I still have Series 15 to watch so probably need to make a conscious effort to do that before this is released. Looking forward to it being back though!

This season is f***ing CRAZY omg

I've nearly binged it in two days. Some of the stories hit HARD, as usual (Episode 4 especially).

P.S. Mitch is a cutie.

Enjoyed this series. I'm hoping that Darius gets his comeuppance next series.

I did wonder at the time if it was out of character for Joe to cheat, but he and Mike seemed to have issues for a long time.

I still don't know what to make of Schuey. It seems to be one step forward, two steps back with him constantly.

I assume Darius will get his comeuppance in a big way. He is such a horrible character. His scheming cannot last for much longer.

Returns 6th January at 9pm on TV for the same double bill with the news in between. All 8 eps up on iPlayer on the same day.

A friend of mine was filming for Waterloo Road the other week, I imagine he’ll appear in the block after this one.

It's rare for a villain arc like that to last longer than a series (at least since the reboot) so it'll be interesting to see what they do.

RIP William Rush, who played Josh Stevenson in Waterloo Road from 2009-2013.

I am so ready for Steph Haydock to be back.

I'm half way through already and this has to be one of the best series yet. The character development for the likes of Portia, Izzy and Agnes is very strong. It's good to see more of Darius' background and makes more sense about the way he is. Freddie and Luca's story is cute.

Denise Welch was fab in episode 2, I think she returns later on.

Portia, Nicky and Nisha knocked it out of the park this season as well as obviously Stella as always and Darius.

Completed the series yesterday after watching at weekly pace.

I'm glad they fleshed out some of the characters, particularly Izzy and Agnes. I did wonder if the grooming storyline would have been a whole series arc but I think having it and then showing the fallout was probably better.

The ending was very satisfying with Darius getting found out. The Luca & Freddie scenes were sweet. I'm also glad Noel & Stace got something resembling a happy ending.

Aw Noel And Stace are very underrated but I really enjoyed that pairing this time around. Noel in particular has come a long way since his first series!
