Waterloo Road

I dunno - I missed that part!

by **king_oxymoron** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 2:17 pm

I was talking and only briefly caught it - I wondered if it was Vicky? I can't remember if she got herself sorted or not?

Great episode though, the constant 'it's going to come out!', 'no it isn't' was great, glad it did finally! Hope Marcus kicks off as a result!

Is Steph back for good?

by **irishguy28** » Fri Oct 22, 2010 2:34 pm

I don't think so. I think it was mentioned some pages back that she would only be making brief reappearances throughout this season.

I found the episode really touching and glad that Grantley got to do some proper acting for a change!

Was a bit too 'everyone's happy' at the end though!

Did George Sampson ever join in the end? This coming series?

by **Wayne** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 3:28 am

^ Yeah he did. And Waterloo Road won an NTA, beating out Shameless!

More surprisingly, Doctor Who! Thank god, sick of DW winning every single year.

by **king_oxymoron** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 8:02 pm

I was there! Was quite a few shockers, really glad of that one though!

Tina O'Brien still sounds like she's got a blocked nose! :lol:

Woooo for Sharlene Whyte being the feisty head of pastoral care!!!

She was incredible as Adanna.

Also George Sampson was surpringly pretty good - really believable especially at the end you actually felt for him losing his dog!

Great opening episode.

I wish they would stop doing the pupil/teacher relationship thing which is obviously where Miss Montoya and Jonah seem to be going/

I know, I'm still under the idea of ''Piper is our Queen'' when it comes to Dr Who. Its still, just not the same

AMAZING first episode!
Janeece telling off the Year 11 boys made me laugh so much! HAHA!
I friggin love this show!

by **king_oxymoron** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 9:56 pm

Yeah it was an absolutely QUALITY episode, and George Sampson was absolutely BRILLIANT! So shocked, for someone whose primary skill is dance he was an absolute revelation!

There were funny parts (Josh, Finn and the dog, Janiece and the kids), there were dramatic parts (Bex and Kyle) and moving parts (Kyle at the end)

It kinda had everything, great start!

Yeah I was thinking "oh they're doing that again"? :roll:

Good first episode, I don't like George Sampson for his cocky comments over the years but he was a decent actor.

Another great episode.
The part where she was holding the baby over the stairwell was really emotional.

by **Thriller** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 11:59 pm

I thought the baby stuff was a bit boring, I preferred the Grantley stuff this week.

I have a love/hate relationship with Waterloo Road.

Hate:
-How characters disappear without an explanation at the end of a series
-The ever changing cast: I don't know why but they don't seem to hold on to actors for more than one or two series. Meanwhile, they keep the children on for longer than they should be there!
-The "character of the week" storylines, where we see the character and we're supposed to think they've been to the school forever, go through an issue with them, then never see them again.
-They use the same house for everyone's houses, Grantly's house from last week used to be the Kelly's house and i'm not sure who before (I only started watching series 4) :lol:

Love:
-It reminds me of Grange Hill 8-)

-It has Lucien Laviscount in it mmmmmmmmmmm
-It is perfect for a Wednesday evening when there is literally nothing else on TV.

Oh, and Tina O'Brien's sister in it looks like a cross between the new Lauren in Eastenders and Hilary Duff. Uncanny.

Gay Mickey from Shameless as Bex's "BF"? Hard to take seriously! :lol:

Miss Montoya

Lucky lad!

by **Thriller** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:07 pm

Chesney from Shameless basically playing the same character!

Anyone else think Tom and Karen are gonna end up having a fling?

by **king_oxymoron** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 9:30 pm

They certainly hinted at that today, wonder if it'll be as swept under the rug as Chris and Rachel?

Thought it was a bit dull this week until the end, which was admittedly quite good, glad Bex isn't totally disappearing once more!

Three Shameless cast now!

by **Wayne** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:04 pm

Really loved this week!

by **Blondini** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 8:16 pm

Jonah: "I'm 17..."
Cesca's brain: "...inches"

What was that electro track 10 minutes in that went "i'm not going where you're going"? It was like something off Skins!
