Waterloo Road

[dbgtz]

I'd only started watching Waterloo Road with the latest season so I've been watching the whole thing from the start online. Seasons one through four were fantastic but so far season five feels really different? Did anyone else not really enjoy season five?

Probably because it introduced the newest amount of characters. I know what you mean. It's also like its kind of 2 schools and the show should have been called waterloo fosters.

I do agree in some ways. I think Season 5 was in some ways a bit more 'real' like with Karen excluding pupils and acting more like a proper Headteacher. As usually the Head, is involved in major turmoil e.g. Rachel being a Prostitute etc. So not much really happened. I think it needs to be more unrealistic and we need some more controversial scenes like the gun scene and even the science alcohol plot. I don't like Chris either, he's to perfect and boring in my eyes.

Hopefully we'll get some Steph like teachers in the next season, and it'll return to its old style. I don't think it was that bad and hopefully they'll produce some more series' in the end

Did anybody else here watch Waterloo Road Reunited?

They will probably have half a series when he's in a chair and the school will go OTT on making it disabled friendly, but in the end he will walk again. Having one of the main characters suddenly become permanently disabled has nearly always fail in soaps.

He will be fine within two weeks.

They managed to make all the props and learn all the lines for an entire school production in two weeks, after all.

Waterloo Roads returns May 4th (keeping its Wednesday slot)

Brief Spoiler from the BBC (with source)

Show Hide

A new term at Waterloo Road gets off to a noisy start when Karen arrives to discover the alarm going off and her new site manager, Rob Scotcher, taking a laid-back approach to the problem. When a Year 12 pupil abandons and then claims her baby, Karen is concerned for the girl, her child and the dark secret she's keeping.

New teachers Eleanor Chaudry and Daniel Chalk want to make a good impression, but the kids aren't going to give them an easy ride. "Chalky" is instantly marked out as a soft target, while Ms Chaudry's strict rules land Sambuca Kelly in the "cooler". What Eleanor sees as unruly behaviour in Sambuca is just a personality clash according to Tom, but her erratic behaviour gives cause for concern.

Meanwhile, new boy Aiden Scotcher has caught the eye of Jess – but it's her friend Vicki who's got his attention.

Best news I've heard all week!

[Chris]

Brilliant news, thats not long to wait at all!

[Slowpoke]

I'm nearly done watching the first five seasons too so I'll be fully up to date by then

I still find the Jonah Chesca storyline rubbish. I don't believe anyone in that situation could be so stupid to, 1) Kiss in the place where you don't want to get found out and be half undressed, 2) Carry on meeting each other when people are suspicious and 3) Just generally not being subtle :S

Nice series with Bex's story though
