Reg Dawson is the first husband of Viv Hope and father of Scott Windsor. He first appeared on 24 May 1994.
Reg, who abandoned Scott and Viv early in Scott's life, arrives in Emmerdale when he commits a robbery which turns into a siege at Home Farm. He kills one of his henchmen and Shirley Turner, who died after receiving a bullet intended for Viv. Reg is shot dead by a police marksman. In his will, he leaves Viv several thousand pounds, but a stipulation said she had to leave her current husband, Vic Windsor, to receive the money. She declines and stays with Vic.
