The Reynolds family made quite the splash when they first turned up in Emmerdale.
In 1999, Sean Reynolds (Stephen McGann) moved to the Dales with his wife Angie (Freya Copeland), their son Marc (Anthony Lewis) and daughter Ollie (Vicky Binns).
They were later joined by Sean’s father Len (Peter Martin) following the off-screen death of his mother Eileen.
After locking horns with Chris Tate and Cain Dingle, Sean made a few enemies in and around the village.
The haulage firm owner later split from his wife Angie following an affair with Lady Tara Thornfield (Anna Brecon) and left the Dales in 2002.
Daily Star takes a look inside what the Reynolds family stars are up to now.

Stephen McGann played Sean Reynolds on Emmerdale from 1999 -2002.
After a number of years onscreen, Stephen decided to leave the ITV soap in November 2001.
Sean’s exit storyline was plotted around his extramarital affair with local businesswoman Tara Thornfield.
Having tried to resist temptation for the sake of Sean’s children Marc and Ollie, Sean and Tara eventually gave into their mutual attraction and decided to leave the Dales together to begin a new life in Chester.
His final scenes aired in January 2002.
