Popular BBC school drama Waterloo Road is making a dramatic return to our screens tonight (Tuesday, January 2). Series 13 will feature eight new episodes, which will continue to explore real-life topics affecting teenagers, their families and school staff.

Viewers will also be introduced to five newcomer students; Hattie Dynevor, the daughter of Sally Dynevor who played Sally Metcalfe on Coronation Street, and sister Phoebe, who starred as Daphne in hit Netflix show Bridgerton.
Other storylines include Preston Walters looking set to leave the Sixth Form as the impact of his bulimia nervosa damages his school life.
