Waterloo Road: Lauren Faulkner in the role of Hannah King<\/h3>\n

Former\u00a0Waterloo Road\u00a0favourite Philip Martin Brown starred as\u00a0grumpy teacher Grantly Budgen from 2006 to 2013.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk about a new role he’s taken in the feel-good festive film, Christmas at The Holly Day Inn, Philip also reflected on his time on the BBC drama.<\/p>\n

Early this year, the popular series was revived after an eight-year hiatus, and fans of the show couldn’t wait to find out what the students and teachers had been up to off-screen.<\/p>\n

The very first episode sparked a huge reaction from long-term fans as it opened with a huge tragedy which led to an outcry from fans.<\/p>\n

Talking about the new series and what he thought about it, Philip admitted: “I saw the first couple of episodes and thought it was bang up-to-date, I think its great strength was that it moved with the times.”<\/p>\n

The opening of the new series back in January saw former childhood sweethearts Donte Charles (played by Adam Thomas) and Chloe Charles (Katie Griffiths) getting their eldest child ready for her first day at school.<\/p>\n

Fans recalled how the duo first made their appearance in the hit school drama back in 2006 and made the decision to get married when they were only 16 years old.<\/p>\n

Still married with two children, one of whom was born in the school toilets, the reboot showed them now as an adult couple navigating their lives.<\/p>\n

While taking Izzy (Scarlett Thomas) to her new school, Chlo found herself being the victim of a minor car accident.<\/p>\n
