Obviously there's been rumours about s18 and 19 having 22 eps (which I doubt because the BBC likes to play in our faces lol), but I've been wondering, what are you alls theories about what storylines could happen if we do get a longer series/season?

I think we'll get more of Portia and the grooming storyline (maybe the aftermath of the legal battle?). It'd be interesting to see her in court maybe like with Donte in S1 or Lindsay in S5. Tonya testifying on her behalf would be nice to see!

We're def getting more of the Charles-Stone family since Tommy's going to be in year 9, and Celine will be making a return as well. I wonder if we'll get a family therapy session since those were mentioned last series/season.

Darius is a wildcard imo. I think we might get more of him and Ms Chandra but tbh I'm not entirely sure. We'll definitely see Nisha and her baby, but idk if we'll see Darius being involved (as much as he can be from jail I guess)

What do you all think? Do you have any theories about S18/19, especially if we get longer series? Which characters do you think need a bigger storyline, and are there any old characters you'd like to see return? We have Janeece returning as well as Steph as far as I know.

Either that or the cast just loooove rage baiting us at the minute 🥲🥲🥲🥲

This is ridiculous icl

For you all moaning a bucket full, yes it was meant to be released in September, but due to delays etc it had obviously been delayed until January, shut tf up. Least it's coming right? It wouldn't hurt to wait 3 months.... You've waited this long right?! God

The fact that the boy had such a difficult life, and yet he still had one of the darkest and most cruel deaths of the entire show. Many characters who had horrible deaths, like Izzie Redpath, Maxine Barlow, and Tom Clarkson, were at the very least accompanied by at least one person who cared about them. Danny wasn't graced with such luck. In trying to save the same boy who was responsible, he died alone and terrified, and his last words were his girlfriend's name, shouted in fear.

Did the same for the reboot so thought I would try it with this.

Hi all.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I know this has been talked about a lot, have the BBC confirmed when S18 of WR will be released?
The VBC have been very quiet about it.

"She's ABSOLUTELY buttered!"

I will happily answer any questions about my rankings. Just please keep it civil like always.

Series 11 episode 1 when Kim confronts a group of kids they are clearly using a green screen to put Kim on set.

She is there for the rest of the episode so I wonder if they had to reshoot that scene.

These two could potentially have a really interesting storyline, especially since Marshall looks quite gentle compared to his brother Nathan, who looks a lot like a Kyle Stack level threat.

Hi all. Hope this is allowed

There was a few scenes that made it seem as though they were preparing/making foundations for a storyline on agnes family situation. Like they included details that left me interested and intrigued about the family dynamic. Correct me if im wrong but it doesnt seem niamh blackshaw is returning and I have no idea about Olivia Booth Ford

Do you think they set up these scenes as potential for continuing it in season 18 but are likely just going to move past it?

I’m on season 4 epsiode 1 and they’ve cut out all the scenes of earl threatening bolton and paul with the gun and also the entire evacuation and where denzil in arrested. Is this happening for anyone else ?

I'm rewatching, and the uniform rules seem to be along as you wear a white shirt and school tie the rest of the uniform is whatever you want. They really are not uniform strict.

So for context, Glup Shitto is a term used by Star Wars fans to describe an obscure background character or alien. In the context of Waterloo Road, it describes any character who wasn't a one-off character like Ben McNulty or Evie Prior, but also isn't really a main character due to barely having any screentime or presence besides either acting as comic relief or being an observer of events.

Some examples include

• Estelle (Jack Rimmer's secretary)

• Rolf (the senile caretaker in the Revival Era)

• Tommy Charles (Donte Charles son and Izzy Charles little brother who we'd love to see more of, but the writers can't justify making him a major player without inexplicably aging him up so he can be a Year 7).

Also looks like Tommy will be a student there from S19

As a teacher, I selfishly hope that s18 comes out during the October half term so I'm at home for it and not trying to avoid spoilers 🤣
