Adam Thomas was delighted to reprise the role of Donte Charles when BBC One school drama Waterloo Road season 11 returned earlier this year. But loyal fans were shocked as Donte’s wife — childhood sweetheart Chlo — was killed off in the very first episode!
With the staff and pupils back at Waterloo Road for a new term, caretaker Donte has been adjusting to life as a single father to daughter Izzy (played by Adam’s real-life niece Scarlett Thomas, 14) and son Tommy (Adam’s real-life son Teddy Thomas, eight), and is pondering what his future holds.
