not long now till the new series! any chance of a waterloo road forum?

[Jessie Wallace]

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!

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!

[di marco]

i agree, i dont think there was much mention of izzie. and also agree about missing andrew, i want him to come back!

[Abbie]

I think this series is going to be really good, I know what you mean about there not much mention of izzie which was annoying me but I guess they are just trying to show a different way of coping with things, I do think we'll hear a bit more

[JustJodi]

Davy I also thought there was not enough mention of Izzie either. I just feel that Tom is being thrown out just because he BELIEVED that Chlo and Donte were TOO YOUNG to get married . I just felt he was also doing something that Izzie would have done.

I also felt they handled the topic of Autism quite well, but wanted to slap Steph and Grantly .. they should have FORCED Grantly to retire,, hes not a very nice person Steph is going to be a lousy replacement for Kim.
I miss Andrew and Kim as well, are they to come back or have they left for good ??? I forgot where did they go??

I am looking forward to the new series,,
