Waterloo Road fans furious after favourite character killed off in first episode after eight year break

WATERLOO Road fans are furious after a shock death in the new series.

The school drama has returned for a new series is back after an eight year break with seven episodes of the show now available to watch on iPlayer.

Beginning with a protest at William Beswick High School, the first day of the new term was complete chaos - but devastation soon came.

As the protest spiralled out of control in the schoolyard, the kids spilled out onto the street causing traffic chaos.

But as red paint bombs were thrown over cars and pupils, one driver couldn’t see.

She was shocked when another hit her windscreen and she hit the accelerator, shunting her car into the one in front.

That car, driven by teacher Coral Walker, crashed into Chloe Charles - knocking her down and leaving her injured.

Chloe returned to the school after getting her dates mixed up.

With a broken wrist, she managed to pitch her old teacher with an idea for help for kids with ADHD.

She left with the idea to become a teaching assistant and was full of hope for the future - and for the newly named Waterloo Road.

Later at home during dinner Chloe felt dizzy.

She put it down to too much wine - but she began to suffer from a really serious head pain and collapsed on the kitchen floor.

Dante screamed for their daughter to call an ambulance and Chloe was rushed to hospital.

But when Dante and the kids caught up to them, he was given the devastating news that Chloe had died.

He broke down in tears as the kids sobbed in the hospital corridor.

The heartbreaking twist has left viewers incandescent with rage about it all.

One wrote: “Watch the new episode of waterloo road and if they've kill off Chloe and I'm done. 

“I didn't wait 8 years for this to return just for them to kill off one of my all times favourites.

“Nope not watch it I'm going back to pretend they didn't make a new season. 

“Chloe still alive with Donte live happy ever after. F*** you waterloo road #WaterlooRoad.”

A second said: “So in the first episode of the new series @WaterlooRoad decides to kill off Chlo!? Nope not having it as she was one of the best original characters ever!”

Another added: “obviously they had to kill bloody chlo off. only episode of the new season i’m watching. really bloody angry now. #WaterlooRoad”

A fourth raged: “I’m sorry @WaterlooRoad I was excited that you where back but doing the dirty like that and killing Chlo straight away is disgusting in so many levels It just feels like ‘Hey Katie, want to come back and play Chlo but be killed of after one episode’ It’s not right.”
