Hywel
Bennett is to join the cast of EastEnders in May to play Jack Dalton,
a revered gangland boss who presides over London's East End.
Dalton,
who will be central to a key storyline throughout the summer, is
the real deal, a legendary face of the underworld who is both feared
and respected.
Hywel
says of his new role: "I've attempted almost everything in
my marathon career, but have never tackled a soap before. I consider
EastEnders to be the best there is and regard it as another notch
on the bedpost."
