[edit] About Danny

When Danny and the Daggert family arrived in the village in 2001, it was clear they were really struggling for money.

At the first chance he got, Danny went out to get a job so his mum Cynthia could keep the household afloat. While his family were counting the pennies, Danny was getting friendly with local girl Ollie Reynolds.

When Danny’s family left the village in 2002, he decided to stay and be with Ollie - who’d recently lost her mother. His presence was a great help to Ollie and he coped admirably as she worked hard to finish her A-Levels.

But Ollie announced she wanted to go to university, leaving Danny alone and heartbroken - knowing in his heart that they couldn’t keep the relationship going.

But though Ollie was gone, Danny remained in the bosom of the Reynolds family - by living with her granddad Len Reynolds. Danny’s love life was non-existent for a long while, but he used that time to progress in his career.

His boss Rodney Blackstock, impressed with Danny’s enthusiasm, promoted him and everything was looking rosy for the young lad. But the bond between Rodney and Danny was threatened when Val Lambert arrived in Emmerdale.

The sexy seductress manages to lure both men into bed and the discovery of her antics ends up with them in a fight. However, despite the violence between them, the friends eventually made up - and Rodney was delighted that Val chose him over the young stud.

But Danny wasn’t single for long. Widower Marlon Dingle was desperate to get young Donna Windsor to stop fancying him so begged Danny to take her on a date. The evening was a big success and, after a few teething problems, they get together properly.

But after a few months of dating – and a holiday in Rome – Donna and Danny realized they just weren’t meant to be and split up.

There was no hard feelings and Danny went back to his happy life of working with Rodney and living with Len and Pearl Ladderbanks. He briefly dated newcomer Jo Stiles, but found that her lifestyle was just a bit too wild for him and they remained friends instead.

But it was Jo who helped Danny when he realized there was a woman for him – and that she was right under his nose.

Single mum Dawn Woods was a close pal of Danny’s and there was a spark between them. With her evil ex Scott Windsor in prison, Danny was free to make his move and he did.

For a while they dated happily and it looked like something more serious might come of it.

Unfortunately for Danny, Scott was headed back to Emmerdale and he had no intention of letting Dawn be happy without him. After much stirring, Scott and Danny ended up brawling and Dawn dropped them both.

Danny was back on the singles market but he’s not having too bad a time of it. His cousin Toni arrived in the village in 2005, and with pals with newcomer Jamie Hope – Dawn’s brother – and is enjoying life to the max.

In August 2006 Danny's sister Latisha arrived in the village to visit Danny and offer him a job with the family in Portugal. After analyzing his life in Emmerdale Danny decided it was time to move.

He returned on May 25, 2007 for Len's funeral.
