Viewers can expect family tensions to rise with the return of Stephen, who is father to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Donna (Jennifer Gareis) and Katie (Heather Tom).
In 2020, Duffyconfirmed to PEOPLEthat he was in “an incredibly happy relationship” with Purl.
“I never thought for a minute this would happen again,” he said. “I never thought I’d feel this way again.”
TheDallasactor was married for more than four decades to late ballet dancer Carlyn Rosser before she died of cancer in 2017.
Duffy and Purl were casual friends years ago, but they lost touch over time. During the pandemic, they both happened to be on a group text chain with other friends, and as the weeks passed, eventually the conversation dwindled down to just the two of them.
At that point, “I loaded up my car and drove 20 hours and ended up on her doorstep just to see if it was real,” Duffy told PEOPLE in 2020. “We haven’t been apart since.”
When it comes tohis connection with Purl, Duffy said he knows his wife would want him to find joy.
“I feel quite honestly, that it is keeping with the desires of my wife, the fact that we are intended to be happy,” he says. “So when it’s offered, think about it, do whatever you do, but don’t let it pass you up if it’s the right thing.”
