What is the Waterloo Road series 15 plot?
New head Dame Stella Drake ushers in a new era at Waterloo Road, with a crackdown on rules. With parents and students up in arms, can Stella conquer the troubles of this generation?
A new cast member for the series, but not new to Waterloo Road having appeared in the original series, is Zeriozha Annika as Celine Stone. Speaking about the new series, she said: "So, Celine Dixon is now Celine Stone - she's remarried and has a son. In the first scene of the series, you'll see Celine walking into Waterloo Road with her son, Ashton Stone. The storyline navigates not only where she’s been but also introduces questions like, "Who’s this kid and who’s the father?"
"The storyline takes quite a few twists and turns. I think the fans will be excited to see how we've developed the character. Also, the actor who plays my son is a very strong character throughout the entire series. You’ll see a lot of him."
