An Emmerdale icon is getting ready to go back to school by joining the cast of Waterloo Road. And there will be a soapy match made on screen as he's being paired up with a fellow soap favourite.
The casting news was uncovered by a fan account on social media - which declared alongside an image of the star: "Former #Emmerdale actor Karl Davies is set to join #WaterlooRoad as Tony Walters. He will appear in the next series."
Many fans took to the comments section to share their excitement about the apparent casting, with one writing: "When is the new series?
I can't b****y wait!!!!" And another gasped: "Oooh, the second Robert Sugden."
The Mirror has contacted the BBC for comment. Meanwhile, fans of Waterloo Road can expect to return to the halls of the fictional comprehensive school for two more years at least.
The show first aired from 2006 until 2015, but was revived in 2023. And last month, the BBC revealed it had been recommissioned for at least two more seasons.
Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama, said: ⁘I'm delighted that Waterloo Road will be opening its corridors once again, with two more series of the hit drama about to start filming.
And Cameron Roach, Waterloo Road executive producer, said: 'When the BBC commissioned the reboot of Waterloo Road, we had hoped it might run for a few seasons.
⁘But to be commissioned for further series, bringing the total episodes since relaunch to 70 hours, is a huge achievement and a reflection of the incredible creative teams in front of and behind the camera. As well as continuing to celebrate emerging talent, the show is fast gaining a reputation for working with the best comedy talent, as Jon Richardson joins the cast this season.⁘
