Len Reynolds

Leonard "Len" Reynolds is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Emmerdale, played by Peter Martin.

[1] Anna Brecon, Cleveland Campbell, and Anthony Lewis, three of Martin's former co-stars, reprised their roles as Tara Thornfield, Danny Daggert, and Marc Reynolds, respectively, for Len's funeral.

Following Angie's death, Len's grandson Marc goes to live with his father, and Ollie stays behind with her boyfriend Danny Daggert, who moves in with them.

Problems escalate when Frank's arrival is announced in the Hotten Courrier, and the villagers become irate, turning their frustrations on Len and Pearl.

Devastated at being treated so cruelly by their neighbours, the couple decides to leave Emmerdale for a few weeks and contemplate moving to Cheshire nearer to Sean and Tara.

Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell), Pearl's boss, begins blackmailing her even after she has repaid some of the loans and Len angrily punches him.

Len later learns that Tom is blackmailing Edna over the knowledge that her son Peter Birch (Philip Bird), was really her sister Lily Butterfield's (Anne Charleston) child.

Jo Stiles (Roxanne Pallett), who had become a close friend of Len's through Danny, begs Donna Windsor-Dingle (Verity Rushworth) to continue trying to resuscitate him, but to no avail.

An ambulance arrives to take Len's body away while Pearl contemplates her loss in private, while Sandy comforts Betty Eagleton (Paula Tilbrook) and Edna.
