Name: Leo King
First Appeared: 3rd September 2019
Last Appeared: 21st February 2020
Played by: Tom Wells

From the moment he set foot in Walford, it was clear that Leo King was on a mission – and not the good kind. With his intense gaze and mysterious aura, he quickly became the talk of the town, especially when he started showing an unhealthy interest in Whitney Dean.

Leo’s story was a tragic one from the start. As the son of Tony King, a man with a dark past, Leo was determined to clear his father’s name. He believed that Whitney had lied about Tony’s abuse, and he was ready to go to any lengths to prove it. This obsession led him down a dark path, and his actions became increasingly erratic.

Leo’s twisted obsessions with Whitney got gradually worse, with him secreting himself in the attic, spying on her room from above. When he finally emerged to pounce, in a struggle for survival, Whitney ended up stabbing Leo in self-defence, bringing his reign of terror to a bloody end.
