    Waterloo Road will return to screens in three weeks' time, it has been confirmed today.

    The BBC's press site lists the launch of series seven for the week beginning April 30, although the exact date and time is still to be announced.

    News of an unexpectedly early return for Waterloo Road first emerged when Robson Green recently tweeted that the show would be back on May 4 - keeping its Wednesday night slot. Green has joined the programme in the role of newcomer Rob Scotcher.

    The final episode of series six, which featured the conclusion to the Jonah and Cesca saga, aired on April 6.

    S07E01: Waterloo Road's new term begins
    Airs on Wednesday, May 4 2011 20:00 BST on BBC One

    Spoiler:
    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.

    Meanwhile, 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.

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

    Spoiler:
    Vicki (Rebecca Ryan) tries to hide her jealousy
    Year 12 pupil Martin Dunbar is branded a "perv" by his classmates when he's caught poring over a lingerie magazine and creeping around the girls' changing rooms, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive school continues. While Chris thinks it's typical teenage behaviour, the truth is more complicated.

    Sambuca and her mum have to face a harsh reality when they discover what's been causing her recent headaches. While neither is ready to admit to anyone else what's going on, Sam finds a confidante in an unlikely place.

    At the sixth form Careers Fair, the pupils consider a range of options for their future – but Grantly's cynical attitude to teaching isn't inspiring many students to follow in his footsteps.

    Meanwhile, Jess and Aiden grow ever closer, as Vicki tries to hide her jealousy from her best friend and boyfriend.

    Amanda Burton has quit her role as Waterloo Road's Karen Fisher, it has been announced.

    The actress, who was cast in the BBC drama in late 2009, has already filmed her final scenes as school head teacher Karen, The Sun reports.

    Sources told the newspaper that Burton had struggled spending time away from her family home in London while filming the programme in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

    Meanwhile, Burton's agent confirmed her departure, explaining that she had decided not to renew her contract.

    A show insider added: "It's a shame as viewers really liked her character."

    Karen was on screen throughout series six of Waterloo Road and also features in the first block of series seven episodes, which begin next Wednesday on BBC One.

    Waterloo Road's seventh series sees Robson Green join the cast as the school's new site manager Rob Scotcher, who has been tipped as a possible new love interest for Karen.

    A BBC spokesperson told DS this morning: "Amanda has made an amazing contribution to Waterloo Road playing Karen Fisher. We hope the viewers will enjoy seeing how her relationship with Rob Scotcher plays out over the next 10 weeks."

    Spoiler:

    When Amy discovers she has a stalker she feels like a celebrity – but the novelty soon wears off as things get personal and she decides to take her own revenge, as the popular school drama continues.

    But when Eleanor reveals who the stalker is, her handling of the situation gives Karen grounds for concern – and an irate parent in her office. Meanwhile, the sixth formers turn the cameras on themselves for their English project and, while Ronan uses his film to show Vicki his real feelings, Finn and Josh get into trouble over their action-packed film-making.

    Elsewhere, Rose and Tom struggle with how to tell Sam that there's no cure for her cancer, while Sam's friends try to come to terms with what she's going through.

    Janeece decides that Mr Chalk needs a makeover, and Karen realises that Rob's ambitions go higher than being the school's caretaker.

    Robson Green has teased an "awkward" romantic plot for his new Waterloo Road character Rob Scotcher.

    The actor, who recently appeared in BBC Three hit Being Human, will make his debut as the school's new site manager when the seventh series of the programme begins next Wednesday.

    Discussing the series, Green told What's On TV that Rob will find himself romantically involved with head teacher Karen Fisher - played by Amanda Burton.

    "Yes, there's a frisson that gets us together and he does ask her out to dinner," he revealed. "And yes, there are kissing scenes! But we kind of didn't go for the obvious, we went for the awkward.

    "There's something about getting to that stage of your life and the sexual pursuit becomes awkward, or stressful."
