They wanted to tackle a topical issue as there have been real-life cases of student-teacher relationships. The storyline also hits on some really relatable feelings, such as not being able to help who you fall in love with. Myself and Lucien, who plays Jonah, had separate meetings about it, and afterwards we just gave each other a big hug and said that we'd have fun with it, we were a team now and we'd give it our best shot to tell the story as best we could.

What do you think sparked the initial attraction for Cesca and Jonah? But then I think it was the dog incident in episode 11 which really started to set things in motion.

For Cesca, what's the main attraction of Jonah? He's mature enough to make his feelings very clear and very known to Cesca about what he wants, and that would normally come from an older man with a bit more life experience. This really rattles Cesca - he is only 17 but he seems to be so worldly-wise. Also, if you see them together outside of the school when he's not in uniform, it looks normal - they look like a cute loved-up couple.

And let's not forget that he is of legal age - Jonah is 17 and Cesca is But she has broken the boundaries of student-teacher conduct and trust, and that's not right. So it's a real catch with what I feel about the storyline. Does Cesca love Jonah, or are her feelings not that strong yet? I mean, if it's just a fling, it's not worth the risk for both of them, and especially for Cesca because she could lose her job.

So I think that what scares Cesca is that it's so much more than just a fling and that Jonah could be the one for her. So she's been trying to follow her head and spend time with Tom, because she's hoped that might put things into perspective because he's an older man and not a student.

Cesca is like that - she'd do it over again because she loves Jonah. We've now seen your final scenes, but do you know whether Cesca and Jonah will be mentioned in the next series? They might talk about it at least, but I don't know.

The online spinoff Waterloo Road Reunited has given fans an insight into the lives of characters who have left the main show. Would you ever consider an appearance in that to give the viewers some closure? I know that the fans are desperate to know what happens, so it almost seems natural to do that. Waterloo Road Reunited is there to address what's happened to past characters, so it only seems natural to do it with Cesca and Jonah because everyone wants to know whether she has a boy or a girl, are they okay and what happens next.

Some fans have been suggesting that Cesca and Jonah could have their own spinoff show! I'm very honoured. But I think it could be one of those things where you don't know what happens and that makes it more haunting. But we'll see. Was it an emotional experience to watch the final episode back on Wednesday night? Watching the final episode as it aired was emotional because we finished filming it a year ago and it's only just hit me that it's really all done and dusted now.

Cesca has been laid to rest and it's kind of a weird feeling! I'm so used to seeing her every Wednesday, but now it's like, 'Oh God, it's all done'! How did the reaction to the Cesca and Jonah storyline differ to what you'd expected? I thought that there would be more angst about it, but in fact it's been the complete opposite. Everyone has shown so much love and support for the storyline because they love it for what it is - it makes good television.

Cesca Montoya arrives at Waterloo Road and is instantly liked by other staff members by her excellent Spanish speaking skills and by her students, most likely from her appearance. Year 11 pupil Harry Fisher , son of headmistress Karen Fisher, suspects that his dad, Charlie Fisher is having an affair with Cesca after finding a suspicious message on his dad's phone. Harry and fellow Year 11 pupil Sambuca Kelly go to the location mentioned in the message where they find Cesca and Charlie walking together, Harry takes a picture of this on his phone.

Karen confronts Cesca about the situation after being shown the picture by Harry. Cesca insists that she is not having an affair with Charlie , but instead, Charlie is having an affair with someone else who is close friends with Cesca.

Cesca directs Karen to the woman's apartment. Cesca reluctantly runs a drug self-awareness programme for her Year 11 pupils. Her intentions backfire when Sambuca Kelly asks for money to purchase drugs from her close friends Amy Porter and Lauren Andrews so she can just throw them away afterwards in order to protect them from it. Amy misinterprets this when she sees Sambuca giving Cesca the drugs after purchasing them, Amy then assumes that Sambuca was ratting herself and Lauren out.

When Karen finds out, Cesca struggles to unravel the truth, but just manages to explain it to Karen to satisfactory and just manages to save her job, although Karen still suspends Sambuca when it Amy 's scheme to frame Sambuca for the drugs succeeds, despite Cesca being able to explain Sambuca 's good intentions to Lauren , who also helped Amy frame Sambuca.

When new pupil Kyle Stack unleashes a dangerous dog on Year 13 pupil Bex Fisher during a Spanish lesson, the dog goes beserk and starts attacking Cesca as well, but Cesca is then saved by Year 12 pupil Jonah Kirby , once the dog is locked in the classroom alone, Cesca is seen crying into Jonah 's arms; the dog is then taken away by the police and put down.

Cesca later thanks Jonah for saving her, this episode shows the first hints of Cesca's sexual attraction towards Jonah. Cesca takes the decision that she will begin giving extra Spanish lessons during lunchtime, which only Jonah bothers to attend, and it seems that Jonah wants to come to the supplement classes because he intends to get an A in his Spanish A-level, as he struggles with his accent. Cesca explains that if he "wants to speak fluent Spanish" he just has to "work on it", when it becomes apparent as she walks away, Jonah shows signs of attraction to her.

Cesca later shelves the extra Spanish lessons during lunchtime because just having one pupil showing up is not enough to sustain the programme. At the end of the day she tells Jonah she'll see him tomorrow as lessons will run again. They are later seen texting. Near the beginning of the day, Jonah attempts to kiss Cesca, but Cesca slaps him away.

Jonah insists to Cesca that there is "something going on" between them as Cesca continues to find it increasingly difficult to resist his seductive charm. After head of English Tom Clarkson is brutally beaten by Matthew Gurney, the father of his son's boyfriend, Cesca helps Tom home and calls Jonah at her house to comfort her, the two then share their first kiss before Cesca sends Jonah away, knowing that what she is doing is wrong. Cesca tries to distance herself from Jonah by trying to date Tom , who is now suffering from agoraphobia due to the beating.
