What an ending. It was really sad, i can't believe we have to wait. Just as chlo was thinking about leaving with Donte. That Seddons a real piece of work. He makes Lewis look like a puppy dog.
I too said we would have no staff left. I can't wait for series three.
Neither can I it's going to be great. I wonder how it will start, do you think it will be a new term and that Chlo (if she's still around, which i think she will be) doing her A Levels at the school.Spoiler:
:( Really? I had some hope that maybe she would surviveQuote:

Don't forget guys - this is a general discussion thread, not a spoiler thread - therefore, there should be no confirmations either way being posted about whether or not Izzie will be returning next series - people in this thread may not wish to know whether or not Jill will be returning, keep all posts regarding future episodes/series, to the spoilers forum.
Thank you

Aww, i wish i hadn't read that now, my fears were confirmed. Hope the show can still remain as good.
i cant beleve they killed off her but rest of the series looks brillant
What is Steph like she's go after anything with a pulse. Has she no morals.
aww i liked Jill Halfpenny in this :( maybe they can bring her back to eastenders instead :thumbsup:
No Angela Griffin either, if Steff's taking over her role or pasterol care
Thats what it looks like!!! Gutted that some of the main characters have left.Quote:

awwwwwwww darn I wish I had not read it either Dawny..I was sort of hoping Izzy would have survived..Angela is gone too ??? Oh man !!!
When does the series start ?? Does any one know ???:searchme:
Im not sure but Steph as head of pastoral care, you having a laugh, shes the most insensitive member of staff at the school. Looks like Andrews gone as well which would explain angela going as well.
I wish i hadnt read that also :(
If 3 of the main characters are going then I dont know if Ill bother watching it - they all worked really well together so a big cast shake up cant be good I dont think but well see
im gutted that angela's not going to there or kate - im not too sure it will survive with so many of them leaving
i suppose with a school it is easy to bring in new characters as teachers leave all the time, a lot of the kids are still in it, the likes of Chlo and Mika had some good storys last time. Maybe after series three it will be time to cal it a day.
Denise Welsh has also announched on Loose Women that Eva Pope is to play the new headteacher.
i dont know if ill watch it then - i cant stand her to be honest - i just remember her playing a reallly evil role in something (i think it was the bill) and because of that i just dont like her!
That is fantastic news! Loved her role as wing governor, Frances Myers in Bad Girls so am looking forward to seeing her in this! :thumbsup:Quote:

Was it the head or deputy i can't remember. I like Eva Pope though shes a great actress. Looks like a good series theres going to be 20 episdoes.
Does that mean that Jack won't be returning either.Quote:

There has been other spoilers on other forums saying that Eva Pope will be playing the headteachers assisitant and that Davina will be a training to be a teacher. But at the moment don't think this is confirmed.
It's a new term at Waterloo Road and a new series of the school drama starring Jason Merrells as headteacher Jack Rimmer. Following the shocking murder of Izzie Redpath, Jack and the new deputy head, Eddie Lawson, are keen to promote their policy on inclusion: no matter the circumstances or abilities, all kids are welcome at Waterloo Road.
Although he won a bravery award for defending Izzie, Jack blames himself and is struggling. He's going through a private hell but the love of Davina Shackleton and a large supply of anti-depressants keep him afloat.
Meanwhile, Tom is also reeling after the death of Izzie and blames Jack. Now a single dad to Chlo and Mika, Izzie's daughters, Tom is plunged into another family crisis when he finds out Chlo and Donte have taken off to get married. He is faced with a race against time to get to the register office.
Steph Haydock is relishing her new position as head of pastoral care, but disaster looms as a new inclusion pupil, Karla Bentham, who has Asperger's syndrome, is placed in her less-than-capable hands. Utter chaos ensues when English teacher Grantly Budgen is on the receiving end of one of Karla's violent outbursts.
Young, newly qualified teacher Jasmine Koreshi arrives for her first day. She's dreading her first class and is desperate for advice from the other teachers. Bets are taken on how long she will last.
Dishy new drama teacher Matt Wilding arrives late for his first day but is an instant hit with the girls. He has a secret, however: a gorgeous boyfriend. Winging it, Matt promises Jack a school musical extravaganza – the only problem is he's got to write it.
Jack Rimmer is played by Jason Merrells, Eddie Lawson by Neil Morrissey, Davina Shackleton by Christine Tremarco, Tom by Jason Done, Chlo by Katie Griffiths, Mika by Lauren Drummond, Steph Haydock by Denise Welch, Karla Bentham by Jessica Baglow, Grantly Budgen by Philip Martin Brown, Jasmine Koreshi by Shabana Bakhsh and Matt Wilding by Chris Geere.
i am confused about one thing,, why did Tom keep the girls ?? they did have a daddy some where out there, and he was pretty much in the picture in some earlier episodes:searchme: :searchme:
Let's hope they clear that up for us in the episode, rather than glossing over that. But i would imagine it was the girls choice and they chose Tom. Only a weeks weeks and we'll find out tho :DQuote:

Jasmine shares her worries with Eddie and her suspicions are confirmed when he finds Paul following a beating. Eddie rounds up the usual suspects and gets the boys to confess. Paul, meanwhile, wants to toughen up so that he can stand up to his violent Uncle Dermott. He steals a knife and heads off home to confront him. Jack and Eddie decide to take the matter into their own hands and race after Paul to try to stop him.
Elsewhere, Tom is worried that Chlo's head is so full of being a wife that she's not going to pass her mock exams, and asks Steph to give her extra French tuition. Chlo isn't happy with the idea, but is delighted when Brett offers to help. It's soon clear there is more than French on the timetable when an unexpected chemistry develops between the pair.
Steph is in trouble when her lack of attention to Paul and Karla is exposed, and a furious Eddie makes his feelings known to Jack, who gives Steph an ultimatum: shape up or ship out.
Meanwhile, auditions for the musical are taking place and Aleesha and Danielle tell Karla she has a great voice and should audition.
Bolton Smilie is played by Tachia Newall, Paul Langley by Thomas Milner, Jasmine Koreshi by Shabana Bakhsh, Steph Haydock by Denise Welch, Matt Wilding by Chris Geere, Eddie Lawson by Neil Morrissey, Uncle Dermott by Jack Deam, Jack Rimmer by Jason Merrells, Tom by Jason Done, Chlo by Katie Griffiths, Brett by Tom Payne, Karla by Jessica Baglow, Aleesha by Lauren Thomas and Danielle by Lucy Dixon.
a chemistry between CHlo and Brett i doubt that will go down well with Mica. I am so looking forward to the new series.
not long now till the new series! :cheer: any chance of a waterloo road forum?
Waterloo Road's first-ever girls' football match kicks off today and Tom encourages the team to give it all they've got, as the drama continues.
The girls are determined to look good, even though their football skills may not be up to scratch. With no money for new football strips, Janeece and Maxine take fund-raising matters into their own hands and sell tickets for a fake raffle with the promise of a week in Marbella.
Jasmine, meanwhile, is having the day from hell. She can't control her class, loses her temper and ends up jeopardising the football match by putting half of the girls' team in detention. Tom is furious, but Jasmine completely loses her confidence and runs out of the school. Eddie steps in and tries to find a compromise to save the match.
Unknown to Chlo, Donte is taking his role as husband seriously, and puts a deposit down on a dingy flat – his and Chlo's new love nest. There's trouble in store, however, as Brett grows dangerously close to Chlo and the chemistry between them becomes electric.
Elsewhere, the pressure is taking its toll on Jack. He's been grilled on budgets by school adviser Ria Cheetham, and has had a huge run-in with Tom about the raffle-ticket scam. To top it all, Davina is on a residential course and he has no shoulder to cry on. By the end of the day, he finds himself popping more pills in order to cope and even asks the ever-devoted Steph out for a drink – where they enjoy more than just a heart-to-heart.
Tom Clarkson is played by Jason Done, Janeece by Chelsee Healey, Maxine by Ellie Paskell, Jasmine Koreshi by Shabana Bakhsh, Eddie Lawson by Neil Morrissey, Chlo by Katie Griffiths, Donte by Adam Thomas, Brett by Tom Payne, Jack Rimmer by Jason Merrells, Ria Cheetham by Maria Lennon, Davina Shackleton by Christine Tremarco and Steph Haydock by Denise Welch.

Episode 4
Preparations for the Waterloo Road musical, Park Side Story, are in full swing and Ben McNulty and his girlfriend, Danielle Harker, are fooling around in the art room, as the drama continues. Disaster strikes, however, when Ben falls, leaving him with a bleeding head. Drama teacher Matt also injures himself in his efforts to help Ben, but is shocked when Ben recoils in horror. The situation becomes even more bizarre when the usually apathetic Steph swoops in and rushes terrified Ben to A&E.
Steph knows more about Ben than she's letting on – Ben has HIV and Steph has promised his mum she won't breathe a word of this to the other teachers. However, the day takes a turn for the worse and the pupils and parents are in uproar when the whole school finds out about Ben's secret.
Towards the end of a traumatic day, Jack presents Davina with an engagement ring. There are congratulations in the staff room, but will rejected Steph manage to keep her mouth shut about their recent night of passion?
Elsewhere, Chlo is feeling guilty about sleeping with Brett when an oblivious Donte plans a romantic night chez Grainger. Very much in love, he can't do enough for Chlo.
Brett and Chlo, meanwhile, seem to have come to an understanding: to show they can get along, Brett gives Chlo a lift to Tom's place and gives her a present. Chlo finally feels someone is taking her seriously, and she can't help herself when she and Brett end up heading for the bedroom.
tut tut chlo and brett. suppose you can't help who you fall for though!
I thought i would start a general discussion thread for the 3rd series of Waterloo Road. It started last Thursday - what did everyone think? It's a 20 part long series this time! :eek:
I thought it was wonderful how the programme tackled the subject of autism - my cousin has it so it was good to see them tackle this issue. I couldn't believe Steph and Grantley's attitude towards Karla though! Davina grew on me a lot in the first episode. I really liked her scenes with Karla and i'm glad Jack appointed her as her school carer.
I felt there wasn't enough mention of Izzie! I would like to have seen some more grief with Mika, Chlo and Tom... Donte and Chlo getting married was rather quick too!
I miss Kim and Andrew too! :(
i agree, i dont think there was much mention of izzie. and also agree about missing andrew, i want him to come back!
