TeenNick had no comment on Steele's exit from the series, and we've yet to learn how the show will address Tori's absence in the new season.
Longtime fans of Degrassi will remember Alex, who is the sister of Degrassi original Cassie Steele (most recently seen on the short-lived and underrated CW series L.A. Complex), from her original role as Craig's (Jake Epstein) cute little half-sister, Angela. She returned to the series in the new role of Tori in season 11.
"It would have been cool to come back as Angela, but I'm so excited for Tori!" Alex told us at the time. "I was auditioning at the time, and they put up a character Tori, and I auditioned and got the part. It was just a regular audition. They didn't contact me or anything."
