Overview
- Henry Duggan took over as Bertie in episodes that aired Thursday and Friday, after Rufus Morgan-Smith played the role until early 2026.
- Viewers quickly noticed the switch, with social posts joking that Bertie had “regenerated” and suddenly looked older.
- Producer Kate Brooks told the Mirror that Daniel will unravel, and fans now expect Bertie to appear more as that plot builds.
- Recent scenes showed Daniel struggling with the fallout of a relationship shock, and the strain began to touch his life as a dad.
- Duggan trains at Tina O’Brien’s Drama MOB, a note that fits with soaps’ routine practice of recasting child roles as they age or take on bigger stories.
