Says she will be speaking in her native Scottish accent and has been chosen by the big man to be one of the English teachers which after Linda seems a bit odd lol. I reckon Grantly might not make the move so she will be covering his post

Will be strange hearing her with her Scottish accent, the school is never short of english teachers seems nearly all the staff we know are english teachers, hope it doesn't mean the end of Nicci (Heather Peace) whose character I'm liking.

Sounds a great move for Laurie, it sounds a great idea. I will really look forward to seeing Laurie in WR.

Always interesting seeing people from soaps in dramas as it's normally the othe way round. Bering from Scotland myself I hope all the teachers aren't Scottish as I couldn't stand the last Scottish teachers accent and she was from Glasgow. I also hope the move doesn't wipe the staff as I am starting to like Nikki and Tom/Grantly can never leave lol.
