Waterloo Road is running a new sexual health initiative which includes a confidential emergency contraception service, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive school continues. This causes consternation among parents and staff alike. Ronan and his girlfriend, Sarah, are concerned; their condom broke during sex, but while Ronan wants Sarah to take the morning-after pill, she's too mortified to go to the nurse.

Jess also has cause for concern: her promiscuous behaviour has resulted in her needing the morning-after pill – again. Unable to go to the nurse herself, Jess persuades Vicki to get the pill for her. Vicki reluctantly agrees, but fails when the nurse realises she's not there for herself. The two girls get into a huge fight which results in Vicki revealing Jess's promiscuity in front of Chris. Chris is concerned for Jess's welfare but she misinterprets this as a sign that he still cares for her.

It looks like Josh and Lauren are going to become an item but Josh is looking at someone completely different when the pair finally kiss. Elsewhere, Karen and Charlie acknowledge his affair, although he decides he wants to give their marriage a go if Karen is willing. And Janeece admits to Tom that she doesn't want her baby.

Hey guys, just started on here, but wanted to say how much I loooovve Waterloo Road. I started watching it from the 2nd series and got hooked on it when Leigh-Ann Galloway was bullying Mika and Bret first came to the school! I thought that was a great storyline as I was bullyed online when I was younger and it was really true to life! What does everyone else think? Can you remember it?xxx

I love Angela Griffin! She is so down to earth and sweet!

Tensions are running high at Waterloo Road as the Fishers struggle to stay united on the annual celebration of Bex's birthday, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive school continues.

In addition, the arrival of a new, gay student sparks confrontation and unearths some difficult truths.

Reluctant to return Lauren's advances, an increasingly confused Josh directs his frustration towards new student Connor with a homophobic insult. But a much deeper issue is revealed when he tries to kiss Finn, who is disgusted with his friend's behaviour and quickly spreads word of it throughout the school. Following a fight, the two friends are forced to explain their actions to Tom and Charlie. However, Josh denies the kiss ever happened, much to Tom's relief, and later tries to prove everyone wrong by getting physical with Lauren.

Meanwhile, the Fishers have their annual celebration planned on the eve of Bex's birthday, an event that causes an explosive divide in the family. Jess finds the celebration morbid, despite Karen's insistence that it should continue, causing Charlie to reveal his true feelings and throwing his marriage with Karen into further turmoil.

Back at Waterloo Road, Vicki struggles both to care for her sick father and to keep up with her school work and resorts to blackmailing Chris with the knowledge of his relationship with Jess in order to get better grades. And Marcus receives a surprising offer from Karen, despite his continuing criticism of Ruth and Jonah's education at the school.

Elsewhere, Ruby and John are running out of options and turn to interviewing potential surrogate mothers – a fact that Janeece discovers, much to Ruby's dismay. However, the interviews are not a success and all seems lost until hope arrives in the form of an unexpected final applicant.

Spoiler:

The drama from Waterloo Road continues as Janeece and Ruby come to blows over the subject of motherhood, while Marcus's first day almost ends in disaster when his proactive approach to teaching uncovers a shocking secret about Ronan's home life.

After catching Ronan selling DVDs in class, and brimming with ideas about improving parent-teacher relationships, Marcus takes it upon himself to visit Ronan's father at home.

A seemingly upstanding businessman, Ronan's father is upset that his son is selling his possessions, and both he and Marcus assume Ronan must be in some sort of trouble. However, it soon becomes clear that Marcus hasn't grasped the full picture and Ronan is in fact saving the money to flee Rochdale and escape his father's illicit family business. Events reach boiling point in the corridors of Waterloo Road and Ronan is forced to make a decision that will change his life forever.

Meanwhile, Tom witnesses his son being picked on by Finn and persuades Josh to help out at his lunchtime self-defence class, an exercise that only serves to add to Josh's humiliation. Later, away from his father's interference, Josh is finally able to confront Finn and ask for his acceptance and friendship again.

Back at school, Ruby relentlessly scrutinises Janeece's diet and lifestyle, while Janeece does some digging for herself and discovers that Ruby may not be the perfect mother she pretends to be. The pair call a truce and agree to be totally open with each other from now on. However, there is one subject Ruby can't bring herself to talk about, leading to an embarrassing forfeit in the staff room. Finally, a jubilant Janeece proposes a radical solution to help her and Ruby through the pregnancy.

im much preferring this series to the last one. I think that the characters are more likeable except for Jess, shes awful, but Linzey cocker is playing the part brilliantly! im loving Janeece being back as well, think that the way she is with karen is so sweet,

Am I correct in thinking that both French teachers are gone? I miss Steph already. Don't miss the other one, can't even remember her name !!

Spoiler:

Cesca is drawn into a complicated situation that threatens to end her career, as the drama set in a comprehensive school continues. Meanwhile, Grantly's increasingly slovenly behaviour causes concern for Ruby, who is facing her own problems in the form of Janeece and John's blossoming friendship.

Cesca's honest approach in her drugs-awareness class backfires when Sam comes to her asking for money to buy drugs. Sam's intentions are good, however; she wants to buy the drugs from Amy and Lauren and then throw them away in order to protect her friends. The ever-manipulative Amy doesn't trust Sam and hatches an elaborate plan to frame her. Facing exclusion, Sam relies on the honesty of her best friend, Lauren, while Cesca's reputation lies in tatters as Karen struggles to unravel the truth.

Elsewhere, Harry's bullying gets worse, despite him bravely laughing it off. Ruth demonstrates how he can stand up for himself, pushing Harry into action and forging a new friendship. Meanwhile, an exhausted Grantly falls asleep during school hours leading Ruby to confront him about his wellbeing. Ever proud, Grantly shrugs her off but is forced to reveal the difficult truth when an unexpected visitor turns up at Waterloo Road and the full extent of his troubled home life becomes clear.

Ruby also has her own problems to contend with. As John and Janeece continue to get on like a house on fire, she wonders where the spark has gone in her marriage. It's a question that leads to a rather unconventional solution.

When Finn discovers that Harry has sabotaged his plans for Jess to sleep over, he exacts revenge with a day of relentless bullying and chances upon Harry being sick in the toilet. Events reach a climax when Harry sinks to the bottom of the pool during a swimming lesson, a cry for help that leads both him and Finn to Karen's office.

At the Interschool Debating Contest, Ruth is the school's strongest entrant, enjoying the backing from her fellow pupils, particularly Lauren and Amy. Enterprising Ronan sees a money-making opportunity and takes bets on the contest, placing himself as a rank outsider with his own entertaining yet unorthodox form of debate. Under the expectant eye of Marcus, Ruth takes to the stage under pressure, while Ronan looks set for a windfall – but things do not go quite as planned.

Meanwhile, Grantly struggles to cope with his wife's Alzheimer's, a matter that becomes worse when he returns home to an unexpected welcome. Despite his desperation, an ever loyal Grantly promises Fleur that he won't put her in a care home and continues to shrug off Ruby's growing concern.

The BBC has commissioned a new online Waterloo Road spinoff.

Waterloo Road Reunited will focus on former characters from the drama, including Bolton, Michaela, Janeece, Philip, Aleesha and Paul.

The project is expected to include a mixture of episodes, fictional social media networks, fan sites and audio.

BBC Drama's multiplatform commissioning executive Sarah Clay said: "Unlike most dramas, Waterloo Road is unique in that every year popular characters have to leave the show because they leave school.

"This leaves Waterloo Road's massive online fanbase with a natural thirst to find out what happened to the likes of Bolton and Michaela. We wanted to give fans a chance to follow their lives online. The video will focus on events that bring the ex-pupils together, but the story extends beyond video, allowing the audience to follow their lives as if they were friends with them on Facebook."

Waterloo Road Reunited is scheduled to launch in Spring 2011. Waterloo Road is expected to return to BBC One in the New Year.

Meanwhile, Bex Fisher continues to hide the details of her disappearance as she begins her first day back at school.

In response to the boys' poor exam grades, Karen and Chris introduce a new single-sex teaching initiative, much to the disdain of staff and pupils. Especially unimpressed is the formidable new Head of Pastoral Care, Adanna Lawal, who rallies the rest of the staffroom into action against the segregation.

Elsewhere, a dangerous attraction begins as Cesca tutors Jonah in Spanish lessons, and Grantly's increasingly dishevelled appearance draws attention among staff and pupils.

When Janeece picks up Year 10 pupil Billie Taylor on her way to school, she notices that Billie's mother, Laura, is acting as primary carer for Billie's baby, Brook. Concerned that Laura is trying to take the baby away from Billie, Janeece takes matters into her own hands – against the advice of Chris and Adanna. Events spiral out of control between mother and daughter and it becomes difficult to tell who has the baby's best intentions at heart...

Meanwhile, staff and pupils alike are beginning to notice Grantly's unkempt appearance, spurring Ruby and Tom into action with a cleverly planned, covert clean-up operation.

Elsewhere at Waterloo Road, Jonah receives some tutoring from Cesca and discovers that he is the only student to attend her lunchtime Spanish lessons. It's an extra-curricular activity that unearths a dangerous attraction.

The Radio Times says the 2nd Feb at 8.00pm as well

George Sampson has admitted that he is nervous about watching himself on Waterloo Road.

It was revealed last year that the Britain's Got Talent winner was joining the cast of the BBC drama as new student Kyle Stack. Sampson will make his on-screen debut when the show returns from a break next week.

"I'd done bits here and there. I'd trained as an actor, but not done anything on screen," he told What's On TV. "StreetDance was the biggest thing I'd been a part of before Waterloo Road."

Asked if he had watched his episodes yet, he said: "No, not yet. I'm not sure I want to, I feel a bit nervous!"

The 17-year-old went on to praise the show's "welcoming" cast.

"Normally, in my other jobs, I turn up, work for the day and then leave," he said. "Waterloo Road is different as you see everyone every day for months and become friends. Everyone in the cast and crew are lovely."

Waterloo Road returns on February 2 at 8pm on BBC One.
