In 1997, Gleeson began portraying the role of Conor Flaherty in the BBC soap opera EastEnders.
He stayed in the role until 1999, and in 2003, he joined the cast of the BBC soap opera Doctors as Ronnie Woodson.
[2] While on Doctors, he began a relationship with co-star Stirling Gallacher, who portrayed the role of George Woodson, his on-screen wife.
After making the decision to stop portraying the role of Ronnie in 2009, he continued to direct episodes of Doctors until 2013.
I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in and working with the crews, cast and whole Holby family on consolidating and reinvigorating this firm favourite for an even wider audience.
