BBC Waterloo Road's Angela Griffin teases mystery behind Kim's new role and reveals why show 'needed' to come back

She was known for her caring and passionate nature as Waterloo Road's head of pastoral care, but Kim Campbell is now set to return to the school with a brand new role. Angela Griffin, 46, joined the cast of the BBC 's school-based drama for its first series back in 2006, and despite being absent from series three, she played the straight-talking teacher up until 2010.

During her 30-year career, the Leeds actress has been a familiar face on British TV, having starred in Coronation Street for six years, as well as appearing in Emmerdale, Holby City, hosting her own daytime show on Sky1 and most recently appearing in Netflix's horror film Choose or Die.

Now, after more than 10 years since she was last in Kim's shoes, Angela will reprise her role in the new revised series of Waterloo Road, which is set to air in January 2023 - and this time Kim has been promoted to the school's headteacher.
