    Waterloo Road Series 6 **MAY CONTAIN SPOILER**

    Denise Welch has announced that she is hoping to return to Waterloo Road for two one-off episodes in the New Year.

    In August, the 51-year-old actress confirmed that she had quit her role as French teacher Steph Haydock on the BBC One school drama. The Loose Women star's decision means that she will not appear as a regular cast member on the forthcoming sixth run.

    Reflecting on her choice to move on, Welch told The People: "I have loved it, but the problem is they plan to start filming another series straight after the latest one, which means I would be signed up for 12 months. It would effectively have meant me giving up Loose Women. I just didn't want to give up that side of my life.

    "Also, I have my autobiography out next spring. I need time to finish it and promote it. The producers understood and they accepted my decision with good grace, but it was still very tough and I will be sad to go."

    She added: "Having said that, they have asked me to come back in January for a couple of one-offs and if we can make that work, then I will be more than happy to do that."

    Welch can currently be seen in Waterloo Road's fifth series, which airs on Wednesday nights on BBC One.

    Angela Griffin has confirmed that her Waterloo Road character will not bow out of the show in dramatic fashion.

    The actress confirmed last year that she was leaving her role as Kim Campbell on the BBC drama in order to concentrate on other projects.

    Speaking to What's On TV about how her exit will work, Griffin explained: "When the next series of Waterloo Road comes on, I'll be in it - I've shot another ten episodes. But after that, [Kim leaves]."

    Asked whether her alter ego's final storyline will be explosive, she replied: "No, it's not. It's not going to be dramatic. I don't die, I can tell you that much!"

    Griffin is currently presenting talk show Angela and Friends, which airs as part of Sky1's daytime schedule.

    Denise Welch's character Steph Haydock is also leaving Waterloo Road this year because the actress wants to concentrate on Loose Women and her autobiography.

    Spoiler:
    Kim and Chris come to blows over his introduction of an APU (Advanced University Preparation) scheme for Ros, the school's brightest pupil, as the drama set in a Rochdale school continues.

    Kim believes the scheme should be open to everyone, but Chris thinks it's cruel to build up pupils' hopes of getting into a top university if their grades aren't strong enough.

    It's a battle of wills, won when Michaela stages a protest demanding to be allowed on the scheme and Rachel opens it up to everyone. However, Michaela soon learns she's not cut out for the rigours of academic life and Kim is left lecturing Chris on their need to address the aspirations of all Waterloo Road's pupils.

    Elsewhere, year 10 pupil Aiden Keen has a bad attitude and a tendency to blame every slight or joke on the fact that he's very overweight. When Kim confiscates snacks from him during lessons, Aiden sneaks back into her empty office to retrieve them. Caught in the act, Aiden goes on the defensive and persuades his doting mother to lodge a formal complaint against Kim, suggesting she's bullying him because of his size. Rachel gets involved but it's not until Mrs Keen sees her son's attitude towards his peers and teachers, that she realises she's spoiling Aiden rotten and endangering his health by letting him eat junk food all day.

    Rachel hires a new head chef to double up as Waterloo Road's healthy school coordinator which puts Ruby's nose out of joint. In addition the successful and extremely well-qualified candidate, Adam Fleet, turns out to be a welcome blast from Rachel's past....

    Josh (William Rush) celebrates his birthdayIt's Josh's birthday and Tom is planning a party, as the drama set in a Rochdale school continues. Josh and Lauren's flirting picks up pace, only to come to an abrupt end when the secret of Lauren's large birthmark on her back is revealed to the whole school. Totally humiliated and desperate, Lauren steals hydrogen peroxide from the science lab to try to bleach the birthmark away.

    Later, in an attempt to earn brownie points with Rachel, Ruby organises a clothes-swapping event at school for students to bring in old clothes and swap them for new ones. However, she abuses her position and takes the best clothes for herself to sell online. When she's caught, Rachel makes it clear that if she's not willing to ask for help, then she's on her last warning.

    Adam sets about making sweeping changes in the canteen, much to Rose's annoyance. Nevertheless, his new-style "sit down" meals prove successful in getting the students and staff to talk and socialise over a healthy meal. Despite the success it is clear that he needs to be less bullish in his methods. When Rachel comes to discuss this with him Finn locks her and Adam into a store room, giving the pair plenty of time to catch up on old times.

    Meanwhile, Grantly claims he is depressed in an attempt to get out of supervising an overnight trip, only to be quickly sussed by Kim. Sambuca tries to get Bolton's attention, and Steph makes a romantic connection of her own with the charming Oliver.
