Ex-Brookside star Paul "Barry Grant" Usher joins EastEnders
His character Danny Hardcastle will clash with Phil Mitchell...
It's going to be the ultimate clash of the soap bad boys when ex-Brookside star Paul Usher joins the cast of EastEnders as a dodgy tough guy who has some unfinished business with Phil Mitchell (played by Steve McFadden).
Paul, who played baddie businessman Barry Grant in Channel 4 soap Brookside for over a decade, will play the role of seemingly charming Danny Hardcastle who arrives in Albert Square this spring looking for Phil.
But who is dodgy Danny? Could he be connected to Phil's ongoing shady dealings in Spain? All will be revealed...
