EastEnders Icon Makes His Sports Drama Comeback
Besides EastEnders, Danny has been seen in several notable roles, such as Tommy Johnson in The Football Factory. On the 20th anniversary of the sports drama series, he is reprising his role. A few images show Danny holding a metal pole and all ready to get into a battle before being set upon by a group of guys who push him to the ground.
This was a whole violent fighting scene with a gang of men. The 46-year-old is filled with anger and then starts hitting the gangmen himself. A source told The Sun, ‘It’s full steam ahead for Football Factory 2, and filming is due to start in January. The hope is they can turn it around quickly enough so it comes out in 2024 – in time for the 20th anniversary.’ The reports also tell us that Danny is really excited about the project.
Danny’s Stint On The Show
As for his EastEnders stint, the audience did not take Danny’s exit well. The audience loved him, so people were devastated when his character, Mick Carter, died. The actor was on the show for ten years on the iconic show. Long-time viewers know he vanished by the sea without any trace over the festive season 2022.
After Janine Butcher tried to push the couple into the water, he was trying to save his love, Linda Carter. However, Mick was able to save Linda but drowned himself in the sea. Fans were not ready to accept that he had died.
While speaking about his exit from the show last year, he said, ‘The first few years we fing smashed it,’ he said of his earlier storylines. ‘It was powerful s*t. The viewer listened to us more than these fing c politicians.’ However, the storylines were not up to his expectations towards the end, and it’s a shame!
