EMMA NELSON BY: MIRIAM MCDONALD

In Holiday Road, Kelly and Emma stop at Degrassi to raise awareness for their Re-Cycle project. Emma and Kelly stay over the Simpson-Nelson residence and sleep on the coach together. Kelly is seen playing video games with Connor and Jack. Kelly is annoyed how he can never do things he wants, it's always Emma's way. After a chat with Spinner, Kelly gives into temptation and eats meat. Emma is upset to find out that Kelly cheated on being a vegan.

During the Degrassi season 9 finale movie, Degrassi Takes Manhattan, Emma returns to Toronto for the summer before she begins schooling at Toronto University for Environmental Studies in the fall, and gets a job at The Dot as a waitress for Spinner Mason. While Spinner is at a pool party thrown by Declan Coyne, he overhears long-time girlfriend Jane Vaughn talking to Holly J about how she successfully cheated on him with Declan and they were now happily past it without him ever having to know. Enraged and hurt, Spinner breaks up with Jane and punches Declan before leaving the party. However, upon returning to The Dot he finds a fire in progress. Thanks to encouragement from Jay Hogart and best friend Manny Santos Emma tried to use the sandwich grill, unfortunately starting a fire that soon escalated, causing The Dot to blow up.

Set on making it up to Spinner, Emma works to regain his friendship and make up for the mistake, playing a basketball game with him and offering to listen about his problems with Jane. In the process of trying to cheer him up with Jay and Manny, they take Spinner to a Niagara Falls casino for some fun. Teaching him blackjack, the two win over $2,000 thanks to her 'take chances' view on the game and share their first kiss after Spinner declares that the night can't get any better.

The following morning, via a drunken night of spontaneity, Emma and Spinner wake to find they married at a casino chapel and that it's all completely legal. Confused and not sure what to do, they consider divorce, even going so far as to meet with a lawyer with the papers needing only their signatures, but decide that some good could come from their accident, admitting that they love each other, and agree to throw a beach wedding with friends and family.

After some confusion on whether or not Spinner really wants to marry her, Emma's convinced he doesn't love her, like she does him, and the second wedding is cancelled. However, while 'remodeling' The Dot with a sledgehammer, hurt that what he and Emma had is already over, he finds out that not only will The Dot be repaired thanks to insurance but realizes just what he could lose by not fighting for Emma. Running all the way to her house, Spinner tells her, in front of Manny and Emma's parents, that he wants their forever to start now, giving a heartfelt speech and finally asks her to marry him. Asking both her mother and step-father to walk her down the aisle, Emma receives their blessing to marry Spinner.

Finding out about their nuptials through Spinner, Jane decides to come back from New York to stop him, believing he's making a huge mistake. Driving back from New York with Holly J. and Declan, she races back to Toronto, only to have her cohorts second-guess crashing the wedding. When they try and talk her out of it, she even lets them believe she's changed her mind, but then steals Declan's car to continue her wedding-crashing. However, when she enters Spinner's tent as he gets ready for his wedding, she stops herself, realizing that he's happy and instead of ruining his wedding and asking him to return to New York with her, she asks for forgiveness and tells him to be happy with Emma, kissing him goodbye.

Happily, Emma and Spinner recommit to each other, celebrating their nuptials amongst supportive friends and family.
