Peter Michael Stone is a fictional character on the "" television series. He is portrayed by Jamie Johnston.

Character's background

Peter transferred into Degrassi in the beginning of grade 10. He is also the son of Ms. Hatzilakos, the school principal. Unlike most of the other characters, no episode has focused on his family and past life, but parts of his history can be pieced together from conversations.

Apparently, his parents divorced when his father had an affair with his intern. He spent most of his schooling in private school, but for unknown reasons, he started attending Degrassi in the 10th grade.

In the episode Tell it to My Heart it is revealed that Peter's father does not particularly care for his son (as evidenced by the fact that his bedroom is more of a storage room). This may be a contributing factor to his "spoiled kid" personality. But it seemed his father did care for him after all, in the episode True Colors when he had those hit and run charges taken off his record, but still had to face house arrest.

His character has been portrayed as an anti-hero. He is the kind of person who can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. For example, in the Season 6 premiere , he and Sean Cameron become fast friends, to the point that Peter dressed similar to Sean at one point. However, when Emma Nelson wanted a break in their relationship, he immediately suspected Sean was to blame, and got him suspended. Despite this character flaw, Peter does have good intentions, and when he makes mistakes, attempts to rectify them.

Peter Stone was introduced in Season 5, when he entered Degrassi as a new student. He was first spotted by Emma at a pool, who developed a crush on him. Peter had no interest in Emma, but rather her best friend Manny. Peter continuously tries to flirt with Manny, but she turns him down each time. After having a fight with her family (more notably, her father), Manny decides to go to a party that Peter invited her to. Later that night, after becoming intoxicated, Manny took Peter into a room where he videotaped her taking her shirt off. Later, after being rejected from her, Peter threatens to e-mail the video to the entire school if Manny won’t go out with him. After some more conflicts between the two, Peter sends the entire student body his video of Manny.

Through the season 5, Peter begins flirting with Emma, smooth talking her. At first Emma shuts him out, despite that she wants him, because of what he did to Manny. She plans revenge for what he did to Manny, so she tries to seduce him, stripping him and taking photos with her camera phone. Eventually, her plan backfires since his bedroom is a storage room, a situation she sympathizes with since she sleeps in the basement of her house. They eventually begin dating in secret.

During the end of the season, Emma and Peter become open about their relationship, which tears Emma between her best friend Manny, and Peter. By dating Emma, Peter discovers that she is suffering from a mix of anorexia nervosa and bulimia. He confronts Manny who goes with him to Emma's parents to set up an intervention to help Emma. She is then put into a hospital. Peter had been extremely supportive during all her recovery.

In Season 6 Peter began his junior year at Degrassi with a huge bang: he met his girlfriend Emma's ex-boyfriend Sean when he returned to Degrassi from Wasaga Beach. When Sean is back in town Emma starts liking Sean again, without Peter knowing. Peter then starts hanging out with Sean. Because of her feelings for Sean, Emma decides to take a break with Peter. He began noticing that Sean was trying to steal his girl and this angered him so he took action, by framing him for having pot in his locker which led to Sean being kicked out of Degrassi. Peter and Sean go against each other in a street race, ending up almost killing a man. Jay told Sean to leave and resulted in Sean being arrested for a hit-and-run accident only leaving Peter with community service and house arrest. Sean is now in jail, while Emma is still working things out with Peter.

After framing Sean by planting pot in his locker, Peter makes a big mistake when he breaks into Emma's locker like he did Sean's and leaves a mask there as a surprise. Emma doesn't realize that Peter broke into Sean's locker until Manny pointed it out to her. Emma then shoves Peter into a locker and forces him to tell the truth to her which made Emma furious with him and tells him "When you see me in class, don't look at me. When you see me in the halls, don't talk to me because you and me are done!" and gets him in trouble with his mother at the same time by revealing to her that he was there without telling her.

Later on Peter joins the Spirit Squad after Darcy advertises they could use some guys on the team. At first Manny seemed not sure of letting Peter join after what he did to her. Darcy feels that he is right for the job, so she gets Peter to pick her up which all the other boys can't even do a simple cart wheel and this impressed Manny. Now impressed by his skills, she doesn't hate him as much.

In his junior year, he began hanging with Manny and Darcy more often, which led to his secret sessions with Darcy for a photo shoot. Peter introduces Darcy to an online friend named Adams, who turns out to be an internet predator, who wants some "sexy" photos which she gives him for money. However he wanted Darcy as a girlfriend so he exposed those racy photos to her boyfriend, Spinner, which led to Spinner's breaking up with Darcy and Darcy hating Peter.

Although they were not that close, after J.T.'s death he made a slideshow for his memory at a memorial service.

Later in the year, Peter apologizes to Darcy for the online situation and the two soon become friends. He shows up to help the friendship club and brings her flowers which she uses to put on people's trays. She is impressed by his work and accepts a ride from him. When he once again lies (his license was suspended), Darcy begins disliking him. Soon Darcy realizes that Peter is trying his hardest to change and the two soon begin to date in secret.

After Darcy forgives Peter, the two begin secretly dating, hiding it from everyone by fighting and being rude to each other. Peter and Darcy's relationship becomes complicated because of Peter's house arrest. After Darcy's friend (who Darcy ditched to be with Peter) catches her and Peter in the park, she tattles to Peter's mom. Because of this Peter's parents talk about sending Peter away to boarding school to keep them apart. His mom also tells Peter to keep his distance from Darcy. Peter is about to give up but Darcy tells him that if he believes that love is the most important thing, then he would meet her at their secret make-out area. Darcy waits there and believes that he isn't coming, but as she is about to leave Peter arrives. He also tells Darcy that if his parents send him away, the only thing he can lose is her and then they make out.

Peter and Darcy's relationship is stronger than ever, but when he wants to have sex, Darcy gets angry and throws him out of her room. Peter gets drunk later and tells Darcy that he is a virgin too and that he is willing to wait until she is ready because he loves her. The next morning Darcy and Peter wake up next to each other and Darcy is naked. Darcy thinks they had sex, but Peter isn't so sure. Peter tells Darcy he thinks she might have been raped, but Darcy gets freaked out and tells him never to talk to her again. When Darcy attempts suicide, Peter, knowing how important abstinence is to her, gets her ring back and Manny tells her rape didn't count as sex.

After Darcy wants to have sex on the roof he calls her hopeless and says that he doesn't know her anymore. It seems that he was a little jealous though, when he saw Darcy making out with Johnny Dimarco on the roof. Although he and Darcy broke up in Live to Tell, when Darcy's parents send her to brat camp during Bust a Move, due to her behavior, he goes with her. He claims that she shouldn't have to go through it alone. When he admits that's why he signed up, he and Darcy have sex in the nurse's office.

In Broken Wings, Peter joins a band that Danny and Sav have started. They ask Spinner to be their drummer, but Spinner scoffs at their polo shirts, "pretty boy" looks and sappy love songs. Later, Peter suggests they get more serious and they start making more hardcore rock songs. They ask Spinner to be their drummer again, but Spinner does not want to be seen with Danny and Sav. Peter comes up with a solution- masks to conceal their identities. After getting their first song on video, it spreads through the school, where it becomes an instant hit. Peter later secretly confides to Darcy that he is the lead singer.

In the season finale, Peter receives news from his mother that they would be moving to Regina, Saskatchewan to live closer to his grandmother. Peter is upset as his relationship with Darcy was finally becoming accepted by her family and would have to end up leaving her. His father refused to have him stay with him, so he turns to Liberty's father who's an attorney for an emancipation.
