It's a new term at Waterloo Road and a new series of the school drama starring Jason Merrells as headteacher Jack Rimmer. Following the shocking murder of Izzie Redpath, Jack and the new deputy head, Eddie Lawson, are keen to promote their policy on inclusion: no matter the circumstances or abilities, all kids are welcome at Waterloo Road.

 

Although he won a bravery award for defending Izzie, Jack blames himself and is struggling. He's going through a private hell but the love of Davina Shackleton and a large supply of anti-depressants keep him afloat.

 

Meanwhile, Tom is also reeling after the death of Izzie and blames Jack. Now a single dad to Chlo and Mika, Izzie's daughters, Tom is plunged into another family crisis when he finds out Chlo and Donte have taken off to get married. He is faced with a race against time to get to the register office.

 

Steph Haydock is relishing her new position as head of pastoral care, but disaster looms as a new inclusion pupil, Karla Bentham, who has Asperger's syndrome, is placed in her less-than-capable hands. Utter chaos ensues when English teacher Grantly Budgen is on the receiving end of one of Karla's violent outbursts.

 

Young, newly qualified teacher Jasmine Koreshi arrives for her first day. She's dreading her first class and is desperate for advice from the other teachers. Bets are taken on how long she will last.

 

Dishy new drama teacher Matt Wilding arrives late for his first day but is an instant hit with the girls. He has a secret, however: a gorgeous boyfriend. Winging it, Matt promises Jack a school musical extravaganza – the only problem is he's got to write it.

 

Jack Rimmer is played by Jason Merrells, Eddie Lawson by Neil Morrissey, Davina Shackleton by Christine Tremarco, Tom by Jason Done, Chlo by Katie Griffiths, Mika by Lauren Drummond, Steph Haydock by Denise Welch, Karla Bentham by Jessica Baglow, Grantly Budgen by Philip Martin Brown, Jasmine Koreshi by Shabana Bakhsh and Matt Wilding by Chris Geere.

 

 

 

Sounds good! :D

Won't be the same without Jill Halfpenny though!

:(

So

Izzie definitely did die then. I assumed they were going to use her as a will-she-won't-she-survive as the big opening storyline.

Shame,

Jill is a great actress :( Still, perhaps the new ones will keep things going nicely.

ahhh I cant wait for this to come back on :D:D

nearly there

I didn't really watch this for the two first series, but I watched the last episode of S2 online and shockingly, it was great.

It really is great, but I missed most of season 2 due to not having a TV last year at Uni ... will have to get the DVD!

Glad series 3 is going to be 20 episodes aparntly :)

 

 

It is a shame about Izzie, it is the BBC's fault Jill Half Penny who plays her wanted to do some more shows as well as waterloo road, but the bbc were you have to be 100%commited to this or your out, so she quit. (apparently)

 

Yay a gay teacher lol, he will probably turn out to be straight or seduced by a student. That or he will be attacked by the students.

 

 

I dunno how much of this i will be able to see though due to me being at uni, will try and watch it before I go out in the evening though lol. (by go out in the evening i of course mean do work)

I loved the first series and have yet to see the second series!

But it won't be the same now...

I loved it for its cheesy over-dramatic-ness :D

Can't wait for the third series. Watched the first because i knew people in it - now i watch it because its just so good!

Ooh thanks for that! Good to get the heads up - i love this show!

I like the fact its got loads of people you recognise in it

I enjoyed the previous two series, so will look forward to this one.

:cheer: Can't wait!!

im like what im seeing SO far, wonder if they do get married

the girl with autism is amazing

I thnk im really gonna like the storyline, so I hope it goes on for a while

wouldn't say no to a bit of Donte :naughty:

My mom works with kids with Aspergers. It'd be interesting to know if this girl is acting convincingly but I can't ask as me and my mom aren't speaking atm. -_-

 

Anyway it was great! Thought the quality would go right down what with it being such a long series produced in a short period of time, but it's great ^_^ And Janice is the most loveable chav ever!

wouldn't say no to a bit of Donte :naughty:
