    Cool Waterloo Road Series 9 Spoiler

    Waterloo Road and Scottish soap River City will air storylines connected to next summer's Commonwealth Games.

    The shows' characters will get involved in Glasgow 2014 as part of BBC Scotland's coverage of the international sporting event, Scotland on Sunday reports.

    Christopher Aird, head of drama at BBC Scotland, said: "We will pick up the Commonwealth Games more directly in River City and Waterloo Road.

    "It is all up in the air at the moment, but I'm sure we will have at least one storyline that ties more directly to the Commonwealth Games in those shows."

    He added: "Next year is clearly a massive year up here and all eyes are going to be on Scotland."

    Adams told The Sun's TV Magazine: "It's great to be here. I love Waterloo Road, I watch it after training!"

    She did, however, admit that she was struggling with some of the basics, saying: "I keep calling people by their character's name!"

    The Olympian has previously had cameos in Coronation Street and Emmerdale. She received an MBE in March.

    Her Waterloo Road episode will air in October.

    Mark Benton will return to Waterloo Road during the show's ninth series.

    The actor - who plays popular character Daniel 'Chalky' Chalk - will return for an undisclosed number of episodes after leaving the show earlier this year.

    Co-star Melanie Hill, who plays Maggie Budgen, confirmed Benton's return on Twitter earlier today (August 5).

    Hill tweeted that she is "happy" to be back working with Benton but will be "gutted" when he leaves again.

    When asked to confirm the news of Chalky's return to Waterloo Road, she replied: "yes!! You heard it here first.."

    Chalky left Waterloo Road for a new job in London but his foster son Kevin Skelton (Tommy Lawrence Knight) decided to remain at the school.

    In January, Benton revealed that he was missing the show after filming his final scenes.

    Waterloo Road returns to BBC One for its ninth series later this month.

    Regular viewers know that series eight concluded in dramatic fashion in July when original character Tom Clarkson was killed off following Jason Done's decision to quit the role.

    As the new run of episodes begins, the school is still in mourning for Tom - especially Kacey Barry (Brogan Ellis), who is struggling to cope without her teacher and mentor.

    New faces at Waterloo Road will include teenage twins Lenny and Lisa Brown (Joe Slater and Caitlin Gillespie) and recently-qualified science teacher Sue Spark (Vanessa Hehir).

    Lenny and Lisa immediately feature in a storyline with Audrey McFall (Georgie Glen) as she suspects they are being neglected at home, while Sue finds the reality of teaching much harder than she expected.

    Elsewhere, fans will also be interested to see how Christine Mulgrew (Laurie Brett) is settling into her new role as head teacher, while deputy head Simon Lowsley (Richard Mylan) hides a secret which could affect his career and unsettle the staff.

    Scruffy twins Lenny and Lisa Brown are enrolled into Waterloo Road by their older brother and guardian Larry. They make quite an impression on their first day for all the wrong reasons. Visibly dishevelled, Lenny and Lisa's appearance worries Audrey, who barely recognises the bright, happy children she once taught at Havelock High.

    When Christine dismisses Audrey's concerns about the Brown twins, Audrey takes matters into her own hands and visits their home. Once there, a horrified Audrey discovers that Larry is growing and dealing drugs. Less than impressed, Larry lashes out at Audrey who quickly escapes to Waterloo Road. However, before she can report the incident, Larry arrives to remove the twins.

    Later at the school's football match, Audrey's private concerns become public, with far-reaching consequences for the Browns. Unbeknown to Audrey, her actions make her the target of a hate campaign by Lisa.

    Meanwhile, the school mourns the passing of Tom - especially a troubled Kacey Barry who struggles to cope without her teacher and mentor, much to the concern of Nikki.

    Elsewhere, there's a new face in school as recently-qualified science teacher Sue finds the reality of teaching harder than she thought.

    Also this week, new deputy head Simon harbours a secret which could affect his career and unsettle the Waterloo Road staff room.

    Full of nervous excitement about teaching science at Waterloo Road, Sue Spark's first day quickly descends into chaos as she fails to keep her classes focused and becomes the easy target for their jokes.

    With little support from fiancé Simon, who is determined to keep their relationship secret, Sue loses control and finds herself locked in the store room cupboard as the unsupervised class mess up her science experiment and set off the fire alarm.

    Determined to avoid Christine finding out about his relationship with Sue, Simon suggests that Waterloo Road might not be the school for her after all. Sensing that it's make or break time for both her job and her relationship, Sue makes a dodgy deal with Barry Barry.

    Meanwhile, the pupils are angry about the closure of the Breakfast Club and the cancellation of school trips due to budget cuts. When Connor leads the pupils on a walk-out in protest, Christine has no choice but to threaten her own son and the rest of the class with exclusion.

    Elsewhere, George introduces his new Mandarin teaching assistant and wife Princess, who seems immediately popular with some of the pupils.

    Also this week, the Brown twins continue their vendetta against Audrey, and Nikki offers to continue Kacey's boxing training.
