Playing the protagonists Dexter and Emma respectively, audiences follow the characters as their relationship spans across 20 years.
Following the release of the drama based on the book of the same name, fans were intrigued to discover who The White Lotus star Leo’s famous dad is – the actor Andrew Woodall, who starred in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
However, he’s not the only member of the One Day cast who has a famous connection in their family, as Eleanor Tomlinson, who plays Sylvie, also has a well-known father.
