Storylines
Lenny was first seen in Walford in May 1996. Lenny, along with his Welsh friend, Huw Edwards, were employed by George Palmer as barmen for the Cobra Club.

Lenny and Huw soon moved to the Square and began renting 55 Victoria Road from Mark and Ruth Fowler. The house was situated next to Ian Beale's and they managed to make an enemy of him by continually playing their music extremely loudly in the evening and they also ran a pirate radio station from the premises for a while. Ian tried to get them evicted several times — once calling the council to complain about noise pollution — and Lenny and Huw did everything they could to wind him up further.

As well as his bar work, Lenny was also hired as a cab driver by Barry Evans in 1997. Lenny spent most of his time drinking, playing poker and throwing parties. Lenny was also a womaniser, and he took an immediate shine to Bianca Jackson. He constantly pursued her and even though she was dating the mechanic Ricky Butcher at the time, they had a one-night stand, which resulted in a pregnancy scare. Lenny was mortified at the idea of being a father, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Bianca opted not to tell Ricky about her infidelity and married him instead.

After the Cobra Club closed following a police raid, Lenny lost his job and both he and Huw were unable to pay their rent on time. Mark and Ruth decided to ask them to vacate the property, but they refused and claimed squatters' rights instead. This came at an incredibly bad time for the Fowlers as they were applying to become foster parents, and needed to resume living in the property in order to show that they had a stable home environment for a child. Although it was initially Huw's idea to claim squatters' rights, when Barry Evans offered him a room at his flat, he jumped at the chance and left Lenny alone. Lenny was furious, but as it was now just him in the house, Mark and Ruth decided to let him stay on as a lodger and they moved back in. He stayed with them for several months until he patched up his differences with Huw and they both then decided to squat in one of the flats at 47 Albert Square.
