Adam Thomas shares truth of working with real-life son and niece on Waterloo Road as he declares 'stop blaming me'

Adam Thomas pleaded 'don't blame me' as he made his first TV appearance since Waterloo Road fans were left devasted by a twist in episode one of the new series. The actor, who has reprised the role of Donte Charles in the BBC's reboot of the show, appeared on Lorraine on Wednesday (January 4).

Waterloo Road fans had been eagerly waiting for the revival to his screens after it was announced back in 2021. The new series marks the school-based drama's first return to screens 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 and also seen some familiar faces come along for the ride too. While Adam has reprised the role of former bad boy pupil-turned-parent Donte, his on-screen partner Chlo, played by Katie Griffiths has also made a comeback as well as Angela Griffin as the school's new head teacher, Kim Campbell.
