Bradley Walsh - aka Danny Baldwin

Danny Baldwin arrived in Coronation Street as Mike Baldwin's long-lost nephew. It was later revealed that he was in fact Mike's son (er, isn't that what happened to Corrie's Ashley Peacock too?). He was married to Frankie and had two sons, Jamie and Warren. A compulsive ladies' man, Danny could not resist the lure of Leanne Battersby, despite her being the Jamie's fiancée. This resulted in the end of his marriage and the loss of Jamie's love. When Danny's father died, he inherited the Underworld factory, a posh flat and a house in Spain. However a more recent will was discovered, disinheriting him and he tried to cover this up. Danny tried to get back with Frankie, but he failed and an estranged Leanne revealed the secret of the will. Meanwhile, in a neat plot twist, Jamie fell in love with Frankie (not technically incest as Frankie was his step-mother, but it was still rather distasteful as she had brought him up since he was a very young child). A furious Danny tried to kill Jamie in the canal, but eventually disappeared into the night leaving everyone wondering where he had gone.
