Waterloo Road Series 6 **MAY CONTAIN SPOILER**

[Perdita]

Waterloo Road newcomer George Sampson has admitted that his character Kyle Stack causes trouble from the moment he joins the school.

The Britain's Got Talent winner makes his first appearance in the BBC drama later this week as his alter ego Kyle is introduced as a new pupil.

Speaking to Inside Soap, Sampson explained: "Kyle is a streetwise, short-tempered idiot. He's been expelled from all his other schools and he's really not bothered about sticking around at Waterloo Road either."

Kyle's wayward behaviour becomes apparent on his first day as he ends up clashing with fellow student Finn Sharkey (Jack McMullen).

Sampson continued: "Finn's trying to get one up on Kyle by using clever words, so Kyle tries to punch him. They're a good match because they totally wind each other up. Kyle has no interest in making friends at school because he's too proud, so he just keeps fighting back."

Discussing the brighter side of life at Waterloo Road, the actor concluded: "Kyle enjoys being naughty and he really likes being round all the girls! I don't reckon his behaviour is going to improve any time soon, though - it's more likely to get worse if anything."

Waterloo Road returns on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC One.

Waterloo Road Ep 14/20
Wednesday 23 February
Cesca's (Karen David) relationship with Jonah spirals out of controlRuby's political views land her in hot water following the arrival of a new Polish caretaker to Waterloo Road, as the popular school drama continues. Cesca, meanwhile, finds it increasingly hard to resist Jonah's seductive charm; Janeece and Ronan go head to head over a stolen test paper; and Bex tries to return to normality despite the presence of Hodge.

When Ruby witnesses Martin Dowling and Kyle Stack taunting new Polish caretaker Lukas Wisniewski about his right to work in the country, she controversially takes the side of the pupils. Keen to clamp down on this behaviour, Chris discovers that the normally intelligent Martin is emulating his father's right-ring views to gain approval. Lukas is pushed to the brink when Martin and Kyle step up their hate campaign, leaving Ruby condemned by the school and questioning her own views.

Meanwhile, Ronan's scheme to sell exam papers to the other pupils looks set to be a success, especially since Janeece can't prove that he has stolen the original copy from her office. However, Janeece proves to be more resourceful than first thought and hatches a clever plan to thwart him.

Elsewhere, Cesca's relationship with Jonah spirals further out of control as she desperately uses Tom as a decoy to cover up her feelings. And Bex's attempt to forget about her problems with a shopping trip is short-lived when an ever-determined Hodge arrives on the scene, leading to a dramatic showdown.

Excellent start to the new season I thought. I couldn't stand Kyle at first, but then totally felt for him by the end of the episode after seeing what kind of an upbringing he'd had.

Waterloo Road star Philip Martin Brown has revealed that his character Grantly Budgen will soon end up with a new-found appreciation for his colleague Ruby Fry.

Speaking on This Morning today, Brown explained that Ruby steps in to support Grantly in forthcoming scenes after his poor hygiene and unkempt appearance sparks gossip at the school.

Grantly has recently endured troubled times in his personal life as his wife Fleur is now in a care home, meaning that he now has to fend entirely for himself.

Discussing the impact on Grantly, Brown explained: "He's not used to it at all. He is the old-fashioned hunter gatherer, and Fleur was the homemaker. And now that Fleur is no longer there, he just doesn't know how to look after himself - he lets himself go and there's a personal hygiene issue, to say the least!"

He continued: "Ruby and I haven't seen eye-to-eye at all, but we develop a sort of love-hate relationship and she helps me through. She puts me under her wing and looks after me, and cooks for me and tidies up! And then I realise just what a good friend she is and has been."

Asked whether a romance could develop between the pair, the actor replied: "We'll have to wait and see - I don't know!"

Waterloo Road continues on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC One.

So it looks like Cesca is pregnant then

[xCharleyx]

Loving the Cesca and Jonah storyline, I'm guessing this will go on for a while throughout the series untill they get found out and Cesca being sacked. And I expect that she will be pregnant but will have an abortion due to the fact that everyone thinks her and Tom are dating.
