Waterloo Road stalwart Philip Martin Brown has suggested that Grantly Budgen will propose to his new girlfriend. :thumbsup:
The BBC school drama actor revealed that the English teacher will bend down on one knee to dinnerlady Maggie Croft (Melanie Hill) in tonight's series seven finale.
Speaking on Loose Women, the star teased: "I can tell you that Grantly goes down... on bended knee."
Referring to Grantly's recent struggle with his late wife Fleur's Alzheimer's, he added: "It's been great to do, a joy, but it's been pretty gritty all in all.
"Although now he's got a girlfriend so things are looking up for him after a bit of a bad spell."
Waterloo Road concludes tonight for the show's final day in Rochdale, airing at 8pm on BBC One.
Cast and crew are currently filming the next series in Scotland, the programme's new home.
For Grantly to propose so soon after losing his wife is a mistake.
I can't wait till the new series starts,that was definately some cliff hanger when the last series finished.
Considering that most of the cast are English that seems highly improbableQuote:

Waterloo Road star Chelsee Healey is leaving the BBC drama.
As rumoured, the actress's character Janeece Bryant will bow out in the show's next series, which begins in the autumn.
Healey will appear in a substantial number of episodes in series eight before her departure. Although Janeece will not be killed off, show bosses have promised an "emotional" send-off for the school secretary.
Speaking of her exit, Healey commented: "Waterloo Road and playing Janeece has been a part of my life for six years and I'll be sad to leave the show.
"Working with the cast and crew has been the best time of my life. I'll miss it so much, but I can promise fans my exit will be unmissable - but my lips are sealed!"
Waterloo Road's executive producer Cameron Roach added: "Chelsee's journey with Waterloo Road comes to an end this autumn as we say farewell to Janeece Bryant.
"It's been an incredible experience watching Janeece grow from being a pupil to the school secretary, and we're currently shooting an emotional and engaging departure storyline which we're extremely excited about."
Waterloo Road bosses have announced that Zöe Lucker is joining the cast of the BBC show.
The former Footballers' Wives and EastEnders actress has signed up for the role of Carol Barry, the head of a Liverpudlian criminal family who have been tipped to cause mayhem in upcoming storylines.
As Carol's husband is in prison, she is the lone parent of three unruly children - bad boy Barry (Carl Au) and daughters Dynasty and Kacey (Abby Mavers and Brogan Ellis).
Viewers will see the kids arrive at Waterloo Road's new home in Scotland as the latest recruits for headmaster Michael Byrne's pupil referral unit. Michael (Alec Newman) hopes to turn them into model students, but it quickly becomes apparent that top grades are the last thing on their minds.
Lucker commented: "I'm delighted to join the cast of Waterloo Road and work with Shed and the BBC again. It's a show I've always enjoyed and I'm thrilled to be part of the outrageous Barry family.
"Carol and her kids are going to ruffle plenty of feathers in Waterloo Road - you can't trust them as far as you can throw them! They're a family of great characters - you just wouldn't want the Barrys in your neighbourhood!"
Waterloo Road is Lucker's first major project since bowing out as Vanessa Gold in EastEnders last year.
Cameron Roach, head of drama for Shed Productions and executive producer of Waterloo Road, said: "Zöe is a terrific addition to our ensemble cast. It is incredibly exciting to be working with her again after working together on Footballers' Wives. This time her character's not about the glamour but keeping the family together."
BBC Scotland's executive producer Gaynor Holmes added: "We'd like to extend a warm welcome to Zöe as she arrives in Scotland. It's very exciting to see Waterloo Road continue to attract such star casting as the show goes from strength to strength."
Waterloo Road fans will see the Barry family make their on-screen debut next year, in episodes currently being filmed at the programme's new base in Greenock, Scotland.
It would have been better if they had cast an actor as the head of a Glasgow crime family,with it now being filmed in Scotland.
