Adam Thomas has shared a heartfelt tribute to his real-life niece after the pair stole the show in emotional scenes on Waterloo Road. The actor reprised his role as Donte Charles in the BBC one drama earlier this month and has been joined by someone he knows very well.
Fans were delighted in 2021 when the BBC announced it would be reviving the show and just days into the new year, Waterloo Road returned to screens for the first time in almost eight years after it was axed. The show, which ran from 2006 to 2015, was first filmed at Hill Top Primary School in Rochdale before relocating to Scotland. And the reboot has seen the team return to Greater Manchester.
The return of the much-loved show saw viewers get to catch up with Donte, played by former Emmerdale star Adam, and Chlo Charles, played by Kaie Griffiths, following their teenage love story at Waterloo Road in 2009. Viewers saw that the married couple now had two children of their own - Izzy and Tommy.
