Character history
Danny Valentine is the illegitimate child of Leo Valentine who first arrived in the village in September 2007, when his mother Vivien drops him and his sister Lauren, off at the Valentine residence and demanded that Leo looks after them while she takes up a free holiday in Greece. Danny & Lauren were totally unknown to Calvin & Sasha, and it wasn't until he referred to Leo as dad that they realised that Leo had been living a double life.
Much more then his sister, Danny adapted to his new family, becoming very friendly with Calvin & actually forging a better relationship with him than Calvin had with his younger brother Sonny. When Vivien decided to stay in Greece, the two planned to join her. However when she said she would like to stay, he decided to stay in Hollyoaks, saying he was happier there. He showed interest in Mercedes when he attended Sarah and Craig's engagement party.
Danny has befriended Justin and initially tried to get him to forget about Katy by going out and trying to find women. However, he soon realised Justin was only interested in winning Katy's affections back and tried giving him support by dressing up as a policeman to lead her to a table set out for a romantic dinner with Justin seated at it.
