Last nights was fab! I am completly hooked on this show fab stuff x-x-x
Here's a bit about it if people are new to the show:
Waterloo Road Comprehensive is on the scrap heap. It can be found very near the bottom of every league table there is. Its despondent teachers have given up trying to make a difference as they struggle to cope with their own personal problems as well as their nightmare day jobs. When the current Headmaster has a nervous breakdown, Jack Rimmer (Jason Merrells) is reluctantly thrown into the hot seat.
He recruits optimistic, educational zealot Andrew Treneman (Jamie Glover) who wants to give up his comfortable private school job to bring the benefits of his elite educational experience to Waterloo Road.
Together with feisty Guidance Head Kim Campbell (Angela Griffin) the three teachers - all committed in their very different ways - set to turn round Waterloo Road, painful step by painful step.
Meanwhile English teacher Tom Clarkson's (Jason Done) life is in a mess. He's about to be married to live-in girlfriend and fellow teacher Lorna Dickey (Camilla Power) and can't face telling her he is no longer in love. But much worse, he has fallen for Lorna's closest friend - drama teacher Izzie Redpath (Jill Halfpenny).
Man-eating French teacher Steph Haydock (Denise Welch) is delighted Jack Rimmer has been promoted - she's always fancied him but now he's headmaster, his powerful, manly charms are impossible to resist.
INTERESTING FACTS ON "WATERLOO ROAD"
The key creator and writer behind Waterloo Road is Shed Production's own Creative Director, Ann McManus. Education is a subject close to Ann's heart. Before landing a job as a television writer, helping create Footballers' Wives and Bad Girls Ann taught English for five years in some of Glasgow's toughest comprehensive schools.
The school used for the fictional Waterloo Road is situated in the heart of a housing estate in Rochdale. It used to be a middle school and was used as an infant school prior to the production team moving in. They had to empty out the tiny chairs and desks to transform it into Waterloo Road Comprehensive.
Creating the show . . .
Paul Rowan, the show's designer, designed the Waterloo Road Crest and it was down to Producer Claire Phillips to choose a school motto. They came across ' Ex Nihilo Omnia' - meaning Everything From Nothing. It was thought this was quite appropriate both in terms of the story they were telling but also from a production point of view.

a new girl started at the school, she was pregnant and accused jack of being the father. she tried to blackmail jack by asking for 10 grand. it turned out the father of the baby was actually an expupil of the school who wanted revenge on jack for expelling him. the girl gave birth in toms classroom. chlo skipped school to go and see holly in hospital. they introduced houses into the school. lorna went for an abortion cos she thought tom didnt want the baby, izzy went with her and tried to talk her out of it, but lorna went through with it anyway. she went home and told tom she had had a miscarriage, tom however had decided that he did actually want the baby after seeing the girl give birth and assumed it was all his fault that lorna had miscarried. izzy told jimmy that she was going to make sure he wasnt allowed to see the kids againQuote:
