BBC Call the Midwife star Daniel Laurie's life - age, bullying hell and soap star dad
manchestereveningnews.co.ukCall 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.
