Did you catch the latest episode of Call The Midwife? If you did, you must have noticed the talented actor, Daniel Laurie, who plays the beloved character Reggie Jackson. But did you know that Daniel has a special connection to an EastEnders legend? That's right, his father is none other than Leslie Grantham, who famously portrayed the iconic Den Watts in the beloved soap.
It's quite an impressive connection, isn't it? Daniel first appeared on our screens as Reggie back in 2017, and we have been captivated by his performance ever since. After the death of his mother, Reggie moved to Poplar to live with his uncle Fred Buckle. And it's no surprise that Daniel inherited his acting skills from his father, who is considered soap royalty for his portrayal of Dirty Den in EastEnders.
Den and his wife Angie were the original landlords of The Queen Vic, running the iconic pub since the soap's debut in 1985. But Den's character was "killed off" in 1989, only to make a shocking return in 2003. Leslie's second stint on the show ended in 2005 when his character was killed off for real this time by his latest wife Chrissie. Sadly, Leslie passed away in 2018 at the age of 71, leaving behind a legacy in the soap world.
But enough about EastEnders, let's get back to Call The Midwife. In the latest Christmas special, Daniel's character Reggie went missing, causing panic and worry among his loved ones. But in part two, we were relieved to see Reggie's safe return to Poplar, thanks to the community's efforts in finding him.
