The Acting Is Even Worse Than I Remember. I Love It.
So everyone's (or at least my) favourite terrible school drama, Waterloo Road, is back! The first episode of Series Eight wasn't one of its best, but I have to give it credit for compressing an entire series of Waterloo Road into a single hour.
Seriously, it had

And, oh lord, Dangan Rompa ;~~~; That series just sort of broke my heart far too much this past episode.
I KNOW. Dangan Ronpa is so distressing. Although it was great to see Togami's meltdown.
when I saw Josh and Tariq continually being in scenes together, I thought "Riona's gonna love this!". ...Is that sad of me?
I don't know about 'sad', but it's certainly accurate. BE IN ALL THE SCENES TOGETHER, GUYS. Well, all right, Josh can have a few scenes alone with Tom. But BE IN MOST OF THE SCENES TOGETHER.
I don't know exactly what Tariq's situation is, but certainly his behaviour seems to imply it's expected to be a permanent or at least a long-term thing. Come to think of it, I think physical disability is one of the very few Big Issues Waterloo Road hasn't really tackled yet. It'll be interesting to see how it's handled.

I believe myself and timydamonkey high-fived each other after reading this reply~ ♥
But now that I have caught up with Waterloo Road, I can safely say a few things:
1. Chalky + Janeece. I KNEW this would happen and now I'm not sure whether to be happy or worried that they'll do something stupid, like rob a bank; Waterloo Road is well known for breaking people's hearts!
2. Poor Rose - first Sam, and now Denzil :( I half expect her to have some sort of vedetta against Waterloo Road for some reason
3. Rhiannon is a closeted lesbian with a massive lesbian crush on Scout, and is in total denial about it. It's so obvious or maybe I'm reading into things too much; she's just like Quinn with her massive crush on Rachel ... again, it's possible I'm reading into things too much.
4. the implied beginnings of a love trianglePersonally, I believe it's a love pentagon with Scout, Phoenix, Connor, the Mysterious-girl-who-got-lines-and-looked-like-Emily ( ... )

2. I know! The first thing I said on learning about Denzil was 'God, the poor Kelly family.' A third Kelly child is in prison because of Waterloo Road-related events, too. (Although I suppose what happened to Sam wasn't anything to do with the school.)
3. I'm wary of such interpretations purely because Emily was never revealed to have a massive lesbian crush on Scott, and she so did. The massivest. I've never been so astounded by one character's failure to kiss another ( ... )

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about his new drinking buddy although I really hope he doesn't end up having an affair with her! D: And, now that I think about it, Michael will probably get his Scottish pulling power because, clearly, this is something he can pull out of his blazer pocket out in full effect with Sian and the other lady (the benefactor to the school who clearly wants to create a Hunger Games type situation with this design contest - I mean, seriously? Offering a bunch of teenagers £5,000? That's always going to lead to good things(!) or I could be very cynical)
I'll be honest, when I first read your list although I didn't mention it earlier because I've literally only just remembered because I'm clever, I thought I read that there were hintings of a possible teacher/student affair, so, when I was watching Waterloo Road, I was looking out for where this relationship was, and I thought it was ( ... )
