Celine Dixon

Celine Dixon, portrayed by Zeriozha Burt-Skeete, was a pupil at Waterloo Road, who befriended then dated Donte Charles and fell in a feud with Donte's then ex-wife, Chlo Grainger, making it a love triangle. Her first appearance was on Series 2 Episode 2 and her last on Series 3 Episode 20.

In Series 2, Celine first appeared as a friend of Leigh-Ann Galloway. They both decided to attack then pupil, Mika grainger, although deep down, Celine did not want to attack Mika. She took a break from school after she was raped by Maxine's stepfather, Kevin Hurst.

In Series 3, Celine gave support to Donte Charles, who was going through a difficult time with his wife, Chlo, as she was sleeping with her sister Mika's boyfriend, Brett Aspinall. Celine and Donte then developed feelings for each other and started dating, but over time, Celine realized that Donte was still in love with Chlo. She became jealous and kept trying to split them up. Nevertheless, in the Series 3 finale, Chlo gets trapped in the girls' toilets in a school fire. When Donte goes in to save Chlo, Celine tries to stop him from doing this by telling him she is carrying his baby; however, Donte did not believe her. The episode ends with Chlo and Donte reconciling after the fire and Celine crying on the grass.

Maxine Barlow

Maxine first appeared following Steph Haydock asking for money, she was a previous student at Waterloo Road before, who left home because of her relationship with her step dad. Maxine's relationships first began with Lewis Seddon, the school's first biggest old bad man from the very beginning. She had a child with him, but she died because of her drug abuse and lack of care and support during pregnancy. Later, she became very close with new character Earl Kelly. He wasn't very different from Seddon as a character, although Seddon ended up being a good civilian in the end before his character was axed off along with many other gooden's.

Earl Kelly sadly shot Maxine and killed her in the mad attempt of trying to get her to stay with him, despite her finding out about him and another woman he has a baby with. The producers even made it much more sinister for her to find out he was willing to give the other woman money, sell his child, and pretend he never met her.

Maxine's close friends were Chlo Grainger and Janeece Bryant. Both Janeece and Steph turned up in Maxine's final moments, with her unmissable one-liner to Steph, apologising for not being a very good 'daughter' for her.

Stacey Appleyard

Stacey Appleyard first appeared showing her geeky obsession with Tom Clarkson, Chlo's and Mika's soon to be step-dad. She blares out to Janeece that Clarkson and her were in bed together the night before she stayed over Chlo Grainger's to work on turning her poem into a song for him. The teachers and students eventually found out, as you would thanks to rumors. Because of this accusation,Tom threatens to walk out of his job.

Stacey returns to school after being suspended for the accusation of Tom. Despite this not being true, Tom fatally loses his unborn baby with Mika and Chlo's mum. She tries to fix Kim and her dad, sending texts and gifts to Kim, getting the two of them to meet up for a date. Turns out they both work out, and it was Stacey who set them together.

With outstanding 5 episodes, she proved to be a very good addition to the show, and is also just as memorable as everybody else.
