    they can almost pretend the move never happened

    Jane Beale, as i will continue to call her, could be shown waking up and it transpires that everything that's ever happened in Waterloo Road previously was an alcohol-induced dream of hers and the school has always been in Scotland.

    If it's good enough for Crossroads...

    It'd be very current (re- the Dallas reboot) if Grantly got out of the shower and it was all a dream.

    Get rid of Michael and replace him with Alex Norton's character Gerard Finlay because he's a far far better actor (I'm struggling to think why he's in this car crash of a show tbh)

    I'm actually dreading watching tonight. It's become far too soapy and it's not escapism, its just crap

    Alright all? Episode three tonight! Finally caught up, went about two weeks not watching the new series, just because things got in the way. Watched episode one last night and episode two today, with episode three tonight. All pretty good! Was a tad worried for the show when I learnt of the move to Scotland but it's worked really well.

    Cannot wait for tonight! :D

    (and so glad O' Children was used at the end of episode two)

    Caught up with Episode 2 this morning. Enjoyed it way more than the opener, to say the least. For the first time, there was a line that really bugged me with how 'off' it sounded - Sian talking to Tariq about Denzil's death "That wasn't karma, it was just very sad". It sounded odd to me, but then maybe I hadn't woken up properly, I don't know.
    Enjoying the storyline involving Connor and his mother the most. Other storylines seem to be moving a little slow - the only character I really don't like is Rhiannon, but I don't think I'm meant to like her. Looking forward to the third episode tonight :D

    I also really, really want a trench coat like the one Connor was wearing near the end of the episode, but I can't seem to find one in that particular browny-tint anywhere :(

    *staring at WR with baffled face*

    I'm a bit late to this and have Googled the answer as to how / why but remain bemused at a school moving to Scotland. Mind you, there was a precedent with Grange Hill moving from London to Liverpool (equally odd). If it were a company, maybe, but a school??

    Also bewildered by Scottish Jane Beale. Also Googled and that is her real accent. Mind blown.

    Not only that but you'd think he has enough to do and worry about in his own school without skulking around another one...

    I'm glad they haven't just forgotten about some of the other characters who have left :)

    In any other school a strange man roaming the corridors would at the very least, illicit a phone call to the police.

    In McWaterloo Road, any Tom, Dick, Harry or rival headmaster seems to have carte blanche to do what they want...

    I still really don't like Michael. I wish Rachel could come back. I do think a headmistress works better. :)
