I never watch eastenders

But I do know that in real life he murdered a man -a taxi driver he was trying to rob.
So I expect the mans family are not sad he's gone .

My goodness, never knew that either, must have been before he started acting.

Re: Leslie Grantham has died.

He was in Germany doing his National Service .
He shot the man in the head.
He did some acting in prison productions and took it up after he left gaol I really don't understand life sentences it must sometimes mean just a few years or they time off for good behaviour.
