Hollyoaks' Misbah Maalik's relationship with Donny Clark is in crisis next week, as the fallout from revelations about her partner's past continues. Following the devastating drama of Clare Devine's wicked plan and Donny's attempt to expose a dangerous criminal gang, the detective has some explaining to do.
"Donny has been involved in the darker, seedier side of life since trying to catch this gang," says Louis Emerick, who plays Donny. "He's an honourable guy, but has been stretched and pulled and had to make some tough decisions, which have had a big impact on Misbah and his family."
A series of dramatic events lead distressed Donny to Brookside Close in this week’s explosive anniversary episodes. In the much-anticipated Brookside crossover, fans will discover some shocking secrets about his past that will literally change everything.
Back in the village next week, Misbah is reunited with a battered and bruised Donny, fresh from his mysterious adventures in Liverpool, and he is forced into more confessions.
