Although he’s bound to bring a whole lot of heartbreak and pain with him, too.

After all, the man was sent to jail for STABBING Karen.

Danny explained: “There’s a lot still to discover about the Taylor family. Keanu’s dad is definitely one of them. Keanu doesn’t know much about his dad.

“He’s had to sort of grow up and fend for himself really, and be the man of the house. So we will obviously, hopefully, at some point get to discover who the dad is.”

In March, we saw mum Karen break down as she relived her previous relationship with Keanu’s dad, revealing he was a violent man.

 Stanley, who plays Karen, recently told Digital Spy: “I think it’d be interesting to learn more about Keanu’s dad, because we’ve had the reveal that he stabbed Karen and went to prison for attempted murder.

“So if he appeared, there would be some really gritty stuff to play out. I think there’s a history of domestic violence, so that’d be interesting to see.”
