Lindsey Coulson on joining Waterloo Road as its new no-nonsense head teacher
-
The last series of BBC1's Waterloo Road ended on an almighty cliffhanger as head teacher Steve Savage and his son, Billy, were arrested by police over the 'accidental' death of bully boy Boz – events which have resulted in the Manchester comprehensive being dubbed 'the murder school'.
As Waterloo Road throws open its gates for a new term this week, who's got what it takes to repair its damaged reputation? Step forward Dame Stella Drake, ex-Ofsted director turned new head teacher, played by ex-EastEnders actor Lindsey Coulson.
