Megathread of Waterloo Road

And then there was one original left :'(

Tom Clarkson was the best teacher imo, his character developed so much from the first series when he didn't really care, to being the best teacher of the lot and a brilliant man.

I had no idea he was leaving

Tbh, the show won't be the same anymore, not sure how much longer I'll stay loyal.

R.I.P Mr Clarkson, my favourite character! Actually cried this episode, so emotional.

Does anyone know if Michael's returning!?

Big congrats to Jason Done for fantastic performances all the way throughout Waterloo Road. Tom Clarkson is by far the best character in this series; was hoping that Tom miraculously survived the fall, but it isn't to be

So only Grantly Budgeon remains...

Getting seriously close to stop watching this show

Interesting how for everyone Tom gets very close too ends up in disaster for them.

Lorna dickey (romance): Suicide
Izzy Redpath (romance): Stabbed (died)
Davina Shakleton (romance): Left forever after three disastrous school relationships (including one with a child).
Rose Kelly (romance): Two of her children dead, one assaulted by police officer, one on life imprisonment
Georgina Stevenson (romance): Stole sperm, raised child in secret then dumped him on Tom when teenager.
Francesca Montoya (romance): Ends up imprisoned after getting pregnant and married to a school child
Eleanor chaudry (romance) : Most likely sacked
Chloe (Foster child): Partly responsible for a car crash which caused the death of a school friend.
Mica (Foster child) : Ends up with environmental activists that nearly cause her expulsion and Toms death.
Josh (Child) : Ends up with paranoid schizophrenia and later in serious amounts of debt.
Grantly (best friend): Late stage kidney failure, Wife dies of early onset alzheimer's.
Tom (himself): Fell off the roof (died)

He's leaving too, though

Who's Eleanor?

Can see Mika, Chlo, Josh, Dante & Brett all coming back for at least a couple of episodes
Kyle Stack could be a regular I think next series will start with his murder trial

Too many teachers die in Waterloo road - and students

Did anyone notice that Tom Clarkson was basically introduced running out onto the roof to help someone (the initial headmaster who had a mental breakdown) and he died doing the same?

Ooh, good catch. I didn't notice that (despite having watched that episode last week), but maybe that's why they chose that exit route for him. I saw a thing on Twitter about how his death scene was similar to Izzie's as the head tried to help (sort of, neither Rimmer nor Mulgrew bothered with CPR) and held them in their arms as they died, both died in the playground, you see both their eyes close... I really hope they give him a remembrance plaque like Izzie had on the Rochdale site.

Nope, he's left for good I think.

Well you never know, the poor writing on the show may see him resurrected from the dead. Whilst the rest of the school find out they're developing mutant abilities due to Maggie Budgeon accidently putting nuclear waste in the schools chicken nuggets.
