Theres a rumour circulating that Kim is going to return for series 4.
Starts Wednesday 7th January for a 90 minute special (8.00 - 9.30)
Episode 1
Waterloo Road opens its doors for a new term tonight and, following the fire that nearly destroyed the school, head teacher Rachel Mason is more determined than ever to get the school back on track.
Rachel's bold new initiatives include the implementation of a full extended services programme for the community and a no exclusion policy for pupils – this is the year Waterloo Road serves everyone.
However, her commitment is immediately put to the test when the Kelly "family from hell" turn up. Unknown to the school, 15-year-old Earl Kelly is a borderline psychopath and has a gun that he menacingly shows off to terrified pupils Paul and Bolton.
Elsewhere, fit new PE teacher Rob Cleaver is getting Steph, Jasmine and Matt in a lather, whilst Grantly is sporting a new look with an ill-fitting toupee.
Rachel, meanwhile, is in the process of interviewing for the head of Extended Services, and thinks Melissa Ryan is perfect for the job. Deputy head Eddie, however, is surprised with her choice, but what he doesn't know is that Melissa is Rachel's sister.
Rachel finds an anonymous note under her door informing her that there is a gun on the school premises. An evacuation is ordered and the police are called. Earl cons his little brother, Denzil, into taking the gun and Denzil is left alone, confused and scared. When a terrified Denzil comes face to face with Donte, he accidentally pulls the trigger and panic descends on the school.
Later, when having a well-earned drink with the staff, Rachel has to face Eddie's questions about the two of them and their future. Rachel, however, is adamant that there is no "them".
Finally, Tom and Davina are in for a nasty shock when they arrive home and realise that their new neighbours are none other than the Kelly family.
Waterloo Road settles into the new term as Head Teacher Rachel Mason continues to try to get the school back on track.
It's Melissa Ryan's first day as Head of Extended Services and, as Rachel's sister, she has a lot to prove. Rachel is relying on her to make the initiative work and is also keen to keep the family connection a secret. But she hasn't reckoned on Melissa's son, Philip, blabbing after being bullied by Bolton and Paul. The news spreads like wildfire and Deputy Head Eddie is furious that he is the last to know.
Unfortunately, Melissa's teaching skills are pretty poor and she has a hard time inspiring a class of adults. She loses control completely when Candice and Rose Kelly have a fight. Eddie comes to the rescue but, by lunch time, half the class has given up. Can Melissa rally the local community and encourage more adults to turn up for the class?
Elsewhere in the school, new security guard Dave develops a crush on Steph.
Later, in the pub, the sparks fly between Melissa and Eddie. It looks like Eddie may finally be able to move on from Rachel ... to her sister.
Tom's not having such a good time with the Kelly family living next door, as yet another party rages into the night...
Episode 3
Davina's reputation at Waterloo Road is at stake, as the drama set in a school continues. She is is accused of racism by a Maori supply teacher, Maaka Lacey, with an alternative approach to teaching. Their relationship rapidly deteriorates and, with just her word against an experienced teacher's, will she be able to clear her name?
Tom, meanwhile, is unable to keep his struggle with the Kellys out of Waterloo Road when a determined Earl pushes him to breaking point at school, leading Tom to question his future as Head of Pastoral Care. He suffers a further blow when Chlo and Donte announce they are selling the family home – the Kellys have driven them out.
On top of a testing day for her teachers, Rachel receives a shock that leaves her reeling when she learns that her sister, Melissa, and Eddie are an item. Rachel struggles to hide her true feelings.
Later, an ill-thought out lie from Steph to save her from the clutches of Security Dave spells the end for Grantly's marriage, and Maxine is pulling the wool over Steph's eyes when it comes to her relationship with Earl.
Tom and Davina decide to buy the house from Chlo and Donte. However, there's a nasty shock in store when they return home – a dead bird is lying on their doorstep. Earl has been busy again...
Cant wait!! :cheer: the best drama on the box
I am just glad that Davina and Rachel survived the fire! Two of my favourite characters on the show.
