Danny Walters, the star of EastEnders, has welcomed a daughter for the first time thanks to his girlfriend Maddi, who is already expecting a girl.
Danny Walters is over the moon as he revealed he has become a dad for the first time. The 31-year-old actor, famed for his role as Keanu Taylor in EastEnders, has taken to Instagram to share the joyous news of his baby girl’s arrival with long-time love Maddi.
Danny posted a sweet picture of his newborn daughter’s hand, saying, “One month with you, Autumn. Born March ‘ 25 (sic)”. Danny’s famous friends, including EastEnders alum Dianne Parish, who plays Denise Fox, have emailed him with congratulations. She said, “Ah wow! Danny, congratulations to you all. (sic)”.
Emma Barton, known to fans as Honey Mitchell from the same BBC soap, also extended her well wishes, writing: “Congrats darling… [heart emojis] (sic)”.
As did Clair Norris, who played Danny’s on-screen sister, Bernadette Taylor. She emailed a number of heart-related emojis to express her happiness.
Danny’s exit from EastEnders was teeming with drama in 2023, with Linda Carter killing off his character Keanu. Danny at the time admitted that keeping his departure a secret was challenging, saying: “It’s been incredibly challenging!
I have used a lot of excuses and have been very deceitful to my friends and family! However, I tried my best to keep everything a secret, and hopefully it paid off, because I wanted the storyline to have the biggest impact on the audience.
However, Danny was thrilled to be at the heart of the EastEnders Christmas special. When quizzed about his emotions upon reading his final EastEnders script, Danny responded: “The Christmas Day episode is a great episode.
There is a lot to it, it stands alone. Every character had a fantastic storyline throughout the entire episode, and the writing in the script was fantastic.
The episode is a real rollercoaster of emotions, he continued, “for my character, from the highs to the lows.” It was such a pleasure to participate in.
His character’s exit story rumbled on for months – even without the star. In March last year Keanu Taylor’s body was found by residents as a corpse was found in the café.
As Keanu began strangling her, viewers were aware that Linda, who was trying to protect Sharon Watts, had knifed her to death on Christmas Day. The Six then fabricated the crime and their roles in it, including Sharon, Linda, Suki Panesar, Stacey Slater, Kathy Beale, and Denise Fox.
However, Keanu’s true identity was revealed after a body was discovered at the café when the floor caved in and the group lied to the police about where he was.
