At just 17-years-old Adam Thomas joined the cast of the first ever series of Waterloo Road with no idea what lay ahead. The actor from Salford was cast as bad boy pupil Donte Charles, whose relationship with Chlo Grainger, played by Katie Griffiths, became a staple of the BBC school based drama.
Viewers followed the pair's rollercoaster love life which spanned across four series and saw them get married at just 16 and featured one of the show's most memorable moments where Chlo gave birth to their daughter Izzie in the school toilets. The couple left the show at the end series four as they moved into a house together to bring up their child.
When it was announced that Waterloo Road would be returning with a brand new series in 2023, fans were thrilled to hear that the popular couple would be making a much anticipated comeback. More than 10 years since they were last on screen, this time the couple will navigate life as adults as they bring up their daughter Izzie, played by Adam's real-life niece Scarlett Thomas, and son Tommy, played by Adam's son Teddy.
