Waterloo Road just aired a jaw-dropping episode that left viewers reeling with shock. The sudden death of Brian 'Boz' Osbourne in the fifth episode of the fourteenth series was not only unexpected for the audience, but also for actor Nathan Wood who plays Boz. It was a heart-wrenching moment as Billy Savage, the main character, finally stood up to his bullies and fought back against their torment.
Boz and Schuey Weaver had been relentlessly bullying Billy for weeks, pushing him to the brink of desperation. In a moment of intense rage, Billy took matters into his own hands and set a trap for Schuey on the tow path. However, the tables turned when Boz appeared instead, and the impact of his bike hitting a chord that Billy had tied across the path sent him flying over the handlebars, resulting in his tragic death.
Terrified and consumed by guilt, Billy turned to his father and headteacher, Steve Savage, for help. In a moment of panic, they decided to cover up the accidental killing in the hopes that everything would go back to normal. But for Billy, nothing will ever be the same again. Actor Olly Rhodes, who plays Billy, shared, "He's completely lost. He doesn't understand why they made the decision to cover it up. He starts to realize that perhaps it would have been better to go to the police, but he trusts his dad and feels like he has no other choice but to go along with it."
The shocking death of Boz left viewers in disbelief, but it also had a profound effect on Nathan Wood, who had no idea his character would meet such an untimely end. "I didn't know at first!" Nathan revealed. "I remember we were all sitting in the green room and I walked in. Jason Manford and Olly Rhodes knew the storyline, but I didn't. I was like, 'I only have a few episodes, I hope they give me more.' And they were just sitting there like, 'Yeah, sure, good luck with that.'"
As the storyline unfolds, we see Billy struggle to cope with the weight of his actions and the pressure of keeping the truth hidden. But will he and his father get away with their cover-up? "Steve is convinced that they have covered all their tracks," shared Jason Manford, who plays Steve. "He's a clever man and he believes he's outsmarted the police. But as we all know from watching crime shows, that's usually the first mistake the perpetrator makes."
With the fate of the characters hanging in the balance, viewers are eagerly waiting to see how the story unfolds.
