For anyone who doesn’t remember the show or never got a chance to watch it, Waterloo Road was a school-based drama which ran from 2006 till 2015.

The series dealt with a number of different topics including mental illness, teen pregnancy, cancer, LGBTQ+, weapon violence, gangs and grooming.

During its run the cast frequently changed, however there are a number of actors who you will recognise if you’re a soap fan.
