March 13, 201411 yr Anyone know who becomes the new head then? In spoilers of course! Lowsley seems too young and inexperienced to me! Vaughan Fitzgerald played by Neil Pearson ^_^
April 2, 201411 yr The BBC have officially confirmed that the show will be ending after Series 10! http://i2.cdnds.net/14/09/618x412/soaps-waterloo-road-tommy-lawrence-knight-abby-mavers.jpg Announcing the news on Twitter, the broadcaster said it was "incredibly proud of the show". "Series 10 of #WaterlooRoad will be the final series. We're incredibly proud of the show but believe it has reached the end of its lifecycle. "We still have a further 20 episodes to look forward to before #WaterlooRoad finishes in 2015, and we'll be sending the show out on a high." A new drama is expected to fill Waterloo Road's 8pm slot when the series bows out. The secondary school television drama - produced Shed Media - first appeared on BBC One in March 2006 and has won several awards over its eight year history, including the Most Popular Drama award in the 2012 National Television Awards and Most Popular Drama Series at the 2013 Inside Soap awards. In 2011, the series was controversially relocated from Rochdale to Scotland, which some cast members criticised at the time. The show has also been successfully exported across the globe to countries including Spain, Australia and Estonia. BBC One Controller Charlotte Moore and BBC Drama Controller Ben Stephenson said: "We are incredibly proud of Waterloo Road, and would like to thank Shed Productions and all the cast and teams involved across the ten series. "However, we believe it has reached the end of its lifecycle and won't be returning after series 10 finishes in 2015. On BBC One it's important to make room for new drama and we are committed to commissioning new drama series for 8pm. There are some really exciting ideas currently in development but nothing to confirm yet." BBC Scotland's Head of Programmes Donalda MacKinnon added: "When we originally committed to making 50 hours of Waterloo Road in Greenock we did so for a number of reasons which included boosting drama production skills here in Scotland, as well as improving training and development opportunities for the future. "We were very pleased to significantly increase our commitment to 70 hours recently and that was partly thanks to the efforts of the Greenock community who helped make the move happen so smoothly and who made cast and crew so welcome. It's always sad when any long-running show comes to an end and I know the Waterloo Road team will miss Greenock - as will fans of the show. "Our firm aim now, however, is to use that to continue growing the TV and the wider creative sector here in Scotland utilising the increased skill base arising from Waterloo Road to build up future home-grown culturally representative output." So sad to see something I've grown up with finally coming to an end :cry: but I would agree with them that it's come to its natural end (even if it stopped being as amazing as it once was a long time ago). Hope we get an amazing episode to finish on!
April 2, 201411 yr Well that explains it. Looks like it's taken a blow by Calum Sky Plussing the episode to watch half of it instead :(
April 2, 201411 yr :lol: -- This should have ended long ago, no decents actors left in it now. It all went to shit when Rachel left.
April 2, 201411 yr :lol: -- This should have ended long ago, no decents actors left in it now. It all went to shit when Rachel left. As usual, incorrect opinion. Laurie Brett is one of the best they've ever had! Other than that, you're correct.

April 2, 201411 yr April stahp Let's just appreciate the many MOMENTS Laurie's given us before the show's time is up :snif: http://i.imgur.com/uoTffmC.png
April 2, 201411 yr let's go back and remember the many moments of Rachel tbh. 1) standing in front of the digger as the school collapsed around her z75W9yXpjrM 2) basically all of 3.20 (the fire and the school finding out she was a hoe) ah9AsD4Y7yg 3) going back into the school after the gun shot zcj1L_cLxiI True Queen.
April 2, 201411 yr The end of this shows life cycle was at least 3 years ago if not longer. Truly great for a long time but shocking over the last few years.
