January 13, 201312 yr Oh yeah, she would, but then Waterloo Road isn't REALLY like any other school. I know that and as I said, mist things don't bother me but that issue does just for personal reasons.
January 13, 201312 yr I know that and as I said, mist things don't bother me but that issue does just for personal reasons. Yeah, fair enough, and you're definitely right that she wouldn't get away with it in a real school.
January 13, 201312 yr Oh yeah, she would, but then Waterloo Road isn't REALLY like any other school. It used to be. Series one was bloody excellent and very believable. It's a real shame the way it's become such shit.
January 14, 201312 yr Author It used to be. Series one was bloody excellent and very believable. It's a real shame the way it's become such shit. Agreed, even with the school on the very edge of being shut down and all the bad behaviour and attitude from the kids (which now-a-days would be incredibly exaggerated and basically shit), it was still very well acted and believable. Same goes to series 2 and 3. Edited January 14, 201312 yr by liamk97
January 24, 201312 yr Author Waterloo Road is getting seriously good: these past two episodes have been excellent!

February 7, 201312 yr What is this becoming? Job Seekers for Ex-soap actors? Surely there are plenty of unknown talented actors and actress who would love a chance? The show is a parody. Stereotypical Scousers being chavs - check. School in Scotland with pupils and staff with Yorkshire, Scot, Manc and Scouse accents - you wouldn't go to school/work if your job was relocating 300 miles - you'd transfer to a local school! Mad. Lazy writing, shock tactics with the hostage and the one teacher hiding his identity. This is NOT DRAMA!
February 9, 201312 yr They really have lost the plot. I urge any viewers that haven't to go back and start watching from series 1. Now that was good drama.
February 9, 201312 yr Its as if nothing can be serious and hard hitting anymore. You would think the BBC would strive for authentic drama but no...sensationalised crap. This should face the axe. Invest in something else.
February 9, 201312 yr I agree it's really going downhill, obviously just watching a normal school day isn't that entertaining but it's just way too OTT to have a hostage situation/fire/theft/assault/rape/death EVERY week. I know it's merely a TV show, but if any real school had all this happen they'd have been shut down years ago! It might be 'just a TV show' as I said, but it still has to be believable, which it really isn't at the end of the day.

It might be 'just a TV show' as I said, but it still has to be believable, which it really isn't at the end of the day. And then after the hostage situation was over, everyone was fine! You had teachers going back into the staff room talking about everyday life! :P
February 9, 201312 yr Problem is everyday school life can be entertaining. In the first series, the relationships between the characters were interesting and strong. The school had a goal-to improve itself amd renew its reputation. All stories about death, pregnancy, bullying, etc were spread over the entire series not forgotten about the next week. One of the worst offences is this current pregnant girl. She had one episode, no personality and has just been in my mind as 'token pregnant girl' since then. She'll have a big birth episode next week and then she'll drift back to the background but this time without a gimmick.
February 13, 201312 yr Waterloo Road's fantastic. I've loved it right since I first watched Series 1 back in 2006. But, the real days of Waterloo Road were from the moment Eva Pope stepped in the door, right to the moment she left with Adam. She truly is, in my opinion, what the show is all about. Series 7 and 8 - well, they're just repeating storylines from the early days of the show (Series 1-5), and it's always a predictable solution or outcome to each episode. Its saving grace, though, is Jaye Jacobs. Stunning woman and fabulous actress. :wub: Will be a shame to see her go.
February 21, 201312 yr It used to be. Series one was bloody excellent and very believable. It's a real shame the way it's become such shit. I've never missed an episode and still love it. A big money-spinner for the BBC worldwide apparently so maybe that's why it keeps getting re-commissioned. Edited February 21, 201312 yr by Common Sense
February 21, 201312 yr Waterloo Road went to SHIT the moment that everyone favourite former prozzie Rachel left.
February 21, 201312 yr Author Really enjoyed tonight's episode. I don't think transgender is an issue Waterloo Road have tackled before, so it's nice to see them trying something new instead of churning out the same old storylines. I thought they were going to do another Francesca/Jonah student-teacher relationship from series 6 with Sian and Barry, but it seems to be more of a stalker issue looking at the next episode spoilers at the end of tonight's episode. I hope Lisa Riley didn't have to put all the weight back on to get into the role of Scout's mum! Ooh and apparently Sian is leaving next episode, with Daniel Chalk and Scout leaving episode 20.
February 21, 201312 yr Waterloo Road went to SHIT the moment that everyone favourite former prozzie Rachel left. You SAID IT. :wub: Tonight's episode was good. Have known about Sian leaving for a while now, but don't want her to go. :( Her leaving story surrounds her slapping Barry and then "reconsidering her future at the school".
