cant wait for the first episode
Episode 2
Jack Rimmer is furious that Andrew Treneman has accepted the position of Headmaster at Waterloo Road, as the new term at the comprehensive school continues. He can't believe Andrew's stabbed him in the back, and it looks as though buttery Andrew has sided with rich investor Roger Aspinall. However, it's not all bad news as Jack is now free to pursue sexy new secretary Davina.
The atmosphere is tense at Izzie and Tom's house. They all feel uncomfortable with Lorna living there and even Mika and Chlo want shot of her.
The changes at the top have led to low morale amongst the teaching staff – but Jack remains determined to get his job as Head Teacher back. He's keenly supported by Steph, who'll do anything for him.
Meanwhile, Mika is being victimised. Her supposed best friend, Leigh-Ann, has started a cyber bullying campaign against her and Mika is distraught to find compromising images of herself on a website.
Over-zealous Andrew's zero-tolerance campaign is being felt in the local community. Kim Campbell is furious that they are excluding the trouble makers and thereby unleashing them on the community. The backlash is hitting them hard and Kim wants Andrew to sort his mess out.
As part of Roger's new regime, Grumpy Grantly has been ousted from the school and Tom's annoyed – that means more work for him. His ex-wife, Lorna, is now flirting with Andrew and, when he makes her Head of English, it's a kick in the teeth for Tom having Lorna as his new boss.
Meanwhile, at a cosy dinner with Davina, Jack manages to get a few secrets on Roger Aspinall...

And Jack's confidently back in his job knowing that he has something to hold over the school's wealthy sponsor and Chair of Governors, Roger Aspinall.
Mika, meanwhile, is being bullied and fears that the whole school could have seen topless images of her on an internet hate site. Mika feels she has no one to turn to, but busybody Steph Haydock steps in to play the Good Samaritan. However, she wades in without telling Mika her plan and sets up a trap to confront the bullies, which goes terribly wrong.
Elsewhere, Izzie and Tom's relationship takes an upturn when Lorna finds a flat and finally moves out. With renewed spirit, she bites the bullet and asks Andrew out on a date. When he accepts, she wastes no time in boasting to Kim who denies she's interested in him. But Kim can't forgive Andrew's disloyalty to Jack, and does her best to deny any feelings she has for him. Andrew tries his best but can't get through to Kim to make amends. Meanwhile, Lorna books a doctor's appointment to deal with her constant dizzy spells.
PA Davina gets a shock when new pupil Brett walks into her office. They had a fling before she started her job, but she had no idea he was still at school. Brett makes it clear he still fancies Davina, and is keen to rekindle what they had, but Davina isn't so sure – especially now her boss Jack is showing he wants more than just a one-night stand.
Meanwhile, Donte is desperate to lose his virginity. When his dad goes away on business, Donte and long-term girlfriend Chlo have the ideal opportunity to take their relationship further. He carefully plans the perfect night whilst Chlo makes excuses to her mum. Loaded up with the cash his dad left him, Donte books a romantic dinner – but bully Lewis Seddon has got himself a job in the restaurant and wherever Lewis goes, trouble soon follows.

Sounds really good, this series is going to go for strength to strength. Poor Mika though, looks like were going to be seeing more of her this series that last which is great, but looks like Izzy is to busy with Tom to find out whats wrong with her.
merged posts to keep things nice and tidy :D
Watched this last night.
So glad Mr Grumpy English teacher is gone. Didnt think it was as good as the last series though think it might take time to build up again.
Lorna's really going for it though poor izzy
Where did you watch it??? Over the net???
Though it didn't start till Thursday!
its on on a sunday in scotland - had this out with bry last night too lol
So we see it before you like england sees holby before us
Ahhhh, ok i get ya!!!! I was panicing thought i missed it.
Lol you and me both FC!! I thought I done the same as last Thursday for a minute there and missed it like I did the second part of Judge John Deed :angry:
I really enjoyed the first epsiode last night, can believe how much the school has changed with each classroom having a interactive white board and a common room for the 6 formers.
Does anyone else think the new pupil Brett looks like the man who played Nick Yorke in Holby City, i know it's not him but you can sort of see it in his face.
I think Mika's going to be involved alot more this series which is great as we didn't see her much in the first series. Can't believe Lorna would want to stay in a house with your best friend and husband in the bed in the next room to you. And the question is did she fall down the stairs on purpose???
Im sorry I never watched the First series but after last night Im hooked.
It was really good wasnt it alan, i only saw the last episode of the last series and really enjoyed it.
I dont think Lorna fell by accident. shes a bit loopy in this series but you cant blame her as her best mate is now with her husband, if all schools were like that i think attendance would be a lot higher.
I think Mika will feature alot as well, i like her character. That leanne girl was really evil.
and looks like she is set to get more evil, from upcoming spoliers i've read. The actress who plays her, use to be in Byker Grove and also released a single under the name of Summer Matthews.Quote:
That leanne girl was really evil
i thought i recognised her, thanks for that.
I dont think much of Aspinall either, Roger that is not the son. I thought it was sad to see the old english teacher go. He reminded me of a teacher i had until he was sacked.
I can't stand that man either, i mean getting rid of Jack (headteacher) he can't do that, i think the scenes between him and his son will be intresting.
ok he is a highly respected business man practically owns a school and his 15/16 year old son has a better collection of booze in his room than i do!!!
Donte and Chlo's romantic night is ruined when bully boy Lewis Seddon turns up on Donte's doorstep and refuses to leave, as the school drama continues. When Donte finally gets rid of him, he doesn't realise that Lewis has stolen a set of keys...
Back at school, Brett is desperate to win back flirty Davina – and he's not giving up easily. Before long, he's making overblown gestures of love, which don't escape the notice of Davina's boss, and lover, Jack.
When invoices for the new school building go unpaid, Jack and Roger end up at loggerheads over the future of Waterloo Road. Roger's son, Brett, makes matters worse when he smashes the model of the new academy. Jack would love to expel him but his fantastic grades are raising the school's average and are great for the league tables. However, Andrew realises there's more to Brett's behaviour than meets the eye.
Meanwhile, Lorna's dizzy spells have been getting worse and she goes for an MRI scan. But she is also moving into a new flat and is thrilled that things are finally falling into place.
Elsewhere, with no drugs and no money, excluded pupil Maxine is at the end of her tether. On a whim, she attacks Steph and attempts to steal her bag. But the mugging doesn't quite go to plan for either of them.
Celebrating in her new flat, Lorna is acting as if she doesn't have a care in the world – but her doctor is urgently trying to contact her.
Donte is played by Adam Thomas, Chlo by Katie Griffiths, Lewis by Craig Fitzpatrick, Brett by Tom Payne, Davina by Christine Tremarco, Jack by Jason Merrells, Roger by Nick Sidi, Andrew by Jamie Glover, Lorna by Camilla Power, Maxine by Ellie Paskell and Steph by Denise Welch.
:eek: omg lorna wonder whats up!!!!! could she still be pregnant or has it been too long? Maybe its a brain tumour!!!
maybe she didnt fall down the stairs on pupse in episode one and the real reaon was the dizzy spells, i wonder whats wrong with. It looks like the bullying of Mika is going to get worse.
I totally agree with everything you said Katy, but i wonder why she's having dizzy spells????
Loving this series!!! Were seeing a totally different side to Steph this series already, her seens with Mika were really good, you wouldn't have got her talking to her like that last series. Glad Andrew quit the heads job at the end of the programme he really couldn't handle it properly as he wanted to do everything by the book of by Aspinall rules. Can't stand that man, whats with him, apparently he hasn't got any money so hows he managed to get in at the school and hows he going to change it around.
I was glad Andrew listerned to Kim in the end about not suspending Janeece as she didn't deserve it especially as you can tell she is working hard through her English achevieing her first B.
Overall another great epsiode, looking forward to next week.
I agree with everything you have said FC. I have only started watching since this series and am hooked. Cant wait to see Leigh-Ann getting her comeuppanceQuote:

A serial attacker is on the loose in the area, as Waterloo Road opens its doors for another episode. After a pupil is assaulted, the police are called in to advise the school on safety and Kim sets up a self-defence class. But beneath her enthusiasm, Kim is still vulnerable – the attack on her the previous term is still fresh in her mind.
Elsewhere, it seems that Steph is having a positive influence on Maxine's life when her protégé considers returning to school. But Grantly warns Steph against getting too involved, fearing that Maxine's new leaf won't last long and that she'll take advantage of Steph's caring side.
Meanwhile, young pupil Stacey has developed a huge crush on Tom. She pouts and preens in her teacher's presence, but he's completely blind to the signals.
On the day of the first self-defence class, Kim enlists Andrew and Tom's help. Stacey is quick to volunteer as a victim – anything to have Tom up close and personal. Meanwhile, the chemistry between Andrew and Kim is electric – even Lorna can see it and is forced to admit that she and Andrew are never meant to be.
But that is the least of Lorna's problems. Her test results are back and she is told devastating news: she has multiple sclerosis.
Kim is played by Angela Griffin, Steph by Denise Welch, Maxine by Ellie Paskell, Grantly by Philip Martin Brown, Stacey by Holly Grainger, Tom by Jason Done, Andrew by Jamie Glover and Lorna by Camilla Power.
Ms, i never thought of that. Thats really sad, i bet Tom wont be as horrible when he finds out.
I HOPE Tom won't be as horrid, Izzy should be really surportive, Tom may not even beileve her, he could think it's a plan for her to get close to him and Izzy.
No mentioned about Mika's bullying here, but the storyline with Tom and Stacey sound intresting as this is very likey to happen at schools i know it did at my school. A girl a year older that me has now had a child with one of our old music teachers. Oh i've gone off the subject sorry!!!
Wonder what steff will do when she finds out about Jack and Davina and whether Lorna does have something seriously worng with her
If you take alook on the spolier section for Waterloo Road you will find out about Lorna.
I watched this last night, i watched it on BBC Scotland like Luna said. It was really good. You wont be dissapointed. Ill save further discussion till thursday. Dont miss it though, as i thought it was one of the best ones this series.
I'm so glad this is back on. I have to say i'm enjoying it more than Shameless at the moment.
Really, im enjoying it loads but i think its a different progtramme to Shamelss, which im also enjoying. Tonights episode shows the conclusion of Mikas bullying.
Wow is all i can say to tonight epiosde, it's gotta be the best one they've ever made, even STONE Hearted me was nearly crying!
This was one super episode,, I am so glad it has returned, so will Davina and Jack keep seeing each other??? Will Steph get all ticked off ?? Will Tom and Izzy finally get rid of their UNWANTED house guest ?? Loads of questions :-D :hmm:
Hmmm looks like LEWIS,, is going to make DANTE and Chloe's lives miserable,, looks like Chloe will remain a VIRGIN for a while longer :lol:
I agree with you Katy, it was the best one so far. I think Lauren Drummond who plays Mika was really good especially with the overdose scene, and the way Izzy and Tom reacted and talked to her and how they all opened up to each other at the end.
It was so nice, i didnt think they would realise when she left the note but they did thankfully. hopefully that will be the start of the relationship with Tom as she didnt really get on with him before. I hope its the end of the bullying as well, she was good the way she dealt with Leigh ann.
Yeah i know, think it is the end of the bullying as the pic on the computer screen was of her and Mika, no nasty pics of Mika were there. I can see Mika warming to Tom now, he'll be more of a dad to her than her real dad.
