I'm hoping they go a bit Jerry Springer and have a massive fight. :D Would liven things up a bit.

Oh yeah, more Jerry Springer would be good. Admittedly I watch that rather a lot too. :kink:

It looks so bad already, just from two photos! :lol:

I hope there's not too many scenes from the show in the episode, but apparently one of the scenes is

that Kevin's real mum is in the audience, and he is so shocked to see her.

That should be interesting. ^_^

This week's episode is on tonight at 8pm, not tomorrow!

 

Can't believe next week's episode is the last in the series already. :( Hopefully it's around August time that Series 9 starts, and we don't have to wait too long.

Oh wow! :o I'm obviously going to watch then, so excited!

My mum tells me that Kevin's mum played Debbie Bates (Nigel's wife) in Eastenders during the 90s. She's certainly let herself go a bit!

 

The Julian Noble show was embarrassing to watch as expected, although I quite liked it at the end when Christine turned up and Carol slapped Kevin's mum! :D

Imogen's mum is FIT.

And as much as I should hate that new teacher, I can't help finding him HILARIOUS. :lol:

 

:D at his relationship with his wife as well!

So do I! :lol: His witty comments are so funny!

At the beginning of the episode, Nikki was pissing me off so much, trying to tell Christine that the job wasn't for her, etc. When she said she would be handing in her resignation, I was overjoyed, but then at the end of the episode when she said she would be staying I was rather irked. She needs to leave, for good, and never come back, like, ever.

Christine didn't really look comfortable in the role of Head to begin with, but I was so happy to see her in such a powerful position at the school, as opposed to being just that recovering alcoholic of an English teacher. Absolutely loved when she burst into The Julian Noble Show (he was a bit of a prick, and was annoying me every time I saw him talking to Kevin and Carol, and his assistant), and told all the pupils to get out, and made her speech. That was just incredible! Christine's probably my favourite character on the show since the show moved to Scotland. Was killing myself with laughter, though, when Audrey got annoyed by what they were all saying in the audience, and got out her seat and shouted at them, but then run back to her seat when the security guard came back, that was HILARIOUS! :lol: The whole thing was rather embarrassing to watch, but at the same time it was absolutely hilarious, and it was a funny direction to take the show in. The inclusion of Kevin's mum, though, was absolutely terrible. She was such a bitch, and by the end I was glad Carol punched her like she did. Great scene. Glad Carol made it up with Kevin in the end, though, because they should be getting on, and not fighting. The scene at their home was really nice to watch, a family at peace. It'll be great seeing Barry sticking up for Kevin now, and not threatening him.

Dynasty and Kevin continue to be two of my favourite characters, and the best couple that the show has produced. They are just made for each other, and are amazing to watch every single week. :wub:

I did think that was the end for Grantly, though. The whole episode was kind of leading up to that, what with Rhiannon and Harley looking through his things, Maggie getting upset, and Tom's lovely speech to him in the hospital, talking about the past. Kind of underwhelming that by the end he started to breathe by himself, but I suppose the longer he's there, the better, because it'll be so sad when we eventually do lose Grantly.

Loved the end of the episode where Christine got back to the office and Sonya told her about Jack's mum on the phone and she was SO direct with her, proving just how good she can be and IS as Head. Her and Sonya are going to make a brilliant team, more so than Michael and Sonya. I actually feel glad that both Michael and Lorraine are gone now. The show has a better atmosphere in general now when watching.

 

And finally... HELLO SIMON LOWSLEY. Quirky, capable and HOT. Bring it on! *.* :heart:

Christine's superiority complex pissed me off quite a bit. I mean, I know she wanted to create a sense of power, but she went the wrong way about it.

Meh didn't really enjoy tonight's episode. It was bit far fetched, but I did like Carol actually warming to Kevin. Aside from that meh, but yes I agree we have some eye candy with Simon now :P That's one thing to look forward to.

I really do question the taste of some Buzzjackers. :P Seems anyone under 30 (unless you're Regina, when it's anyone of 40! :lol:) and they are deemed attractive!

I know! He seems so cringey as well.

 

"Talk about awkward turtle!" :manson:

To be fair we take what we can get in Waterloo Road, we only have Kevin!

 

I have a weakness for 'smart' men though :lol:

Connor has his moments too. :smoke:

The Angus Deayton character is hilariously awful :D

 

The way Christine spoke to Jack's mum was the highlight of the episode. As for the Julian Noble show, that was rather far-fetched even for Waterloo Road. Any show that pulled that stunt with Kevin's mum and his background would be in serious trouble with Ofcom even if it wasn't broadcast. No broadcaster (not even Channel 5) would even think of doing that for more than a few seconds :lol:

That was indeed a highlight for me! :lol: Christine has been my favourite new character since series 8 began, but that made me like her that little bit more! Even though introducing Kevin's mum was a completely unrealistic thing to do, it did at least distract us from the embarrassment of the acting and the atmosphere of the Julian Noble Show - something tells me the cast members sat down, watched an episode of Jeremy Kylie and took notes! :lol: And it was worth it for that slap from Carol! :D

Am I the only person, too, that thought that would NOT at all be what Kevin's mum would look like? How could SHE produce such a beautiful offspring like Kevin? :P

 

On an unrelated note, I've ordered the Series 8 Spring Term DVD, so I look forward to revisiting those episodes, especially the devastating 8.19 where Sian departed the show, that was truly emotional. :cry:
