Adam Thomas fans say 'there's no way' as he's reunited with 'favourite' Waterloo Road co-star

Adam Thomas has left Waterloo Road fans in a spin as he reunited with one of his former co-stars. The actor has recently been filming new episodes of the BBC One school drama following its reboot last year.

Manchester-born Adam, 35, has reprised the role of former bad boy pupil-turned-doting dad Donte Charles in the series alongside his real-life son and niece - Teddy and Scarlett Thomas - playing his on-screen children.

But there was tragedy in the opening episode of its comeback when Donte's wife Chlo Charles, played by Katie Griffiths, tragically died leaving Donte a widow and a single dad. Things have improved for Donte with him getting a job at his children's school and has more recently struck up a romance with school cook Nicky Walters, played by Kym Marsh.

But back to Adam's reunion and the former Emmerdale star took to Instagram on Saturday (May 11) with a beaming selfie of himself and actor Jason Done who fans of Waterloo Road will remember for playing beloved teacher Tom Clarkson, who was also Chlo's guardian following the death of Izzie Redpath.

In series 8, after going up to the roof, he noticed Kyle Stack was about to jump. Tom talked to Kyle about a new start at the school and eventually convinced him to come down. The roof was slippery and when Tom grabbed Kyle's hand, Kyle slipped forward and knocked Tom off the roof by accident. Tom fell off the roof, resulting in his tragic death surrounded by staff and pupils of Waterloo Road.

But the death of the character hasn't stopped Adam hoping for Jason to return as his co-star. Alongside the photo of the pair out in the recent sunshine, the dad-of-two said: "Forget the northern lights … what about these northern stars !! Hahahaha.

"Who would love to see him back at @waterlooroad ? Or is he coming back ?? You will just have to wait and see… Love this guy too much was always and still is, one of the few I look up to in this business… the kindest man you will meet!"

It was then that Adam added: "Everyone always asks who was my favourite character in Waterloo Road! Well it’s Tom Clarkson! What a guy love ya @done_jason." And it didn't take long for the comments to come flooding in.

@alwayss_waterlooroad said: "There is NO WAY they’ll bring Tom back from the dead. Would love to see it tho." @charliespetch commented: "Tom is gonna be the Cindy Beale of Waterloo Road and return from the dead I am begging." @tracy.coe.583 wrote: "Loved him in Waterloo road but he died, is he doing a dirty den and coming back from the dead!"

@lauraclare96 replied: "Nah if he comes back I think I would cry, my little heart those years ago when Tom came off that roof." @hrps.c00 gushed: "Donte and Tom reunited best 2 actors from Waterloo Road." @littlebabylove__ added: "I swear if he comes back to WR- I think I’d cry with joy! Tom was one of my favourite characters in WR and I was devastated when he left!"
