Not only did Adam's actual son, Teddy, join the cast as his on-screen son, the former Emmerdale star's niece, Scarlett Thomas, who is the daughter of older brother Ryan and his Coronation Street star ex Tina O'Brien, is also playing his on-screen daughter.
During the first episode of the show's return back in January 2023, viewers were heartbroken when Donte's wife, Chlo, died following a incident with a car. It later resulted in emotional scenes for Adam, Teddy and Scarlett's characters as they were forced to come to terms with the loss of their wife and mum.
Taking to Instagram before the latest series of Waterloo Road began on Tuesday night (January 2), Adam shared a video of one of those emotional moments which saw Teddy's character Tommy, being helped to get ready by older sister Izzy, played by Scarlett, for their mum's funeral.
