[Shar]

Tariq's on a wheelchair??

[dbgtz]

Why did you have to move it BBC... why?

I'm guessing he's in the wheelchair from injuries from that van and Denzil isn't there because he's dead I assume.

[Chris]

Tariq's on a wheelchair??

Well spotted, I didnt notice that!

Thats what I had heard too.

[AlexHenry]

Me, can't ******* wait. :D I think Tariq might have got hurt trying to save Densil or something.

[Martin]

Omg, so looking forwards to this!!!! One of my favourite things to watch and I'm sure its going to be amazing! :)

[Shar]

Yeah I heard that tool

[:odey:]

The guy on the left looks hot,
I bet he's a right idiot,
The hot ones always are :/

What?! Moved to where?!

This looks interesting - the girl on the far right is looking quite '******' so it seems like she's going to have a good storyline perhaps?

I'm sure you was told this in the old thread when the last series ended. The last episode showed them in a coach/minivan going up to Scotland as that is where the new school will be. The reason they did that in the actual storyline is because they have decided to move set which will now be located in Scotland. The previously one was in the North West in Rochdale.

Oh, I thought he meant channels, lalala.

But oh, Scotland seems good though I think?

[xxMATTGxx]

Should be, this is the new set according to Wikipedia:

cant wait to see it :D

[Chris]

The guy on the left looks hot,
I bet he's a right idiot,
The hot ones always are :/

LMAO I was thinking exactly the same


What?! Moved to where?!

The shows location got moved to Greenock in Scotland :P Also I reckon that girl on the right will become friends with Scout

Edit: Sorry I had the thread open before Matt posted :(

[Tom]

Should be, this is the new set according to Wikipedia:

I think it looks good still. A new change in set is needed after some series as it would get boring having the same set over and over - it also brings in the chance for new story lines.

I actually think he's going to be alright :O

Near perfect uniform, kinda cardigan type thing? Unless he's going to have the storyline of being bullied at home and at school which drives him mad, he looks like he's going to be good?

I don't know though. I like judging characters from photos - it's fun!

[smithy1997]

I love waterloo road. Can't wait for it to come back on in September. You won't see me miss a single episode, and yeah most of them has probably died from the road accident.

[Chris]

[Amberr]

Too lazy to read through the thread, when is it back on?

[smithy1997]

Waterloo Road will be returning 23rd August 2012

[Foregetfuhl]

I am literally so excited for the return!!! I can't wait to see how the story lines are and especially with that ending for Season 7... i mean I was screaming at the TV like ah hell na!!

[:odey:]

Waterloo Road will be returning 23rd August 2012

Where was this posted? :o

[Amberr]

[Chris]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2012/34/waterloo-road.html :P

[Jordan]

Finally something to decent to watch on a wednesday night, i wonder who survived that crash!Your Wednesday will still be boring then as Waterloo Road will be on a Thursday :P

[SackRace]

hope u english guyz can understand the scottish accents

[Amberr]

Your Wednesday will still be boring then as Waterloo Road will be on a Thursday :P

OMG WHAT.

[Martin]

Will be strange it being on a Thursday again haha, had just gotten used to wednesdays!!

Will be awesome though :)

[smithy1997]

Those from the Manchester Set, will have there original accent, but the new characters will have Scottish.

[Amberr]

just seen the advert for the new series on tv... im actually so excited!!

[Chris]

just seen the advert for the new series on tv... im actually so excited!!

Oh yeah I forgot about that. There are multiple adverts which started broadcasting today. Not seen one yet though :(

Denzil is definitely dead as they have a commemorative ceremony for him in episode 2!

[:odey:]

That spoiler is gutting :@!
I don't think I'll be able to cope with that,

He was my strange crush in WR!

[Chris21ec]

I also think Mr.chalk will die the truck was too close to hitting him even if it swirved Chalkey should die thats my prediction on him.

[iBlueBox]

mr.chalk aint dead,

anyone got clips of the trailers?

[Pigperson]

I can't believe it's back, I thought they all died from that truck. It makes sense though and it is a really good idea to start in a fresh new school :P

Will

[:odey:]

mr.chalk aint dead,

I'm glad he's not dead,
He was a fab addition to the last series, <3

[Martin]

It's on tonight yay! :) Less than an hour to go! VERY EXCITED

[dbgtz]

It's on tonight yay! :) Less than an hour to go! VERY EXCITED

OH ****, thanks for the reminder :L

[wixard]

thats a bit morbid isn't it, after sambuka and everything

[Martin]

thats a bit morbid isn't it, after sambuka and everything



I feel so so sorry for Rose :( That family hasn't had the best of luck really! I really liked Denzil too its such a shame :(




Looking forwards to seeing the new characters! :D I LOVE WLR OMG WOOOO

[Chris]

thats a bit morbid isn't it, after sambuka and everything

I dont think it was always the plan. I think the reason they ended the last series with the crash was because they were uncertain as to which cast members would be able to make the move, and obviously it was a good way of explaining what happened to the ones which couldnt make it. But yeah it is a big shame, thats the end of the kellys now although there is a new character named Drew Kelly. Whether there is any relation I dont know.

[Martin]

WELL THAT WAS AMAZING!! :D SO GLAD IT IS BACK OMG

[Chris]

Bloody good first episode. I think they've got some really strong stories going and I can't wait for next week.

[Catchy]

what a bunch of psychopaths... all of them!

[Circadia]

Omg waterloo road is basically a psychiatric hospital D:

[wixard]

LOVED IT

upset it's on thursdays though as that's a night i go out :'( wednesday was better

[:odey:]

It was a bit boring at the start imo.
But it got so much better at the end,
I loved the opening sequence with Tariq though, that was good :)

[dbgtz]

"Is Rose coming?"
YES ROSE
"No she can't make it"
damn.

I like how Denzils tree is to this school as Sams was to the one in Rochdale. Still wish she lived.

[Southe,]

Heres a question.

If its filmed and set in Scotland, why did she say "Shes in year 11"? In Scotland it goes Primary 1-7, 1st Year to 6th Year. Unless thats just in Edinburgh? No idea if Glasgow is different.

Is it possible it runs on the English system as it's an academy? I'm not sure.

Also what's with all the obese people this series. ***** got what was coming to her though.

[Southe,]

Dont think thats possible, then again they may have just kept it for consistency

[xxMATTGxx]

Probably kept it for consistency

[Martin]

wow that episode was fab! Very clever what connor did there at the end. :O

Next weeks looks amazing too omg!

[Chris]

Amazing episode, loved the ending. Next week looks exciting, can't wait for that!

[wixard]

i didn't think that episode was great to be honest
that boy that kicked the ball or threw it that tariq caught was hot mmmm wish he were on it more

[Martin]

i didn't think that episode was great to be honest
that boy that kicked the ball or threw it that tariq caught was hot mmmm wish he were on it more

Do you not think connor is cute? ;D

[xxMATTGxx]

Always a lot of drama going on at Waterloo Road.

[dbgtz]

That episode was fairly good, I think I actually started raging when that bloke went to pick Tariq out of his wheelchair.

[Mat7]

Loved it! Another dramatic episode, bloody brilliant.

[Chris]

Always a lot of drama going on at Waterloo Road.

It wouldn't be Waterloo Road without it!

Another great episode tonight, I'm enjoying all the story lines so far. :D Was a bit shocked when Connor hit Christine though.

[Inseriousity.]

Still getting used to Jane from Eastenders in a scottish accent.

good episode today but who thinks a melted pen lid into a flower is romantic... LOL. connor is fit though he can sleep at my house if he wants

[Martin]

See I thought that was really cute LOL He was just making use of what he had!! It was a nice gesture and I think those two will make a lovely couple! He is rather cute though ;)


I am really liking "Jane" in this and I think she has made the character of Christine really interesting and shes a fab edition! Loved tonights ep!

[Foregetfuhl]

That Connor is lush.. like proper lush... mmm

And I said that to you earlier Mike that I just can't get over Jane speaking Scottish its just wrong in my mind... I just want to imagine her back in the fish and chip shop shouting at Ian :'(

[xxMATTGxx]

At least it's not odd for her speaking with that accent considering she was born there :P

[Chris]

Another good episode tonight. I can see Lorraine becoming a bit of a problem for Michael and eventually taking over or something.

[BOOMitsGINA]

That Connor is lush.. like proper lush... mmm



I got to agree ;)

Tonight was a good episode, love Waterloo Road! Always makes my Thursdays more interesting :)

[Red]

Omg looks like everyone is falling in love with connor tonight. AW WAS SO CUTE!!!

[Chris]

Janeeces final episode is episode 6 (Next week) :( Also, Chalky is leaving the show in episode 20 :(

I'll reply in a spoiler:

Aww Dam, I've always like the Chalky character and to be honest I like the guy who plays him as well. Seen him in many other TV shows and always enjoyed what he does. Shame that he is leaving but looking at the comments it looks like he is onto doing something else next year. Will miss him!

[wixard]

am I the only one that thinks Connors a freak
Angus is such an aaahole yet so delish mmm

[Chris]

Sian, Scout, Jade are also leaving at episode 20, and Josh is leaving soon I think but will return for a guest appearance at some point. Nicki Boston is also returning for series 8C

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s24/waterloo-road/scoop/a407397/waterloo-road-cast-updates-show-exits-and-returns.html

Why is everyone leaving :'(

[Chris]

Most characters don't tend to stick around for long :( Shame because just when you start to like a character, they disappear.

[dbgtz]

Taking bets Madi is preggerz.

I want Michael gone tbh, I don't paticularly like him. Rachel Mason 4 eva <3. Though I prefer him to that person before, she was bloody annoying.

[santa-my-nana]

I dont want Janisse to go (or however you spell it) I really like that character a long with scout

[Chris]

Tonights ep was so sad :( Janeece didn't get a very good send off. :/

[Martin]

wow that was a good episode :)

Sad to see janeece go :( felt sorry for chalky haha quite a sad ep

[wixard]

'shut up ya big virgin' made me lol so much

[Martin]

Last night was good! Feel so sorry for Imogen! That musta hurt! :( Jane beale is so fired haha!


Thought the bit with Kevin and Chalky was cute :) I've grown to like kevin a lot over the past few episodes!!!! ;)

[xxMATTGxx]

Do we know if Mr Burn will be seen in the future or is that it for him in a way?

[Andii]

Do we know if Mr Burn will be seen in the future or is that it for him in a way?

Naw I say it will keep him in it lol because ur blond doll was obsessed with getting a solicitor for him.

Knew Kevin and chalky would do that tbh lmao ask my sister when they met in ye foster place I knew it ;)

And ong Imogen I love her :( and laughed so much when it was like slap ad she slaps her back Hahahaha hope she stays in it :(

True but for the crime he committed, you don't normally get away with such things. So no idea what will happen to be honest.

[Chris]

Well his character isn't confirmed to be leaving, but who knows! Anyway this series has gone so quick, can't wait until next year!

[SackRace]

Wow is this series over? I thought they were just having a break? :(

[Andii]

Wow is this series over? I thought they were just having a break? :(

Same lmao :( fml they can't jus leave it at Imogen left like that haha

[Chris]

This was series 8A, 8B will be on early next year so we'll find out what happens then!

[Samantha]

Thought id bump this rather than another thread.

This starts again tomorrow, whos excited? I am woo.

[Chris]

I can't wait! Really excited to see the new characters and the return of Nicki Boston.

[Martin]

VERY EXCITED WOOO :D

[Mark]

[Chris]

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s24/waterloo-road/scoop/a450092/waterloo-road-gossip-on-bolton-smilies-return.html

[xxMATTGxx]

Seems like Mr Chalk has been a naughty boy!

[Martin]

WOO that was a really good episode! Was nice to see nice Nicki back again! :P

Felt sorry for Jane beale irl :(



NEXT WEEK LOOKS AWESOME, I wonder what chalkys secret is :O

[Chris]

Glad to see Nicki has finally apologised to Scout :D Next weeks ep looks really dramatic.

[SackRace]

Love Barrie, just the smile haha! I wonder what Chalky has been up too :O

[dbgtz]

Maybe he's that kids dad (somehow) :O

Btw that's clearly not it, but it will be interesting to see.

[zombies]

[Chris]

Aww felt sorry for Chalkie this episode but glad it was ok in the end. Next week looks good!!

[Samantha]

Next weeks looks interesting, Christine and Michael can't have liked each other that much really, the looks she pulled :P. Glad Chalky and Kevin sorted it out though xD.

[Zelda]

felt rly sorry for chalky throughout that tbh! Was laughing my head off with the brownies though tbh!

[wixard]

BOLTONS BACK!!!!! memories

[SackRace]

Typical Scotland with the drugs :P

[zombies]

last nights was a really good episode :)

[garriet]

thought yesterdays was really good, felt sorry for chalky but its good that him and kevin will get on better now! next weeks episode looks good :)

[Martin]

omg this ep is so dramatic! Been such a funny ep at first and now its turned quite scary! :O Really good drama though!

[Chris]

Tonights ep was the best for a while imo. Grantly was so funny ahah.

[Martin]

Tonights ep was the best for a while imo. Grantly was so funny ahah.

agreed haha, they hadn't really used grantly enough this series until tonight imo :P was so funny haha. The whole drama with the gun was brill

[Mark]

I must be the only one who think they've totally wrecked the programme? Before it was realistic enough to believe and enjoy the stories. Now it'a rubbish! Meh I miss the old Waterloo Road :(

[zombies]

loved tonights. next week :o

[wixard]

omg this ep is so dramatic! Been such a funny ep at first and now its turned quite scary! :O Really good drama though!

I NO I WAS TERRIFIED WATCHING AHHHHH
as unrealistic as it is, still think this was a real good episode

[Martin]

I NO I WAS TERRIFIED WATCHING AHHHHH
as unrealistic as it is, still think this was a real good episode

Yeah I said to Chris at the time that it was quite scary!!! Was scared someone was going to get shot haha. Best bit of drama in ages- I think the fire alarm and stuff made it more dramatic and everyone running around and stuff. And when he pushed grantly up against the window :O

I think it was the best episode in ages! :)


on another note, I'm happy that Imogen and Connor have got back together xD

[SackRace]

Next week looks fab :O! **** myself when seen Barrie in the black in her house lmao!

[Chris]

Last nights episode had a really good story to it. Next week looks interesting, I wonder what will happen to Sian.

[Inseriousity.]

lol hiding kacey as a boy, she looks nothing like a boy. how is anyone falling for that

[Chris]

lol hiding kacey as a boy, she looks nothing like a boy. how is anyone falling for that

She does a bit, when she first came into the it I wasn't sure at first

[Rabbits4Life]

SPOILER BELOW

After Kacey admitted her identity issues last week, she discovers that she hasn't got the support of her family. Mum Carol is struggling to cope with her daughter's revelation that she feels as though she is actually a boy, and brother Barry is proving to be just as difficult. The family try mediation with Sian, but it doesn't go smoothly...

Meanwhile, Barry breaks into Sian's house and steals a precious and intimate photograph of her and Michael. Causing trouble, he brings it into school and posts it around all of the corridors. Sian doesn't know who the perpetrator is, but suspects Barry to be the culprit. He then tries to humiliate her in front of the whole class, causing Sian to completely snap...

Michael is then put in a difficult position. He believes that Sian should be sacked for her actions, but his loyalty is getting in the way of following the correct procedures…

Then, Christine confronts Connor after finding Imogen's ring. She urges her son to break off their engagement. However, Connor defies his mum and tells her that they plan to go ahead with their engagement and he thinks they should be getting married sooner rather than later...

Scout's mum Tina arrives in Scotland wanting to give their relationship another go. But it ends up throwing her daughter's plans to go to university into doubt…

[Shar]

I hope tonight's episode is good. What's going to happen to Sian and is Scout going to fall for her mum's ****..once again?

[Chris]

I hope tonight's episode is good. What's going to happen to Sian and is Scout going to fall for her mum's ****..once again?

Didn't you watch the end of last weeks episode? You found out what happened to Sian then :P

I can't remember..What happened?

Omg at the spoiler.

[wixard]

OF COURSE the butch army woman is a lesbo

despite hating connor the marriage made me sad :(

not read the spoiler yet, but im terribly scared for grantley

and im gonna miss chawky and kevin together waaaaaaa

[Mark]

The days where Waterloo road was realistic and things like the spoiler would never happen. It's turning more and more into a soap!

[Inseriousity.]

turning would be putting it nicely, it's already jumped the shark several times but it's still entertaining if you ignore it. next time you watch it, have a game of 'that's so unrealistic!' and see how many times you say it lol.

[Suspective]

Its going to be interesting with Mulgrew as the Head put it that way.

I agree that Waterloo Road really is a proper soap these days, I don't know if thats a good or a bad thing. :P

[xxMATTGxx]

I still watch it regardless if some things aren't "realistic" but we watch stuff like that all the times in TV shows and films anyway :P

[Chris]

Grantly is leaving :( http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s24/waterloo-road/news/a464943/waterloo-road-exit-for-grantly-budgen-actor-philip-martin-brown.html

SCREAMS :'( THAT IS TERRIBLE

[xxMATTGxx]

Hmm it seems it wasn't his decision to leave either if you look at his twitter.

[dbgtz]

Probably evicting all the remaining English people to replace with Scots.

Kidding but what the hell are the production team thinking?!

[Chris]

Yeah it seems a little odd that they would get rid of one of the most popular characters like that. There is a new character coming soon called George Windsor who apparently has a similar personality and attitude to teaching as Grantly.

[zombies]

couldn't resist reading all your spoilers.

how dare they get rid of grantly!! :(

[Samantha]

I find it annoying that the only student who was from the old school left is Harley, I will probably miss Scout a lot as I'm used to seeing her but I can't wait for her to start in Coronation Street. I was the same with Ronan and Josh too, you grow to know the character more due to the story line on it.

Waterloo Road has some soap features, like sometimes the longer running storylines with Pheonix and Harley with their dad, Scout and her mum, things like that but it isn't a soap it's a series due to a different story beginning each time and hardly any running on. Some of the things are unrealistic but most of the time that might be why we watch it :P.

I wish Chawky was staying but the day Tom leaves I might not watch it anymore lmao.

Is the spoiler working :P?

I wish Chawky was staying but the day Tom leaves I might not watch it anymore lmao.

Is the spoiler working :P?
yeah, when you post you see it sometimes.

[Red]

Omg I wish I hadn't of read those spoilers!! no no no :( I've watched from the very beginning but feel like its going to start going downhill.
How the hell is Christine becoming head? It should be Tom >:{

[wixard]

I find it annoying that the only student who was from the old school left is Harley, I will probably miss Scout a lot as I'm used to seeing her but I can't wait for her to start in Coronation Street. I was the same with Ronan and Josh too, you grow to know the character more due to the story line on it.

i've watched from the beginning, and i think the moment the last person from the beginning of the series leaves will be the day i switch off. complete respect to waterloo road, it's my guilty pleasure! i just hate change, and i get really attached to characters and i think without these original characters it just wont be the same. also i think because i'm older, i just don't feel as attached to the new and younger characters coming in.

I LOVE YOU SAMBUKA, NEVER FORGET.

Quite a bit of news here and some quite sad :(

Waterloo Road bosses have today (April 10) confirmed that original character Tom Clarkson is leaving the show.

Jason Done, who played the schoolteacher, has already filmed his final scenes after seven years in the role.

Tom will feature in the next block of ten episodes, which are due to air later in the spring, and show chiefs are promising a memorable exit for the fan favourite.

Waterloo Road's executive producer Cameron Roach told Digital Spy today: "We will be sorry to see Tom Clarkson leave Waterloo Road, but we promise a finale that can't be missed, in order that we send this much loved character off in style.

"We wish Jason all the best for the future and thank him wholeheartedly for the energy and commitment he has given the role. He has been a big part of the Waterloo Road story."

Done added: "A massive thank you to everyone who's been involved in the making of Waterloo Road. I'm very proud of what we have achieved and the laughter we have shared."

Meanwhile, Alec Newman and Daniela Denby-Ashe have also left their respective roles as headteacher Michael Byrne and businesswoman Lorraine Donnegan.

Brian Park, managing director of Waterloo Road's production company Shed Productions, told Digital Spy: "Jason, Alec and Daniela all feature significantly in the next series and their departures will have all Waterloo Roaders on the edge of their seats."

omg thats awful news:'(

[lemons]

waterloo road is boring now anyway, was much better back in the day

[davecool656]

omg that so sad :'(

[Alex3213]

Chris;

Don't actually have a reason to watch it now with the latest cast changes, really disappointing news. :(

[Chris]

Waterloo Road is back on the 2nd of May @ 8PM!


Chris;

Don't actually have a reason to watch it now with the latest cast changes, really disappointing news. :(

I'll still watch it but it just wont be the same without Tom or Grantly.

[Samantha]

I really can't believe that, Tom was what made Waterloo Road for me seriously, he's been in since I began watching it and now he's leaving - wasn't he one of the only remaining people from before they moved, now there will only be Maggie surely and without Grantly I doubt she'll stay longer; there's also Nicky but I can't see a good story line for her if Lorraine isn't in it either. I don't see Christine running the school I just don't know how she could - the teachers left, there are only a couple left aren't there so there should be more coming hopefully. I don't think it'll be as good though as I think Michael also helped with following the storylines through and such.

[Jazz]

:( damn you waterloo road, growls

they kept giving each other 'the look' in the last few eps

[AgnesIO]

Nikki/Nicky/whatever knows the sort of person to pick :L

(making a reference to the money)

[Chris]

Thought it was a good episode to start back on. Was so obvious something was going to happen between them. :P

[davecool656]

yer was a great episode

[Aiden]

I wanted him to die tbqh.... could of been more dramatic, and the lesbian bit at the end wasn't shocking at all :L

Death in the first episode?

What would they do for the rest of the series?! :L

No idea but it wasnt very dramatic irl :L, and the guy just gave up, he didnt even have a knife or anything, it was stupid :LLL

[AgnesIO]

Did find it a bit odd Nikki/Nicky was just like "STOP"

Last time any guy got out of hand she beat the **** out of them, this time, doesn't move a finger...

Yeah, I wanted some lesbian on ugly man ***** fight haha

[wixard]

yeah but the reason for him giving up was because he realised that it was his daughter who was pushing not the boy, the boy was only trying to help her. he probably knew it all along but the boy saying it out loud kind of confirmed it for him, which sent him into shock/realisation

[Aiden]

Yeah, I know, but knowing your child was an drug addict would make you anger? Is that just me lol? I would just blame him anyways :/

[Red]

LMAO when tom was like what prompted the move from Londonderry. was half expecting him to be like ITS DERRY.
Gna watch it now. I was at my grannys last night and I couldn't rly hear it :(

[Rixion]

Everyone's leaving it's so pointless that they're not gonna just end the series... the only decent character not going is Nikki.

[dbgtz]

Yeah I kind of want Waterloo Road to stop before it gets even worse.

[Amberr]

GRANTLY CANT DIE. I WILL LITERALLY CRY IF HE DOES. :'(

[Mark]

Never liked it since they moved to Scotland. It's becoming more like a soap and a lot less realistic

[Aiden]

grantly and tom been in the most eps :S they should have n affair and then die together

[Red]

Omg that eppy was so emotional.
grantly -sobs-

[dbgtz]

That scene where Casey was, shall I say, violated, was grim.

[AgnesIO]

Was it ever realistic? :L

It was somewhat believable to school life however now it's not. A soldier coming into a school with a gun, then a pupil stealing it and using it doesn't seem believable to me. Not in the uk anyway.

No people would be allowed to just come in when they turn up. But if it was just run like a normal school it would also be boring haha

Got to agree, if you actually had a realistic school show then you may as well go and film an actual school. It wouldn't be fun or have any sort of entertainment which is why it isn't realistic most of the times.

[Chris]

Loved tonights episode. It was nice to see more from Sonya and seeing a softer side to Lorraine was good too. Need more episodes like this :D

[Martin]

[dbgtz]

Anybody know how many episodes left?

[Chris]

6 episodes left :)

Oh and just so everyone knows, it will be on Wednesday next week due to the football.

[wixard]

[Chris]

Yeah you've missed one. I recommend you go back and watch it cause it was a really good ep but if you just want to read about it then see here - http://www.waterlooroad.co.uk/2013/05/17/8-24-tan-tastic/

[Aiden]

I think thsi series is better then the prev series,... getting interesting with that one from shameless

[Samantha]

Ah missed first ten minutes now, but hopefully I'll catch what's going on.

[Red]

[Chris]

Yeah I thought that.

Does anyone else think:

Stevo will have something to do with Michaels exit?

[Red]

Yeah I thought that.

Does anyone else think:

I thought it was cause Lorraine plans to make it a fee paying school and he resigns in disgust.

[Aiden]

Yeah I thought that.

activity scream ruins the spoiler thing

and next week looks good, i want to see the more animal stuff

[Chris]

Yeah that does make sense too. Only 5 eps to go so not long til we find out.

Sorry :(

[wixard]

omg yes he is an intelligent boy and this is just completely out of character for him, ridiculous!

[dbgtz]

Love can make man do the even the most stupid of things. Plus maybe he think he's so intelligent he can outsmart him idk.

I'm basically just waiting to see if they do Grantleys probable death scene well

[Chris]

You could be waiting a while, he's in series 9 :P

[Inseriousity.]

Wow that new teacher's a devious piece of work getting students to do her dirty work!

Got to say really liking the storylines at the moment. Steve-O is unhinged so it's entertaining to watch. Poor Dynasty.

[Samantha]

Will Tom die on the operating table, or do you think that it's too obvious of a story line?

[Red]

Will Tom die on the operating table, or do you think that it's too obvious of a story line?

omg... if that happens. That would be horrible
Don't like Steveo guy. Crap version of Earl Kelly.

[AgnesIO]

Will Tom die on the operating table, or do you think that it's too obvious of a story line?

Well he isn't in the next series, so quite possible.

--

Grantley goes in the next series too, so I reckon he will survive but with complications.

[Chris]

Here is whats happening in the last episode:


Newly released from prison, former pupil Kyle Stack turns up unexpectedly at Waterloo Road. Old schoolmate Rhiannon is keen to help him enrol but Tom isn't so welcoming, frogmarching Kyle to the exit.

Upon seeing this, new deputy Simon Lowsley persuades Christine that he has the necessary skills to get through to the boy. Initially doubtful, Tom is surprised to see a change in Kyle and begins to wonder if there's more to his return to school than meets the eye.

However, things quickly turn sour when Barry goads Kyle about prison life, which leads him to lash out before running away. As everyone grows worried about Kyle's increasingly erratic behaviour, the race is on to find the missing schoolboy.

Meanwhile, as Grantly's charity auction gets into full swing, Tom is astounded by his friend's refusal to accept his kidney donation. As far as he's concerned, Grantly is being a stubborn fool and it takes strong words from Maggie to make him see sense.

But as the charity fundraising fireworks explode in the skies above Waterloo Road, dark clouds loom over the school when a clearly disturbed Kyle is found up on the roof, alone. And as all eyes turn to Tom to reach out to the troubled teen, tragedy comes calling…


I reckon Tom's gonna die!

[AgnesIO]

Here is whats happening in the last episode:



I reckon Tom's gonna die!



Typical, finishing the week I finish exams lol

[AgnesIO]

After seeing the next series cast list, I believe I have just had next weeks episode ruined for me. Woops.


Amusing episode at times tonight, I thought haha

[dbgtz]

DID NOT EXPECT THAT

[Martin]

Saw that coming, and it was so sad :'( SOBS

[Samantha]

I could tell it was coming when they were up there together :(.

[Rixion]

It's so ****** up that they killed off one of the best characters of the show... Tom :(

[Chris]

Knew it was going to happen but I was really praying for it not to. I don't know whether it was done purposely, but Toms first appearance was on the roof of Waterloo Road saving the head teacher from throwing throwing himself off the building. Rather fitting that his final appearance was falling from the roof himself.

[Inseriousity.]

An exit that wasn't someone leaving in a car... dun dun dun

[Chris]

An exit that wasn't someone leaving in a car... dun dun dun

Haha true, a lot of them do leave that way. When was the last time a teacher actually died? Pupils die on the show quite regularly but teachers dying is rare.

[Martin]

Haha true, a lot of them do leave that way. When was the last time a teacher actually died? Pupils die on the show quite regularly but teachers dying is rare.

I still remember when Izzie got stabbed and died, that was so sad :'(

[Gina]

I KNEW IT WAS GNA HAPPEN OMG
well only cos jade posted it on fb before i saw it on iplayer ;l
BUT I STILL KNEW
AHHHHHH CRYING OMG WHEN THEY WERE ON THE ROOF I SAW IT COMING THO
i hv come to the conclusion
that kyle is a boob

[AgnesIO]

I was expecting him to die giving his kidney haha

Knew he was dying, after seeing the cast list for the next series...
