A Nuptial Steeped in Secrets

As the couple prepares to walk down the aisle, lurking secrets threaten to surface  notably, the ghostly specter of Nate Robinson’s death, a dark twist that complicates the wedding plans. It’s been hinted that viewers will learn more about the tragic event as the lake, where Nate’s body lies hidden, is scheduled for dredging just as the ceremony is set to commence.

In his conversation with Loose Women host Ruth Langsford, Miller noted, "It’s a typical soap wedding. We always like to put in surprises here and there." He elaborated that the wedding scenes were shot in a unique format, allowing for a blend of imagination and reality, which is something fans have not typically experienced in previous weddings on the show.
A Unique Perspective on Fatherhood
Miller’s life off-screen is just as rich with storytelling. Recently, during his appearance, he shared the joyful news that he and his partner, Steph, are expecting their third child. “We had a day where we thought we were never going to have a baby and now we’ve got three," he shared, expressing his gratitude for Steph, whom he refers to as "the most amazing wife."

Reflecting on his children’s reactions to his role, Danny mentioned a recent experience at a supermarket where his kids spotted their dad’s face on various magazines due to the wedding storyline. “It was really surreal," he remarked. However, he remains cautious about how much his children see of his life on Emmerdale. He explained, “I tend not to let them watch Emmerdale. It’s on too late; they should be in bed.†More importantly, he pointed out the potential confusion for them when they see him in romantic scenes with another man, as his character often engages in physical confrontations that he doesn’t want them to imitate.
