Interview with Sarah Barrable-Tishaeuer (Liberty on Degrassi) - Page 2

Are you at all similar to your character, Liberty?

Yeah, I'm a very driven, independent person. I'm very stong, like Liberty is. But I would say I have a bit more fun than she does (Laughs). I don't take myself as seriously as she does.But there is definitely similarities between us.

What was your first reaction whe you found out Liberty was pregnant?

As an actor, it is a really great experience to be able to have a more dramatic role, but at the same time, I know Degrassi has always been tackling issues that many other television shows wouldn't. So, it was a good opportunity for me and I think a good opportunity for Degrassi to showcase that on the show. [It] shows teens what's happening and to, hopefully, support people going through it that are. So, I think Degrassi is at the forefront of not sugar coating issues that real teens are experiencing.

In the following season, will we see more of Liberty's pregnancy storyline or is it pretty much wrapped up?

You will definitely see a continuation. She is still struggling with the decision she's made. There's going to be a new character coming in that might cause some conflict. That's what to look forward to in season six.

What is the funniest thing that happened on set?

Funniest thing? Well, Ryan Cooley, who plays J.T., and I have a blast. We always have so much fun. We just shot a scene where he had to have five pieces of gum in his mouth and still try to carry out a conversation. That was pretty funny. We always have a good time. I really can't pinpoint any funny moment because, in almost six years of shooting, there's pretty much good times all the way through.

If you could be someone other than Liberty, who would you want to be?
