Waterloo Road

Anybody watch this, and is watching it now?

I've not had a chance to, so no spoilers please.

One of my friends at school is a backgreound character in it! but I don't watch it, not my thing.

I have seen one or two episodes in the past, seemed alright and was going to keep watching but lost interest in the end. Not really my kinda show I suppose.

Used to like it but I'm tired of them changing the cast every series. There's hardly anyone left now.

Same Scary, I'm a big fan but the thing is one minute my class was talking about it in DT at school, next minute we all thought it was rubbish. All I'm going to say is get back the Fishers!

I really hate this kind of program. I can see why people like it as it deals with things in life, people's problems and has interesting characters, but I really find this kind of thing a bit boring. Many of the people at school like it, but I'm not one of them. I can see why you've lost interest, Scary. If they keep changing the cast, you don't get to know a character. The you don't anticipate what might happen. A little dull. Glad some people like it and enjoy it. That is it's purpose after all.

They usually focus on a set cast for each series, but then as the year 11 cast leave and then there's teh arrival of the new year 7 cast, it just gets a bit hectic.

I really like how they make a division in the cast. It intrigues me to watch every series to see which family/pupil it will concentrate on.

Series 1 - Adam Deardon/Chlo/Donte - Car Crash
Series 2 - Brett Aspinall/Davina Shackleton - Love Affair Teacher/Pupil
Series 3 - Jack Rimmer/Rachel Mason - Jack leaving/Rachel as the head (prostitution exposure)
Series 4a - The Kelly family - Earl and Maxine/Rose and the school
Series 4b - Rose/Tom/Davina - Love triangle
Series 5a - Max/Kim/Rachel - Hatred between them & Emily/Lindsay - Court trial (Dad's murder)
Series 5b - Finn/Amy - Suicide/relationship
Series 6a - The Fisher family - Mayhem
Series 6b - The Fisher family - More mayhem
Series 7a - Karen Fisher/Eleanor Chaudry/Richard Whitman - Karen's sacking & Sambuca Kelly - Cancer storyline
Series 7b - Michael Byrne - Arrival & Jez/Sian/Michael - Love triangle & Phoenix/Harley/Nan - Nan's death

Watching it now, Jez is suppose to get slapped if I remember rightly isn't she?

Jez is a man. I think you mean Sian.

Well, what can I say? Tonight's episode was a MAJOR improvement to last week's. Last week's was included with violence, and trickery, and seductive acting, whereas this week, we returned to Waterloo Road.

Sian Diamond is just too sexy for me. The dinner scene was amazing, and funny at the same time, when Matt regurgitated what he was eating.

The episodes have been rather lame lately, but seeing Sian is really good... There's something "WOW!" about her.

This wasn't the best of episodes tonight, but Sian was still that irresistible, sexy person that she is.

Moving to Scotland was one of the best moves Waterloo Road has ever made.

The show is now in a vibrant, new environment, and it looks so much fresher and inviting.

Episode 8 was fantastic. Great to see Luke from SJA in it.

Kinda boring. I only watch it if there's nothing else on these days, and to be honest I don't watch the TV that much anyway so...

Episode 9 was fantastic! I really can't wait for the Part 1 DVD to be released.

Is it just me or has everyone realized that music tastes can be linked to watching or not watching Waterloo Road?

Must just be you.
