His departure was certainly emotional for Lorraine, who played his mother Karen on the soap.

“I really miss Danny Walters, as we had the best laughs on set,” the actress told Inside Soap.

“We would be really silly, rude and naughty! We’ll stay in touch and I wish him really well – it was a loss for us Taylors. We’re all gutted he’s gone. We want him to do well, but we want him to come back.

“The door is left open, and Keanu has a son on the Square, so you never know. We’ll miss him and he’ll do well – gorgeous boy!”
