I actually don’t think the move has been that bad, when you got adjust to all the new characters. There are some parts whicu are really repetitive of previous years but I don’t hate it.

I've finished Season 9 now, I've been so obsessed!! I really like Christine now, although I think Laurie Brett has been disappointing - I know this is her real accent, but as a fellow Scot it sounds so forced and her pronunciation really distracts me! I was so sad when Lula left, that last wee scene between her and Harley was cute. Also, Gabriella is a bad bitch!

Soz for the spam but I stuck with it and I’ve just finished Season 8, and it ended up being one of the better ones since 5 I thought- I really enjoyed the animal testing story with Lula, although I think I’d have preferred Grantlys exit to be from the coma! I couldn’t stand Lorraine/Sonya etc and also Christine is possibly my least favourite character ever as she is so unlikable. Does anyone else feel sorry for Kyle in the last episode?

So, I watched up until episode 2 of season 8, but the move to Scotland has definitely taken away any magic the show had for me so I think I’ll leave it at that!

Yeah the gang stuff and the Hit and run, right now I’m at Josh’s mental health issues too!

So, the second half of S7 has been way better than the first and all of S6 I’d say - the Siddiquis have been great additions and Lauren has been great too!

Hahahah you were right!

Okay, Linda is an absolute queen

YES! She is just so miserable I can’t deal! What do yous think about Trudi and Finn?

I know! Also, how unlikable is Vicki McDonald? I feel bad for poor Ronan he can’t do right for doing wrong!

I agree I liked Eleanor because I disliked Karen - I hated how they did the whole protest for Karen as if she was some great head when she really wasn’t!

I can’t take her seriously, i keep expecting her to hit out with some sort of Miranda style joke 😂

The whole arc with Earl was great, he was a great character! I’m enjoying S7 a little more now that they are focussing on the school, I enjoy the staffing issues etc and the newcomers Daniel, Sian, Linda etc are actually quite good!

I can’t stand him - one thing I’ve noticed in the latest season is that they introduce ‘bad boys’ who are bad for an episode or two, and then end up being nice until the plot requires it!

Yes! The storyline with Harley and Phoenix’s nan was so weird, and I’m just not ready to see Finn try it on with the new girl either!

I’m half way through season 7, just after the new headmaster etc and think I may just go back and watch 1-5 instead. I think Scout seems like just a bad replacement for Sam.

I’ve just watched the Blackpool episode and I think it’s one of the best hours of TV I’ve watched. Up until now I’ve not been keen on Lauren but the actress who played her was really sensational!

The management team for season 6 was horrible - I’m watching Season 7 atm and my heart is breaking for Sam, Hoping for a miracle!

Can I just say how much I dislike Chris Mead, he’s so hypocritical!

I was going to mention the Jonah and Cesca story, I’m watching it just now and can’t believe how they’re portraying it although it doesn’t help that Jonah looks about 35 I’m dreading the move to Scotland to be honest! I just rewatched the episode where Lindsay James attacks Karla - honesty broke my heart!

You know, I think through Rachels tenure there was such a focus on the school and how to make it better and you could tel she lived for it, whereas with Karen the job is clearly just that to her and the focus is on her family life. I’m so glad that Janeece came back, and Ruby has been a saving grace this series too!

I’m just at the end of Season 6 at the moment but really struggling to keep going / Kyle, Ronan, Vicky are no good substitutes and Karen Fisher has been atrocious. I miss Rachel - its weird because i wasn’t too fussed when Chlo/Dante etc left but Karla,Michaela etc leaving has disappointed me. At least Janeece is still there!

I’ve been watching Waterloo Road for the first time and I’m obsessed although I’m really sad as all the great characters seemed to leave at the end of Season 5 and theres such a noticeable dip in quality from 6. My favourite students were Danielle, Karla and Aleesha, they were so underrated. In terms of teachers I love Ruby, Steph and also Jasmine Koreshi!
