Rob (Robson Green) sees a different side of Naomi.

Exam fever hits the sixth form and, with Richard Whitman on a personal vendetta to close Waterloo Road, there's a lot riding on the exams going well, as the popular school drama continues.

But things don't get off to a smooth start: Vicki's got more than exam nerves to deal with – she's discovered she's pregnant with Aiden's child. But his solution to Vicki's dilemma causes more problems than it solves, as Ronan takes the blame for their rash actions.

It's the day of Sam's memorial service and everyone's on edge. As Finn empties Sam's locker Lauren and Amy help him to appreciate the sentimental value of the little things that are left behind. At the memorial service Denzil struggles with his grief, especially when new girl Scout inadvertently steals Sam's jumper.

Meanwhile, Naomi finally shows her true colours to Rob, and Karen receives some shocking news from Jess.

You know I haven't been an avid viewer or waterloo road. Dipped in and out of episodes over the years, but I've got to admit I am really moved by Sambuca's story. The girl who plays her has always played her well but she's really shinning in this series and I hope she goes onto bigger and better roles.

i agree, shes come a long way since she was Kimberly in Mischief Night! I tthink Holly Kenny has been fantastic!

Im loving this series...even if it is really sad

Sambuca is my favourite character, and i think i will shed some tears when she goes and at her funeral.

Former EastEnders star Paul Nicholls has reportedly been cast in the next series of Waterloo Road.

The actor will play a teacher at the school, alongside fellow new recruit Jaye Jacobs - best known for playing Donna Jackson in Holby City.

Cold Feet star John Thomson will be joining the pair, due to appear as a parent.

Jacobs quit Holby City earlier this year after seven years on the programme.

"I realised how much I was looking forward to embracing something new. I've been playing Donna for years, and it was a great chance to embrace something new and put myself in a new situation where I could play new characters," she said of her exit.

ahhhhhhh we will have a bit of eye candy with Paul Nicholls LOL ooooh I wonder if we will half expect Donna to start gossiping with Jeance or something LOL I mean after she played Donna for 7 years it will take a bit getting used to seeing her in a different role :-) I think it will be great, now who will be replacing the HEAD ???

Waterloo Road star Holly Kenny has revealed that she is thrilled with her alter ego Sambuca Kelly's emotional departure storyline.

In recent weeks, viewers have seen Sambuca forced to deal with the heartbreaking news that she has incurable brain cancer. The character has featured on the show since 2009.

Sambuca's story comes to an end in next week's episode of the BBC One drama as she makes an attempt to find her estranged father in Blackpool, unaware that her day in the seaside resort will be her last.

In real life, meanwhile, Kenny chose to leave Waterloo Road in order to concentrate on her GCSEs, according to What's On TV.

Praising Sambuca's dramatic final plotline, Kenny told the magazine: "I didn't want her to just disappear. When I first read the script for my final episode, it was daunting to think that this would be my last storyline.

"I thought about how it would affect viewers and how upset they'd be about the way Sam leaves the series."

Kenny continued: "It was challenging to portray the reality of what children like Sam go through. It was hard at times, but with the support from both cast and crew, I thoroughly enjoyed shooting Sam's final scenes."

Waterloo Road will air Sambuca's final episode next Wednesday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
