Waterloo Road fans 'p****d off' as huge change is made for reboot as they plead with other viewers

Fans of Waterloo Road have found themselves pleading with other viewers after a huge change was made to the rebooted series. Those who watched the school-based drama the first time around were thrilled in 2021 when the BBC announced it would be reviving the show.

The new series marks Waterloo Road'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 while it is a new series, the new era of Waterloo Road also features original cast members including Adam Thomas, who has reprised the role of former bad boy pupil-turned-parent Donte Charles, and his on-screen partner Chlo, played by Katie Griffiths, as well as Angela Griffin as the school's new head teacher, Kim Campbell.
