Unfortunately at the time Liv was accused of committing the crime which landed her in jail but she is finally free after the truth came out about evil Meena who was the real killer.
Once Danny left the soap he had plenty to keep him busy as he went on to appear on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here!
The star won over the viewers as he went all the way and became King of the Jungle.
Now co-star Isobel Steele believes Danny Miller's decision to leave the soap was "the right thing for him".
While speaking to Digital Spy she said: "I have spoken to him. I do miss him a lot here. At one point, him leaving would have been the scariest thing ever.
“He was the person I relied on solely, he was the person I filmed with the most and I was very much intertwined with him and our lives were as well.
"Over the past couple of years, I've started to branch out and film with other characters and he's not felt as integral to me. Honestly, I would have felt so stressed if he'd left two or three years ago. But I think it's the right thing for him."

The soap star went on to add: "I miss him but I think Brad who plays Vinny Dingle has nicely taken his spot as the person that's there for me and my go-to and someone I enjoy filming with a lot.
"I miss him but that's the right thing for him – and stories have to move on and evolve to get better."
Just last month, Danny announced his latest project with the launch of YouTube series We Are the Millers, which documents his life with fiancée Steph Jones, baby son Albert, plus their two dogs Gini and Kenny.
