Well, it has been announced that Tina O'Brien has been offered a role in Waterloo Road.

She was considering going back into corrie, but after a terrible row were her partner who plays Jason Grimshaw in Corrie which destroyed their relationship, she has reconsidered.

I am sure that she will be a great asset to Waterloo Road which seems to be getting better with every episode.

Cant wait!!! :D:D:D

    As a teacher or a pupil ?

    Tina could still pass for a 15 year old which is a bit worrying for us pervy lechers.

    so she would be perfect as a "gym-slip" mum if the need arises

    I think she'll be a pupil.

    Jenna-Louise Coleman is 21/22 and plays a 16/17 year old on the show.

    She's 26, and Jenna-Louise Coleman (Emmerdale's Jasmine) who joined last series is 23 and played a pupil. Waterloo Road is not unknown for Dawson Casting.

    On the subject of "Dawson Casting" it made me smile that to make the principle stars look younger, the extras appearing as classmates, often just in the background of scenes, looked as if they were in their early twenties,

    Well seeing as Corrie is filmed in Manchester and Waterloo Road in Rochdale - it makes sense, with the whole "local" feel to some characters. Its only like EastEnders stars ending up in The Bill. Plus Brian Park (producer of Shed Productions who make WR) used to work on Corrie.

    Are the background pupils real teenagers?

    She was a good actress on corrie. Let's hope they don't make her character a bully.

    Oh right, that's real interesting to know! :)

    May-be Tina won't be a School-girl then as I get the impression Bex/Becky is older than Jess!

    There's been no suggestion of police involvement so she apparently is of legal age to care for herself.
