Ellie Nash

Eleanor "Ellie" Nash is a Class of 2006 graduate of Degrassi Community School. Ellie began her freshman year in Season 2 as the new goth girl. Year after year, she gradually toned down her goth look, but still remained more or less true to herself. Due to her father Colonel Nash's absence and her mother Caroline Nash's alcoholism, she dealt with self-harming issues, but with the help of group therapy, she overcame them. She was known to have a passion for journalism. Her best friends are Marco Del Rossi, Ashley Kerwin, Paige Michalchuk and Craig Manning, for whom she harbored an unrequited crush for over two years before her feelings were eventually returned. She is also good friends with Dylan Michalchuk, Alex Nuñez and Jimmy Brooks. She was rivals with Manny Santos for the affections of Craig but it was implied that they made up. She was written out in Degrassi Goes Hollywood, in which her most notable storyline came full circle after her father returned from Afghanistan. Ellie was portrayed by Stacey Farber.
