Adam Thomas’ son Teddy joins Waterloo Road

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Thomas’ son Teddy has joined ‘Waterloo Road’.
The 33-year-old star is to reprise his role as Donte Charles in the returning BBC drama series, and now his seven-year-old boy – who he shares with wife Caroline Thomas – has landed a part as his on-screen son, Tommy Charles.
A source said: “Adam could not be more thrilled to be acting alongside Teddy for the first time.
“Teddy auditioned for the part initially but was beaten to the role by another kid.
“However the boy who did get the part has had to pull out of the show, meaning Teddy got the call up.”
It was recently revealed Adam’s on-screen daughter will be played by his real-life niece, Scarlett Thomas, the daughter of Adam’s brother, former ‘Coronation Street’ star Ryan Thomas, and Ryan’s ex and ‘Corrie’ actress Tina O’Brien.
The source added to The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “It means Adam now has his niece Scarlett and his son Teddy as part of his on screen family.
“He is absolutely ecstatic and he cannot wait to get started.”
A representative for ‘Waterloo Road’ said: “Due to unforeseen circumstances there has been a last minute casting change to the role of Tommy Charles.
“The part will now be played by Teddy Thomas.”
Adam previously spoke about how he felt “blessed” to be returning to ‘Waterloo Road’.
The star made his acting breakthrough as Donte Charles in the series from 2006 to 2009 before making an even bigger name for himself in ‘Emmerdale’, and he is delighted to be returning to the show that kick-started his career.
He said: “I’m so excited to go back to where it all started!
“‘Waterloo Road’ was a huge part of my life and career so to go back 15 years later is a dream come true.
“I feel so blessed to have been given this opportunity to get back to acting and doing what I love!
“I can’t wait to see some old faces and some new. I know this series is going to be the best one yet.”
