Who plays Danny in Ralph & Katie?

Dylan Brady plays Danny in Ralph & Katie.

Danny is the new support worker for the newlyweds as they begin living independently for the first time.

Ralph hired Danny and gets along with him more than he has any other support worker…

But mum Louise (Pooky Quesnel) doesn’t trust him.

She knows things from his past and doesn’t want Danny anywhere near Ralph and Katie.

So, will Danny overcome his past and get to help Ralph and Katie?

Or will his past mean he can’t move forward?
