Glenn Donovan

Hollyoaks has finally revealed the identity of Darcy Wilde's mystery man.

Show bosses recently brought in former Emmerdale and Charmed star Neil Roberts as a menacing figure who gave Darcy a warning when they met up at the Duke Street Social bar.

Hollyoaks' brand new autumn trailer has revealed that the guy in question is Glenn Donovan – the father of Jesse and Adam.

Glenn was previously married to troubled Tracey Donovan, believing that he could help to fix her problems, but a lustful affair led to the breakdown of their marriage.

During their time together, Glenn and Tracey became parents to Adam, Liam and Jesse, but Glenn shut out Grace Black and Clare Devine as they weren't his own.

Speaking about his exciting new role, Neil enthused: "I am thrilled to be part of the cast of Hollyoaks, not only because it's such an established show, but also because my own children are huge fans.

"There is a great mix of professionalism but with a lot of fun here at Hollyoaks, and I have thoroughly enjoyed coming in as part of the Donovan family.

"Finally I can tweet who I actually am and tell my family!"

When we last saw Glenn, it was obvious that there was no love lost between him and Darcy, so will he want to get rid of her for good? Could he know Darcy's secrets?

Glenn will reappear in the village in early October.

was his affair with darcy?

Does Darcy know who he is?

Meanwhile, these new Hollyoaks pictures show the moment that Jesse and Adam Donovan's menacing father Glenn reappears.

Glenn (Neil Roberts) made his debut on the show last month as Darcy Wilde's mystery man, but viewers were unaware of his identity at the time.

Glenn will be returning in the aftermath of Tracey Donovan's recent death, which has left Jesse (Luke Jerdy) and Adam (Jimmy Essex) devastated.

He turns up on the day of Tracey's funeral and is quick to confront Darcy (Aisling Jarrett-Gavin) – already aware that she was to blame for killing Tracey.

The tension is interrupted when Jesse and Adam arrive and see their dad, but will Glenn expose Darcy's killer secret?

naughty grace cheating with him

Hollyoaks bosses have recast the role of Glenn Donovan, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.

Former Emmerdale actor Neil Roberts has bowed out from the part and viewers will see a new-look Glenn introduced early next month.

Actor Bob Cryer (pictured below) has taken over as Glenn and has already been filming on the Hollyoaks set in Liverpool in recent weeks.

It's thought that the recast has taken place as new story ideas for Glenn didn't fit with Neil's existing commitments.

A Hollyoaks source told Digital Spy: "Storylines for Glenn have now expanded beyond what was originally planned, which has led to the role being recast."

Glenn was first introduced to Hollyoaks in August, when he made a brief appearance as Darcy Wilde's "mystery man".

Show bosses later confirmed him as the father of Adam and Jesse Donovan and he's been appearing more regularly on the show since October.

Digital Spy understands that viewers have already seen Neil's final scenes as Glenn, but there'll be much more to come from the character when Bob takes over.

Viewers already know that Glenn is the father of Darcy's son Toby and the ex-lover of Grace Black.

Glenn also knows Darcy's dark secret over Tracey's death, so there's plenty to keep him busy on screen over the next few weeks and months.
