Hollyoaks confirms Donny’s big career change with nostalgic Brookside connection

Hollyoaks has revealed Donny Clark’s new career after he dramatically resigned from the police force.

Frustrated with corruption in the force and following his traumatic ordeal with Froggy Black, Donny stepped down from his position.

Donny’s true identity was previously revealed to be Mick Johnson, a character in Brookside, who has been in witness protection for 20 years after having an affair with Froggy’s wife.

Froggy resurfaced and began blackmailing Donny, forcing him to destroy evidence of his and Clare Devine’s trafficking ring.

While involved with the gang, Donny revealed he had been a victim of sexual assault following an attack that also involved Dodger Savage after being targeted by Froggy’s son Sully and Griff Farnedge.

In the aftermath, Donny killed Griff and, with the help of Warren Fox, disposed of the body, since bottling up his trauma.

Donny recently reconnected with his hidden past in Brookside after it was revealed he used to own a pizza business and, a few weeks ago, made pizza for a couple of his old friends.

And it seems he could be back flipping dough in the near future after Dillon Ray comes to him with a business proposition.

After receiving a portion of Grace Black’s inheritance from Rex Gallagher, Dillon offers to go into business with Donny to get Mick’s Pizza going again.

But Dillon begins to worry about how Misbah Maalik will react to the news following her and Donny’s recent breakup.

Their relationship had already been strained due to the revelation of his secret past and his obsession with tracking down infamous criminal Blue.

When Misbah found out that Donny had continued to lie to her and had almost slept with a sex worker, she called time on their romance.

So how will she react to her nephew working with her former flame?
