Top 50 Waterloo Road Characters

A THREAD
50. Donte Charles

An OG so I would feel rude not to put him on this list, but there’s just something about him that does not sit well with me!

The way he said ‘babe’ every 5 seconds made my skin crawl & THAT hair in Series 1! VILE!
49. Lewis Seddon

Probably my favourite out of all the villains of the show.

Looked a bit like Crazy Frog.

Tried to set Mr Rimmer on fire which was a Waterloo Road classic moment!
48. Carol Barry

Our scouser Carol. What in Gods name was going through her head when she decided to call her son Barry Barry!?

BUBBLY’S IN THE FRIDGE!!!
47. Rhiannon Salt

Jenny Ryan from the Chase! Why don’t folk speak about how our Vixen was on Waterloo Road more often!?

Loved her & Scouts love/hate friendship!
46. Zack Diamond

Utterly OBSESSED with his hatred towards his Dad!

Went to drastic lengths of changing his surname on the school system & getting a DNA test purely cause he was repulsed at the thought of being related to SCUM Jez Diamond who thought he was piggin’ Ronaldo!
45. Finn Sharkey

To put it simply, a nasty piece of work I would not wish to meet.

Sambuca deserved better than to spend her final days with this sociopath! That being said, we love a scouser!
44. Vicki MacDonald

So obsessed with her Claudia Winkelman fringe! I can’t stop thinking about that time her & Grantly had a dance off on Comic Relief!
43. Eleanor Chaudry

Everyone hates this Tory, but I’m slightly obsessed I can’t lie! When Chalky lost it and started shouting at our Eleanor for her bullying ways in front of all the kids and she just simply stormed off.

She did end up saving the school so we love her!
42. Bex Fisher

Our Sarah Lou off Corrie! Karen Fishers missing daughter who of course returned back home willingly just as Karen had started at Waterloo Road!
41. Amy Porter

A bad bitch through and through! The fact that her & Finn fell in love with each other in the space of 10 minutes and then, you guessed it, both tried to kill themselves to live happily ever after in HELL! Only on Waterloo Road folks!
40. Michaela White

Michaela White, loud mouth! Waterloo Roads dark horse! A powerful woman of the night! DON’T mess with her!
39. Mika Grainger

FUMING at how she treated our Lorna and Davina! She had a GAWJUS set of gnashers mind you!

Tried to kill herself because her ‘best friend’ was bullying her then 2 seconds later she was happy as Larry! What in GODS name was that all about!?
38. Denzil Kelly

A good egg was our Denzil. Tragic death though. Thank god he never got with that nasty piece of work Emily James!
37. Nikki Boston

ARMY TART!

A controlling woman who knows what she wants. Gorgeous hair!
36. Helen Hopewell

The most anxious woman on planet earth, Helen Hopeless! Obsessed with the fact she was a teacher yet never stopped banging on about how much she hated teenagers. Same dalrin’!!!!
35. Jack Rimmer

This man did not mess around! Our violent leader! They don’t make TV these days like how they did when he was in the show! He didn’t last 30 minutes without being punched or punching someone else!
34. Audrey McFall

Obsessed with the way she just glides around everywhere whilst wearing some stunning knitwear. I’d love to have a cuppa and gossip with our Audrey!
33. Karen Fisher

Looked like Hilary Clinton & sounded like Teresa May! Karen was NO Rachel though!
32. Lauren Andrews

Quasimodo! End of!
31. Matt Wilding

When he came back is Series 7, I honestly thought it was Shirley Carter for a split second! Not really that fantastic of a singer in my opinion!
30. Sian Diamond

Mutton dressed as lamb! Our blazer wearing Queen Bee! She definitely shops at M&S, I can just tell!

When she slapped Barry Barry and the whole nation rejoiced!
29. Jasmine Koreshi

Our Glaswegian Queen! WHO ARE YA!? I’ll see you Jimmy! Obsessed with her stunning footy skills!
28. Jo Lipsett

Adored this LGBTQ icon!

When she sang in the talent show & made a pigs ear of herself!
27. Josh Stevenson

I constantly think about the time he thought he had measles and kept singing ring a ring a roses. He had a new story line every 5 seconds! I couldn’t keep up with it all!
26. Izzie Redpath

An OG! Everyone loved this Geordie Queen. Her shock twist stabbing was a fan favourite! Lorna would’ve been laughing down on her I’m sure!
25. Aleesha Dillon & Danielle Harker

Decided to lump these two gals together as they were basically joined at the flamin’ hip! Surely it can’t just be me who gets VERY strong lesbian vibes from these two!?
24. Maxine Barlow

Steph Haydocks’ adopted daughter. Still fuming to this day that she got caught up with scum Earl Kelly which ended up in the shows most shocking death.

I loved her & Janeeces friendship greatly!
23. Tom Clarkson

A long standing member of Waterloo Road. The fact this man was in it from the very first episode then all of a sudden he fell to his death whilst trying to save 2008 Britain’s Got Talent winner, George Sampson! Classic.
22. Jodi ‘Scout’ Allen

Our Sinead Tinker off Corrie! Fuming that she was basically Dame Sambuca Kelly’s replacement, but a Waterloo Road legend none the less who would do anything not to get put into ‘Currrr’.
21. Ruby Fry

Lady Muck!! A right stuck up snob but we all loved her!

When she had a break down in her lesson and threw food at everyone. And then out of nowhere, she became an author and left!

Seems like the sort of person to go shopping in Lidl or Aldi with a Waitrose bag!
20. Chlo Grainger

The OG stunner! Gave birth in the school toilets (of course) to baby Jesus. The fact her and Donte practically lived in a Caravan at the front of the school.
19. Security Dave

Les/Lesley off Benidorm! His talents were waisted as a Security guard! Should’ve been head teacher after Rachel in my opinion.

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that him and Steph Haydocks son is Matt Healy from The 1975.
18. Christine Mulgrew

The drunken empress of Scotland!

To think Laurie Brett was on Waterloo Road & Eastenders at the same time! The hardest working woman in the UK!

Queen of doing the most perfect Scottish accent!
17. Adanna Lawal

Kim Campbell 2.0!

Jenny Edwards off Tracy Beaker! FUMING that she was only in it for 10 episodes!

Flamin’ love this man hating goddess!
16. Kim Campbell

Our feminist icon! She knew she was the cream of the crop, and that she was! She didn’t half drone on mind you!
15. Karla Bentham

Queen of Aspergers!

When she whacked Grantley round the head with a chair.

I love the fact that her Aspergers was basically never mentioned again after her first episode!
14. Rhona & Shona Mansfield

The modern day Daisy and Violet Hilton! Their rendition of ‘Waterloo’ was better than ABBA in my opinion. GAWJUS vocals!
13. Maggie Budgen

Our lovable mistress! I can’t stop thinking about when Grantly proposed to her & yes folks, a lorry came crashing into them! Of course it did! One of the most memorable moments. I love our Margaret! Loved by all the kids!
12. Linda Radleigh

Stevie Sutton! Psychotic, obsessed, shrunken elf of a friend!

She ran over Michael at full speed then got out the car & laughed in his face whilst he laid their unconscious. We love a winner!
11. Janeece Bryant

Gobshite! Always looking for a bit of drama & gossip! I loved it when she returned as the school secy!

I honestly wanted Janeece & Chalky to get married I can’t lie!
10. Rachel Mason

The BEST head teacher of Waterloo Road!

Surprised Marvel haven’t hired her after that time she saved a child from a caravan & almost got blown up to smithereens! I wonder what her and Fat Adam are up to these days?!
9. Rose Kelly

Our Irish, drunken Queen. Her character progression is probably my favourite of them all.

Her & Candices’ friendship was my absolute favourite. Obsessed with her bob when she returned in series 7!

Maura Higgens from Love Island is a budget Rose Kelly.
8. Fleur Budgen

The life and soul of Waterloo Road. We all need a Fleur Budgen in our lives.

She got crumbs of screen time but I’m so obsessed with her ways. The fact she remembered who Grantly was the second before she died made me weep big time!
7. Candice Smilie

Gina from The Dumping Ground! Loved how much she cared about ‘Our Bolton’!

Most notable for accidentally blowing up the school canteen and almost killing everyone!
6. Lorna Dicky

MENTAL LORNA! I adore this attention seeking, depressed Queen!

Obsessed with the way she was over the moon when she found out she had MS so she could blame Tom for it.

When she killed herself in that gorgeous silk dressing gown! A true Waterloo Road legend!
5. Sambuca Kelly

The nations sweetheart!

Her cancer storyline is the saddest thing I’ve ever watched in my entire life. The most devastating death in British television history. A Waterloo Road legend in my eyes.
4. Davina Shackleton

A gorgeous woman inside & out. We all loved Davina. Had a heart of gold!

The country wept when our Miss Shagathon got on that Eastmidlands train and was never seen again.
3. Daniel Chalk

The nicest man ever. Obsessed with the way he cycles everywhere.

When Chalky finally snapped at Janeece in front of a class of students over his concern of our Cheryl! Get this man an OBE costa pronto!
2. Steph Haydock

The banter of Waterloo Road!

Couldn’t teach French for toffee! When she planned to do a naked teachers calendar for all the students to buy.

Obsessed with her mischievous smirk.
1. Grantly Budgen

KING of Waterloo Road!

Our long standing leader & ESSENTIAL to the show! The most sarcastic man in the universe. Hated kids. Hated people. Hated absolutely everyone & everything EXCEPT from his darlin wife Fleur & Dame Maggie.

Best character in TV history!
I must give a special mention to these folks!
