Leonard Fenton has lead a distinguished acting career, with work on TV, radio and the stage. His credits read like a list of classic British TV drama, including turns in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Z-Cars, Rumpole Of The Bailey and The Bill. However, despite all of this, Fenton will forever in our hearts be known for only one role... Dr Harold Legg in EastEnders.
One of the original 23 characters in Albert Square, Dr Legg was a throwback to the traditionally-trusted East End GP. Usually his toughest day at work would consist of dealing with Dot Cotton's hypochondria or a run-in with Ethel's Willie. Occasionally, he was given a serious storyline (failing to spot Vicki Fowler's meningitis, his battles with nephew David), but more often than not, he merely functioned as a friendly neighbour who brought comfort and reassurance to the Square as well as the viewers at home. Numerous 'hunky' docs have been hired to replace Legg since, but as proven by his returning show stints in 2000, 2004 and 2007, you can't keep a great man down!
