February 21, 201312 yr Author 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". They were very discreet about next week's episode, so I guess something spectacular will happen.
February 21, 201312 yr I feel bad for Sian. She's my second favourite after no-nonsense Nicki! Actually I thought they'd go down the Kim/Lewis Seddon route of him attempting to rape her in Series 2.
February 21, 201312 yr Switched off after 15 minutes tonight. It felt like a chore to watch and has done for some time now.
February 21, 201312 yr Author I feel bad for Sian. She's my second favourite after no-nonsense Nicki! Actually I thought they'd go down the Kim/Lewis Seddon route of him attempting to rape her in Series 2. *Series 1 ;) Thinking about it, Sian and Kim do seem quite similar in some respects. I guess they could have done, but I'm not sure they would do that storyline justice.
February 22, 201312 yr *Series 1 ;) Thinking about it, Sian and Kim do seem quite similar in some respects. I guess they could have done, but I'm not sure they would do that storyline justice. Ooops. Series 1 and 2 are just merged into one in my head for some reason (probably because after Series 2 there were a lot of changes). I didn't like Kim but like Sian. I think it's they way they've built Sian to be the fair, nice and moral teacher [ignoring her affair]. But it will be sad to see her go...it seems she was the only one who could get through to Barry.

Well I guess Kim 'stole' a child so it kind of makes Sian's affair a normal thing! :P I can see why you'd mistake Series 1 and 2 - Series 2 did follow on from 1, mainly revolving around the Tom-Lorna-Izzie storyline. Plus both series were very short in comparison to today.
February 22, 201312 yr I think that's why they decided to make Series 3 onwards 20 episodes, because Series 1 and 2 seemed like a conjoined 20 part series in itself.
February 22, 201312 yr Author I think that's why they decided to make Series 3 onwards 20 episodes, because Series 1 and 2 seemed like a conjoined 20 part series in itself. Yeah, that and due to the show becoming increasingly popular which meant they could extend the budget a bit more.
February 22, 201312 yr Yeah, that and due to the show becoming increasingly popular which meant they could extend the budget a bit more. Well, I'm hoping we get more episodes commissioned because all we have thus far is a 30 episode series 8 and a 20 episode series 9... Let's hope we get another 20 episodes or so.
February 23, 201312 yr Author All the previous episdoes are being repeated on CBS Drama from April 10. :) In order from Series 1? Ooh, that will be interesting. Anyone who hasn't watched all the episodes, I seriously recommend you do so!
February 23, 201312 yr In order from Series 1? Ooh, that will be interesting. Anyone who hasn't watched all the episodes, I seriously recommend you do so! I read about it on Digital Spy forums but the article they've now posted seems to say it's just Season 1 at the moment but I guess they'll probably aquire the rights to the later seasons. I only started watching from the 4th series so I'll be watching these as I've heard there really good. From the one's I've seen, it seemed to lose it's way towards the end of the 6th series.

February 23, 201312 yr Series 6 is probably the weakest series of the whole show (including Series 7A). Karen's era just didn't add anything to the show at all. :( Eva Pope all the way :wub:
February 23, 201312 yr Wasn't this series confirmed for 50 episodes? I guess the realised it would be a bad decision and have added it to the next series! Will be good to see the golden years of the earlier series again, thanks for the heads up!

Wikipedia have it down in their episode guide as a 30-part eighth series, and a 50-part series would muck up the DVD releases. There are only four seasons, unless they showed 20 episode at once, and called it the Winter Term. :P

Maybe they meant a 30 episode series followed by a 20 episode series?
February 23, 201312 yr http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressrele.../waterloo.shtml This was where I saw it. Maybe they meant a 30 episode series followed by a 20 episode series? Yeah, that's what's happening as far as we all know. I just hope that by making Series 9 reduced in length, it doesn't mean the show's drawing to a close. :cry:

I just hope that by making Series 9 reduced in length, it doesn't mean the show's drawing to a close. :cry: If they just keep re-using storylines, I don't mind if it ends. Waterloo Road is a shadow of its former self and although it's been better in Series 8B, I can't see it improving majorly back to the golden days! Series 3>Series 1+2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Series 5>Series 4>>>>>Series 8B>>>>>>>>>>>Series 7B+C>Series 8A>>Series 7A>>>>>>>>Series 6

The Bolton/gun story was TOO 4.1 for me, and Jade's baby/adoption story was TOO 4.18/Chlo for me... :( And I would agree completely with your ordering of good>bad for the series'. :w00t:

I've seen that too. It does seem that they've said they are filming 50 episodes, not filming 50 episodes for a particular series, so yeah, probably 30 episodes this series and a 20 episode Series 9.
