Waterloo Road star Jack McMullen has spoken about a potential return for the show, saying that he doesn't think the time is right for a comeback.
The BBC school-based drama ran for nine years between 2006 and 2015 and had a huge fanbase, but McMullen, who played bad boy Finn Sharkey, has told Metro that he wouldn't go back to the show if it returned.
"I spent a while on that job and it was a wonderful part of my life. But I feel like that chapter is done now to be honest," he said.

"But there is space for that show or something similar to come back onto our screens.

"There isn't anything similar on now really – there's Sex Education or Derry Girls but they're in a slightly different format. There is room for it to come back and never say never. But at the moment, I feel like I'd like to keep that as a happy memory."
The actor is now playing insecure footballer Jack in new comedy The First Team, created by the team behind The Inbetweeners Iain Morris and Damon Beesley.
Speaking about his character, he said: "He's kind of completely incompetent and relies on the people around him, who aren't always the most reliable. I like him, I think he can be endearing in his incompetence."
Waterloo Road is now available in its entirety on BBC iPlayer and with ten series available, that's a lot of binge watching at our disposal – and with everyone from Doctor Who's Jenna Coleman to Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien starring in it, it's pretty much a who's who of British acting stars, too.
The First Team kicks off on Thursday (May 28) at 9.30pm on BBC Two.
