Here is the synopsis of what happened in the last episode of the last series.

There are kids in different uniforms as Waterloo road has merged with a private school in the area.

Oh thank you, it's coming back to me now.

I think I can help you with the deputy head - he was in a brilliant drama a few years back called 'Burn it' (bbc3 then bbc2).

NM resigned and he and Rachel split up.

Another posh local school has merged with Waterloo Road and brought some new teachers in as well.

Tom Chambers is the executive head of 4 local schools but W'loo Road is being run soooo badly, he is going to spend most his time there.

Rachel feels undermined.

Tom Chambers (Max) has started shagging Kim.

The deputy head is new and I like him - can't remember what else he was in but it was somthing I really should remember.

I heart Waterloo Road; it's my guilty pleasure because I'm a teacher. I am loving being able to to the tv and mutter 'Yeah cost thats'd happen', just like dh does at Holby City and my dad used to at London's Burning!

Can anyone remember what happended at the end of the last series?

What happended to Neil Morrisey?

Why are there new pupils in different uniforms?

Saw an interview with Tom Chambers where he said he ended up hating his character. I can see why!

Just watching it as I sky+ed it.

Am I the only one that finds Tom Chambers a bit slimy?

I agree the original head was great and missed. Love Grantley - reckons he can say what he likes as he's not looking to progress.

Will Kim get a nice romance?

ooh Tom Chambers is hot!

But I think he might be a baddie as it looks like he might have had a liaison with Helen the young teacher when she was underage so he will leave cos he will get found out!

So is Neil Morrisey not in it anymore?

isn't it illegal to have a deputy the same age as the pupils?
