Any more spoilers yet Mr Wavey

From the BBC Press Office:

Episode 4/20

Tom's feud with the Kelly family intensifies when he becomes convinced that Earl Kelly is leaving dead birds on his doorstep, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive school continues.

To ease the situation, Eddie organises a falconry day at the school, but when one of the birds goes missing, there seems to be only one explanation – Earl has stolen the bird to get back at Tom and Eddie.

Determined that Waterloo Road can help the Kelly family turn themselves around, Rachel attempts to help Rose Kelly give up drinking and get a job, while trying to persuade Marley that he can't be responsible for the family for ever. Flick is also convinced that she knows what's best for Marley – it's being with her and competing for the post of Head Boy. Marley is not so sure, who would vote for him with his crazy family?

Meanwhile, romance is in the air at a school speed-dating event – can Fleur and Grantly finally bury the hatchet, and will Steph succumb to Dave's charms?

Rachel questions Melissa about whether her blossoming relationship with Eddie is moving too fast, but Rachel's joke about moving in together sounds good to Melissa, who asks Eddie.

Episode 5/20

Head Of Extended Services Melissa Ryan has organised a drugs awareness initiative with voluntary tests for the senior year pupils, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive school continues. But school governor Ralph Mellor has his own agenda and plans to use the tests to get Marley Kelly kicked out of the school and thus moved away from his daughter, Flick – even if it means tampering with the results.

What follows sees Ralph's hatred for the Kelly family grow as he becomes more determined than ever to destroy them. He places a call to Social Services, which will have devastating effects.

Meanwhile, with her dad's plans to separate them having failed, Flick meets Marley after school. She loves him more than ever, but Marley has some shocking news, leaving her heart-broken.

I have to say despite losing so many original characters its still remained consistently good. enjoying it so far. Steph's opened a can of worms hasn't she? haha

Episode 6/20

Having applied to be an emergency foster carer, Matt Wilding may be biting off more than he can chew with his first ward, Sambuca Kelly, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive continues.

It's not long before her reprobate dad, Reynold, pitches up wanting Sam to stay with him. However, it's all part of his secret plan to get back in with Rose, and he's incensed when Sam wants to continue to stay with Matt. Reynold and Earl Kelly take their revenge on Matt's flat, warning Sam that, unless she returns home with them, Matt will receive similar treatment.

Meanwhile, Donte has launched his latest venture, Donte Charles Boxing Promotions, and has organised an underground match between Waterloo Road, represented by Bolton Smilie, and a rival school. With Donte's debts spiralling out of control, the boxing match offers a quick way to earn some cash. But can he continue to keep the teachers in blissful ignorance of the illegal match?

Back at the Kelly household, Rose appears resigned to having Reynold back in her life, even though she knows he's bad for her and the kids.

Episode 7/20

A loved-up Eddie tries to keep his mind on the job, but his day gets hijacked by an argument between Danielle Harker and her father, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive continues. What starts off as a debate about home-schooling versus state education soon escalates into a domestic dispute, fuelled by a misunderstanding between Danielle and Aleesha.

Elsewhere, romance is in the air and a determined Jasmine decides to push her flirtation with PE teacher Rob Cleaver up a gear. Things are progressing between Maxine and Earl, too, when a show of solidarity takes their relationship to the next level. Chlo and Donte have some life-changing news of their own but, whilst Donte is ecstatic, Chlo isn't so sure.

Head teacher Rachel, meanwhile, is horrified when Eddie's relationship with her sister, Melissa, takes a dramatic leap forward, and Philip seems to be hiding a secret that threatens everyone's plans.

Why do I have a feeling that Melissa is just stringing Eddie along? That Phillip kid is definetly hiding something...

whats the bets that clo is pregnant maybe ? xxx

i think she will be, i am loving the stuff with the Kelly's i alwaays knew that Mellor character was a piece of work.

good epi last night i thought, although i guessed from the beginning that flicks drugs test would come back positive. cant believe her dad swapped the results though! also, why did marley go with social services? as hes in 6th form im guessing hes over 16 so he could carry on living with his mum if he wanted?
