This is like a month old, but no one else has posted it and it's not really been that advertised or anything so incase anyone didn't know...

The BBC has commissioned a new online Waterloo Road spinoff.

Waterloo Road Reunited will focus on former characters from the drama, including Bolton, Michaela, Janeece, Philip, Aleesha and Paul.

The project is expected to include a mixture of episodes, fictional social media networks, fan sites and audio.

BBC Drama's multiplatform commissioning executive Sarah Clay said: "Unlike most dramas, Waterloo Road is unique in that every year popular characters have to leave the show because they leave school.

"This leaves Waterloo Road's massive online fanbase with a natural thirst to find out what happened to the likes of Bolton and Michaela. We wanted to give fans a chance to follow their lives online. The video will focus on events that bring the ex-pupils together, but the story extends beyond video, allowing the audience to follow their lives as if they were friends with them on Facebook."

This isn't the first time the BBC have created an online drama based on one of their already popular shows, back in January 2010 they launched EastEnders: E20 to the web.

Waterloo Road Reunited is scheduled to launch in Spring 2011.
Waterloo Road's Sixth Series, currently on a break, is expected to return to the BBC in January, with Series 7 starting later this year.

It sounds interesting.

I loved Bolton. The guy was epic, Paul was a knob.
Michaela was an OTT prat, Daniella and Aleesha were too horny bitches who got boring very fast, We already know what bloody Janeece did... she got pregnant and came back to Waterloo Road, why on earth she's featured is unreal.

So I'm really just watching to see what Bolton gets up to, It's a shame they didn't include the likes of Mika, Chlo and Donte.

Those 3 were really favourites amongst the Waterloo Road Fans, and I'd much rather know what Chlo and Donte got up to than ******ing Paul and Aleesha.

I quite liked Marley and Flick from Series 4 too and they've also left them out.

But anyway, Who's excited for it?
