The end of an era

So that is it. The doors have closed and the final bell has rung.

Waterloo Road has finished.

I have always loved this show since I first discovered it back in series 4 and I am absolutely gutted that it has come to an end. Even though it was a fictional school there were times when I felt as though I was part of it and a pupil like all the rest. It's something I'm never going to forget. 

Multiply episodes have made me laugh, made me gasp in shock or in quite a few cases, cry my heart out. 

I thought, to celebrate the end of an extremely well-loved TV show, that we look back at some memories and best bits from the 10 series!

Personal favourite storylines/episodes of mine were;

Finn Sharkey's suicide attempt 

Tom Clarkson falling off the school roof

When Dynasty called the cops on her own brother

Christine Mulgrew's breakdown 

Josh Clarkson's schizophrenia storyline discovered from these breakdowns video clip video clip

When Lauren tried to burn off her birthmark scar with acid in hope that Josh would like her video clip

Justin confronting Leo about the cyberbullying video clip

There were many characters who I adored and will always remember from the years I watched (from left to right); Lauren Andrews, Vicki MacDonald, Finn Sharkey, Christopher Mead, Justin Fitzgerald, Dynasty Barry, Ronan Burley, Tom Clarkson and Janeece Bryant.

With the help of Chlo Winfield (over from @WaterlooRoadTV) we have complied a list of some memories and best bits! (I have done my best to find clips for each! If you want to watch full episodes there's many on youtube.)
