Road*<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/waterloo-road-2022-return-date\/&quot;\">Waterloo Road<\/a> returned to our screens on Tuesday night (3rd January 2023) and featured the heartbreaking death of a legacy character.<\/p>\n<p>The conclusion of the instalment saw viewers wave a permanent goodbye to Chlo Charles (Katie Griffiths) after she experienced a brain haemorrhage after a night at home with her husband Donte (Adam Thomas) and their children.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the original run of Waterloo Road will remember the love story of pupils Donte and Chlo, the latter of whom was the daughter of art teacher Izzie Redpath (Jill Halfpenny).<\/p>\n<p>The pair married young and even had a baby as teens but their love endured multiple hardships, including the murder of Chlo\u2019s mother and infidelities.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the revival\u2019s premiere episode, Chlo had walked her daughter Izzy Charles (Scarlett Thomas) to her first day at school at William Beswick school.<\/p> <p>During the walk, Chlo was struck by a car after teacher Coral Walker (Rachel Leskovac) accidentally collided her car into the one in front of her which then saw Chlo hit her head.<\/p>\n<p>Chlo proceeded to experience no symptoms to suggest she was harmed beyond an injured arm and refused further medical attention after being seen by the school nurse,who wrapped up a sprained wrist.<\/p>\n<p>The character then visited headteacher Kim Campbell (Angela Griffin) who has been a teacher to Chlo during her time at Waterloo Road.<\/p>\n<div
