Viewers know Dan punched daughter Amelia’s stalker Lloyd and unwittingly caused his death.
Now soap star Liam has opened up about his character’s “last few days in the village” and how sad they are.
The actor told The Sun and other press: “When I read the scripts, it was like: ‘Wow, this is awesome.’
“He’s kind of taking it all in and realising that he’s going and getting support from other people in the village. There’s some lovely stuff.
“Before he goes, he goes into the Woolpack and Man Club are there and really supporting him.
“It’s really well written, really nice stuff. It made me cry a few times reading it, so yeah, very emotional, lovely stuff. I feel very lucky to get that sort of script around the story.”
But with Dan having changed his mind about fleeing to Ireland, he faces a lengthy prison sentence.
He added: “He’s scared about how long he’s going to get. I think he’s presuming he’s going to get three years or something like that.
“He’s got it in his head, you know, after 18 months he might be out and everything. But even so, can he cope with 18 months? Is that something Dan can get his head around?
“Whatever Dan does, when he comes out, if he comes out, he’s going to be a different man. Somebody like Dan will not benefit from prison.”
Liam also opened up on it being a sad ending for Dan after 12 years in the village.

He said: ‘He lost it. I don’t know how much he feels like he should be punished but he just seems wracked with guilt more than anything else.
“Obviously anyone would hope for the lightest sentence but it’s just pure guilt, really, and he doesn’t know where to turn.
“It’s really sad.”
