The " Waterloo Road" series 6 thread

Knowing how crap Waterloo Road scheduling can be, 'the new year' could be anything from the first Wednesday in January to mid March!

I wonder how many characters will have disappeared without trace by episode 11? :D
 
Hope you all enjoyed Episode One

Episode 2 - Tonight - BBC One, 2/09/2010 8PM

New head teacher Karen Fisher is clearly in her element at Waterloo Road and is joined at the school by her husband, Charlie, who is starting as a supply teacher. However, when 15-year-old Harry finRAB a suspicious message on Charlie's mobile about a lunchtime assignation, he begins to suspect his dad is having an affair. Harry dials the number on the text and is shocked to hear new Spanish teacher Cesca answer. He desperately enlists Sambuca's help and they follow Charlie on his lunchtime rendezvous. Together they spy on Charlie with Cesca, taking a photo as evidence. When Harry later tells Karen she refuses to believe him and assures him that it must be innocent.


Enjoy :D
 
I think it would be a great if Finn and Josh got together - would be a brilliant 'gay' storyline as I don't think Waterloo Road has had one as of yet.

I think it would fit well into the current storyline as Finn seems to currently be having trouble with Girls and Josh recently announcing hes Gay.
 
Four episodes in and this series just isn't clicking for me. There are so many faults, character personality transplants and the characters just aren't working together, like in previous series.

-The Amy/Finn romance which viewers invested in during series 5 seems to have been completely forgotten about, despite it being the main story for the 2nd half of series 5.
-Josh suddenly has feelings for Finn, despite showing no interest whatsoever in series 5.
-Tom refers to his son like he's known him since he was born when infact he's been living with him for about a year, if that.
-Ruby's sudden desire to have a child just doesn't fit with me. Ruby's character seems to have totally changed.
-The headteacher is too similar to Rachel Mason imo-strong, independant woman with personal problems of her own which is why I haven't taken to her, because I'm trying to compare her to Rachel. What they needed was someone completely different. Also the Fisher family seem to be in our faces all the time.


With Steph, Kim & Rachel gone there seems to be no proper character interaction, especially between teachers imo. Karen is too busy focusing on her family, Ruby on getting a family, Tom on his son, Grantly having a secret which isn't known to the audience yet and Cesca walking about like a spare part.

The incredibly fast pace of last nights episode and awful acting from Josh was cringeworthy. The gay plot should have been the long running storyline, not the teacher sleeping with student blackmail.

The only redeeming features so far are Janeece and looking forward to Steph's return and Grantly's secret revealed.

Very dissappointing so far-definitely the worst series yet by far. Hoping for things to improve...
 
Does anyone know what year Jess is supposed to be in? I'm sure she was in Sambucca's class for Spanish. So as Sambucca was doing GCSE Science, this would put in her year 11.

However, didn't Sambucca have her ball/prom at the end of the last series, which is normally at the end of year 11 as far as I know? And if she was in year 12, she wouldn't be in uniform would she, as I don't think Philip and co did last year?
 
indeed, Finn and Amy don't even seem to be together anymore but it was such BIG thing in series 5, also characters just disappear, any character who actually gets a proper exit is lucky. last series there was even a disappearance mid series of that luke kid with no explanation and his gf was seen dating someone else, very unprofessional, shows the show up for the rubbish it really is, i was a fan way back at the start but i am close to giving up on it now.
 
Yep, even when it's complete shite, it's still worth watching. Am still only on episode 2. Was very skeptical about Amanda Burton becoming the new Head, but she owned the show and role within 1 minute. Very impressive
