Just in case you've been living under a rock for the past three years, Waterloo Road made a comeback in 2022 and is returning for season 15 later on this year.
With the show's return comes all our favourite characters including bad boy gone good, Donte Charles who is played by Adam Thomas – yep, Love Island: All Stars' Scott Thomas' twin brother.
Donte has come a long way since being a rebellious teenager - nice to see he's still got those dark curls, though - in fact, he even landed a job at the school as a caretaker.
During series 14 he revealed that he wanted to train to become a teacher so we have a feeling when the new season hits Mr. Charles will be a key character at Waterloo Road.

Adam Thomas in Waterloo Road
The BBC's answer to gritty, teenage drama. Think Beverly Hills 90210 set in a suburban Manchester comprehensive.
It was literally THE BEST, and our fave character by far was bad boy Donte Charles, played by Adam.
Donte was a budding entrepreneur and dedicated husband to his young wife Chlo Grainger.
The pair showed us the true meaning of love when that fireball tore through the school leaving Chlo trapped and Donte made it his mission to save his wife no matter what, even though they were actually split up at the time because Chlo has cheated on Donte with Brett.
So beautiful.
Heartbreakingly, Chlo died at the end of series 11 after she was accidentally hit by a car.
Did Donte Charles get arrested?
We DID say he was a a bad boy didn't we? Donte was arrested in season one after him and Chlo crashed a car resulting in the death of his best mate, Adam, who was also in the car, their pal Holly also ended up in a coma.
Is Waterloo Road returning in 2025?
Yes, we don't have start date yet but Adam will, of course, be returning as Dante.
