Episode 2.7

As a person with MS I find your program is representing this disease in a manner which is both alarming and offensive. Whilst I appreciate the nature of the program is not there to focus on MS itself, if you are going to touch upon this disease, at least show the people that suffer from this illness the respect they deserve. You do no favours at all by adding in throwaway comments like you did tonight about "a life time of incontinence" and "you can always use cannabis" these comments can be understood by people with MS but to those who have family with MS, or are just being diagnosed themselves it can be very upsetting and scary. You have been very irresponsible not backing your comments up with a back story to those statements. I shall not be watching your program again.

As a teacher who used to teach in Rochdale in the 80s, and who's just retired early because of MS, then, when Lorna began to suffer the symptoms I know only too well, I turned to my wife and said, "Hmm. Sounds like MS."; The blunt way Lorna was told she had MS was a shock and I'm finding the way she subsequently handles her illness to be fascinating and a contrast to my way, for, of course, we all handle it differently. Hope Lorna is as lucky with her MS as I've been with mine.

I can't believe we're over halfway through the series already - I'm going to be so sad when it comes to an end! This episode was one of the best I thought, although the whole love triangle thing with Tom, Izzie and Lorna is getting tiresome. Too much time is devoted to it when I'd much rather just watch Kim and Andrew! I have my fingers crossed that they'll get together soon as things looked more promising this episode! Best line was Kim asking Andrew, "has anyone ever told you you can be quite pompous?" and him responding, "yes, you...several times"! Classic! I love them!

Jack's still gorgeous, as is Tom and Andrew's not bad either! The series has followed on well from the first. Although I'm not happy about the direction Tom and Izzie's relationship has gone in, I wanted them to be happy and for Izzie to have the baby. Lorna's unforgivable for making her lose it, I just hope Izzie gets back together with Tom because they're meant to be. So are Andrew and Kim - why's it taking so long?

I love Waterloo Road. The storylines tackle real life issues in a hard-hitting yet sensitive way. All the characters are great, especially Andrew Treneman. I really want him and Kim Campbell to sort out their issues and get together. There's never been a better case of opposites attract.

Two weeks without Waterloo Road because of Comic Relief - how am I going to survive? I'm absolutely addicted to this show! There's a great mixture of storylines, some about school life and some about the teachers private lives, I love them all! Kim and Andrew are my favourite characters - please get them together!

I think this series is brilliant. I work in a large secondary school and the issues raised, although farfetched and highly emphasised, they create a true to life sense of life in a secondary school as a member of staff and a student, in a Grange Hill style. I am disappointed you are having a break although for a worthy cause. This is the only programme in television that I actually watch. Don't stay away too long. Get creating that 3rd series. We want more!!!

I can't imagine that schools (even really bad ones) are actually like this, with so much drama going on all the time and the teachers having such complicated love lives, but nevertheless I love Waterloo Road! There's certainly never a dull moment and all the storylines keep me interested. I think it'll be explosive when Jack finds out about Davina and Brett, and let's hope that Kim and Andrew get together soon... if only to stop my girlfriend squealing at the TV every time they come on!
