Les is a funeral director who visits Carol Jackson and David Wicks on 9th January 2012 to arrange Pat Evans' funeral. He tells them he used to know Pat when he was an apprentice, implying he was her client when she was a prostitute, and offers a discount on the funeral. He says that he arranged funerals for many of the other local residents, including David's father Pete Beale, Ethel Skinner and Archie Mitchell. He will return on 20 June. TV columnist for The Sun, Ally Ross, called Sloman's cameo appearance in the show "TV gold". Of Pat and Les, Kate White of Inside Soap said "Pat had, erm, 'relations' with Mr Coker the undertaker. What a forward-thinking way to get a discount on your funeral." The Daily Mirror's Jane Simon commented on Les's scenes, saying "You don't often get laughs out of an undertaker, but the chap who turns up to arrange Pat's funeral has Carol Jackson spluttering into her tea." Now Les has returned for Lucy Beale's funeral.
