Louis Emerick, star of classic soap Brookside and recent ITV comedy G\u2019wed, is joining the cast of Hollyoaks<\/a>, and is set to play Donny Clark.<\/p>\n

Donny is the estranged father of David Joshua-Anthony\u2019s Andre Clark and Anya Lawrence\u2019s Vicky Grant, who will first be seen making surprise appearance at Vicky\u2019s 18th birthday party and being met with a frosty reception.<\/p>\n

A character description for Donny says: \u201cCharisma personified, Donny is a confident and charming man with an infectious personality and a kind heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always tries to do right for his kids and he comes to the village ready to build a relationship with estranged daughter Vicky.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emerick will first appear as Donny on the episode airing on Tuesday 9th April, 35 years to the day since his first episode on Brookside.<\/p>\n
