Christopher Colquhoun (Image: Miles Yekinni) and Krysstina Frempong (Image: Tom Trevatt) Christopher Colquhoun (Absentia, Fleabag) will make his EastEnders debut later this summer as Darnell Larson Jr, Denise Fox’s half-brother.
The Fox-Truemans are left reeling when Kim makes a shocking discovery, uncovering a half-brother of Denise's that she never knew existed. As the family reach out and come face-to-face with Darnell, they are also introduced to his daughter, Grace, played by Krysstina Frempong (Too Much, Essex Girls).
Their introduction is far from straightforward, and for Darnell, what begins as an unexpected family reunion soon takes on a different significance when he learns of Denise's cancer diagnosis and her ongoing treatment.
