I just heard Metallica

They were his stepdaughters..Tom was with their Mother and she was stabbed in the playground and died...

Mica and Clo are sisters. Their mother taught at Waterloo Road and started an affair with teacher Tom who was at the time married to another teacher at the school. Tom split with his wife and shacked up with Clo and Mica's Mum and they all lived in the same house. Tom's wife committed suicide after she found she had a terminal disease. A few episodes later Clo and Mica's Mum was stabbed in the school playground after disturbing an attack on the headmaster. Simple isn't it!! A bit far fetched really, but very easy watching.

Just read the answer below - Tom and Izzy were not actually married - they began an affair whilst working together at the school. After Izzy's death (stabbed in the playground) Tom continued living at the house and looking after the two girls as though he was their stepfather - but technically he is not.

if it's the song i think your talking about, it's Nickelback - Savin' Me.

Oh and erm... Tom was married to Mica and Clo's mum, Izzy. But Izzy got stabbed by an ex-pupils dad for trying to help the head teacher and died in the first series. Well, Tom's and Izzy's relationship was kind of on and off thing, but before she died it was pretty much off. That's mainly because Tom was getting close with another teacher at Waterloo Road, Izzy had just lost a baby and Tom also had a student admirer who tried to get in bed with him. I guess the stress levels just kind of built up from there!

Hope this helps!

It sounds a bit like Nickelback - Rockstar but i have only just switched on and im sure that was the song that was playin at the time.. I could almost say it is Nickelback but the song may b one of their other songs.
