Waterloo Road

One of the best TV shows on BBC at the moment came to the end of its second series last night and it was fantastic. I really hope that Izzie isn't dead because series 3 won't be as good without her. I also hope that Andrew doesn't go to Rwanda becuase we saw a much better side to him last night.

Anyone else a fan?

Just found this thread - well it's been back on our screens for about 6 weeks already! I do watch it, it's quite good, although I think some of the things that happens are a bit too far-fetched...

Haha, how ironic, I haven't watched a single second of series three because I forgot the first 3 weeks and just lost the thread of it by week 4.

BRING IT ON!!! I bloody love Waterloo Road! I've been waiting for the new series for aaaaaaaaaaaaages! :-D

*Listens to MGMT's Kids*

Can't wait!

It's the best program on Wednesday evening besides the Apprentice. I'm eagerly waiting the fifth series premiere! :3

Well hat was good! :shock:

Ok, I LOVE Danielle's hair! It really suits her!

Great start to the new series! I want to see next week's already! :lol:

I recognise that teacher who fainted and fell down the stairs. Do you know where she is from?

Hope Springs?

I was trying to work out where I'd seen that cookery teacher (Ruby Fry) before and then half way through the program it hit me - she was the nurse in Psychoville!

IT IS! Wow, that was odd. She was a completely different character in that!!

I thought I may have seen her before but I wasn't sure if I had or not. There had to be at least one from Psychoville didn't there.

I think it's hilarious how almost everyone who is/was in Waterloo Road has been recognised for being in something else. (Either that or I watch too much TV).

Like about 2622515620154213514 million of them all relate to Coronation Street in one way of another.

Steph (Denise Welch) - played Natalie Horrocks (later Barnes) in Coronation Street.
Kim (Angela Griffin) - played Fiona Middleton in Coronation Street.
Izzie (Jill Halfpenny) - played Rebecca Hopkins in Coronation Street, who had an affair with Martin Platt (Sean Wilson) who even he was in an episode playing the role of one of the pupil's dad!
Donte - portrayed by Adam Thomas whose brother is Ryan Thomas who plays Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street!
Newbie Siobhan Mailey - played by Phoebe Dynevor, daughter of Sally Whittaker who plays Sally Webster in Coronation Street!
Rachel (Eva Pope) - played Tanya Pooley in Coronation Street from 1993 to 1994.

There's probably more. It wouldn't surprise me if Vera Duckworth or Bet Lynch turned up outside the school next! :laughing

And if it's not Coronation Street they've been in then it's either Holby City, Casualty, Emmerdale or something else! Heck, I even recognised that new teacher (Jo Lipsett). She was in Sugar Rush! And also that makes it two Strictly Come Dancing winners who have been in/are in Waterloo Road now! Make room for Alesha Dixon! :lol:

Yes I'm really sad for knowing all that.

If Tom Chambers had been the head at my school, I would have found any old excuse to be in trouble. Am loving the fact he is playing an "baddie". Has gone from charmer on Holby to mr nice guy on Strictly and now a total [take your pick of appropriate words here]. Waterloo Road is the best thing on television (I dont watch any of the other soaps) and I am so pleased it is back. Roll on 8pm tonight.

Spoiler for this week:

Quote:

Rachel accompanies Lindsay to court for her mother's trial, as the school drama continues, but Marion's case isn't going well.

In the observation gallery Michaela and Ros are horrified to learn about Lindsay's sexual abuse. After a grilling from the prosecution, Lindsay breaks down in the witness box and finally confesses to Rachel the real events of that fateful day.

Back at school, Steph warns Kim to be wary of men like Max Tyler. Hearing about the criticism, Max begins a campaign to have Steph sacked, while insinuating that it's actually Jo who wants her out. When Jo is nominated for an Outstanding Teacher Award she assumes it's down to Max. He accepts her gratitude, despite the fact that he had nothing to do with it.

Jo then discovers that Max lied about her nomination as part of a ruthless plan to bring about Steph's downfall. Infuriated by his deception, she backs Steph, even walking out in sympathy after Max has fired her. Max then tries to enlist Philip's help to spy on Steph in a desperate attempt to gather evidence of her incompetence. When Phillip refuses, events get out of control and a furious Max grabs Phillip and causes him to fall and hurt himself on a filing cabinet.

Elsewhere, Rose ends her relationship with Tom, realising that, as Head of Department with a new son to take care of, she can't fight to be one of his priorities any more. Rachel returns to school and, furious with Max, she reinstates both Steph and Jo. Max then trashes Rachel's desk – he's obviously starting to lose control.

I really can't wait!

Tonight was epic! I almost thought Rachel was leaving then!
