His Character: Craig Manning

An emo guy with looks and talent, Craig got dumped by Ashley and decided to spend the year focused on one thing -- his music career.

Manny and Ellie had other plans, however, and it wasn't long before a heated love triangle ended with Manny and Craig in each other's arms.

Later, Craig got accepted to university the same time "Downtown Sasquatch" got accepted to the Northern Sounds Showcase.

Forced to make a choice, Craig decided to do the show solo and went off to Vancouver to record, which means a long distance relationship for him and Manny.

But will the rock and roll life be all it's cracked up to be?
