Adam Thomas shares personal message on grief nearly three years after battling to save his dad's life

Adam Thomas has opened up about his journey with grief almost three years after he tried to save his dad's life. The Waterloo Road star shared a clip from the latest episode of BBC One show which sees his character, Donte Charles, talking about the loss of his wife, Chlo.

Fans were left both furious and in tears earlier this month when the hit school-based drama returned to screens for the first time in almost eight years. 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 new series has also seen Adam reprise his role as Donte and fans were thrilled that Katie Griffiths also returned to the role of Chlo and that the former teenage sweethearts could be seen several years on with two children of their own, Izzy and Tommy, played by Adam's real-life niece and son.
