Sam plays the role of Leon Small, the latest heart-throb on the square.

Leon is sexy and effortlessly cook but with a short fuse and a lack of respect for those in authority.  He is a dedicated boxer and takes pride in the fact that in the ring ‘no-one touches the face’.  Leon is extremely popular with feisty ladies, performing as a stripogram at Bianca's hen do and bravely romancing Zsa Zsa Carter and troublesome Lucy Beale.  He got Lucy pregnant but she decided not to keep the baby without telling him first.
