Daniel Laurie is back as Reggie Jackson in the upcoming festive specials of Call the Midwife. The beloved BBC period drama will see the return of the popular character, who was introduced in 2017. Laurie's journey on the show has included heartwarming moments and challenges, especially after the tragic loss of his mother.
Call the Midwife Daniel Laurie will be stepping back into his role as Reggie Jackson as the much-loved BBC period drama is gearing up to return with two festive specials , followed by the 14th series in the new year. Reggie first appeared on our screens in Poplar during the sixth series in 2017. Fans will remember his mother tragically died from a heart attack while visiting a church, leaving Reggie waiting for her at home in scenes that pulled at our heartstrings.
The caring nuns and nurses of Nonnatus House quickly stepped in to look after Reggie until his distant cousin Fred Buckle (played by Cliff Parisi) took him under his wing. Violet Buckle (played by Annabelle Apsion) and Fred now regard Reggie as their own son. Given that Reggie has Down syndrome, he was offered a permanent spot at the Glasshouse Trust, a facility catering to young adults with disabilities. He frequently visits his family and friends in the East End. However, beyond the world of this period drama, Daniel has a famous father and has also made appearances in other popular TV shows. Here's everything you need to know about the TV star as Call the Midwife makes its comeback, reports the Mirror. Born in 1995, Daniel is currently 29 years old. In his late teens, he attended a drama school in London. However, he revealed that he had to leave education due to bullying before he found fame on the BBC period drama. Daniel previously opened up about his past struggles with bullies and how leaving school at 17 led him to find solace in acting. Speaking to The Mirror in 2022, Daniel shared his experience: 'I hated school. I was badly bullied and that made me walk out of school, but because of that, acting found me when I was 17.' He also expressed his mixed feelings about his decision to leave school, saying, 'I can't forgive myself for walking out but because of Heidi Thomas I have bonded and made friends with the cast. If it wasn't for Call The Midwife, where else would I be?
