Actress Hannah Daniel has been in Holby City and Keeping Faith
Police are swarming Albert Square on Thursday 1st August following the attack on Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) in EastEnders, and there's a new copper in town eager to nail the culprit - despite having the default grudge against Walford's dodgiest family.
DCI Morgan was on the scene after Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) called 999 having told attacker Stacey Fowler (Lacey Turner) to make herself scarce so he could 'sort it' - then lied to the copper he found his dad unconscious in the Arches pit.
Playing the police officer on the case is Cardiff-born actress Hannah Daniel, who spent two months in Holby City from October to December 2018 as junior doctor Leah Faulkner.
