A source told the publication: ‘Bosses are really keen to solidify the clans in the village and bringing Dodger back and reuniting him with his sisters and dad and very dangerous grandmother is the cherry on top for them.
‘Danny’s really excited to be back filming and back on the show.
‘It’s a really exciting time under Hannah and it was the perfect time to return.’
Channel 4 bosses added that there were big plans for the iconic character and fans of the show should expect some surprising plot twists.
The hunk was last in the village in 2015 where he was forced to cover for his daughter Nico who pushed his brother Will off a rooftop.
In an attempt to protect his daughter, Dodger took the blame, planning to flee with his lover Maxine Minniver.
But at the very last moment he chose to go on the run on his own, leaving Maxine heartbroken.
Danny was at the centre of some of the soap’s most controversial storylines in its history.
