the story for Episode 413 would have been much different.
At the time when the series was cancelled, I wrote a post talking about it, and did not mention how it got cancelled—there were facts that could not be made public at the time, and indeed there was no pressing reason at that time to discuss publicly why the cancellation happened.
-
In fact, even my original post about this which did not go much further than announcing the cancellation and trying to make the best of it, caused enough upset that the post was removed from the degrassi.tv site (without my prior knowledge it was being removed).
In any event it is important to me to set the record straight, and to make it clear that the cast are not to blame for the cancellation.
-
While I know that some cast members, including Alexz, have subsequently talked about how it was time to move on, those statements have been made looking back, and trying to make the best of what was at the time a disappointing situation. Yes, in retrospect for Alexz's career she now has the time to devote to completing her album which she would not have had if Season 5 had happened—and her forthcoming album is so wonderful
-
I have to agree with her devoting every waking moment to completing the album and making it even more brilliant—BUT at the time of the cancellation she had not yet signed the deal with Epic, so that was not a factor, and she was looking forward as we all were to Season 5. So it upsets me to read posts blaming her for the cancellation, when it was not on her shoulders at all.

With the passage of time, the change in format at The N has become public. Everyone now knows that almost all the other drama shows on The N were cancelled, and that The N has been introducing more comedies and reality shows in place of drama. Degrassi is a notable exception.
-
I understand completely the realities which led to the change in format at The N, and the people who run The N are fine, upstanding, responsible people and they are my friends. I know that they too were upset, but at the same time they made a business decision to change the format of the network, a change which they in their hearts felt was in the best interests of the network, and a change which I respect.
this was the best show ever! i miss it so much. i cant believe they left speed and karma homeless and jude in london and tommy just somewhere else. stupid writers.
