'''Reg Dawson''' is the first husband of [[Viv Hope|Viv Windsor]] ([[Deena Payne]]) and father of [[Scott Windsor]] ([[Toby Cockerell]]). He first appeared on 3 May 1994.
Reg, who abandoned Scott and Viv early in Scott's life, arrives in Emmerdale to see Scott after serving time in prison. His stay causes friction with [[Vic Windsor|Vic]] ([[Alun Lewis (actor)|Alun Lewis]]), Viv's current husband andafter Reg declares that he is going to get Viv and Scott back. Reg eventually leaves. Several days later, Reg and his gang commit an armed robbery on the post office and take Viv and [[Shirley Turner (Emmerdale)|Shirley Turner]] ([[Rachel Davies]]) hostage at Home Farm. The situation worsens when Reg shoots and kills one of his henchmen [[#Simmy|Simmy]] (Stuart St. Paul). Later into the siege, Viv argues with Reg and he is about to shoot her when Shirley jumps in the way of the gun and takes the bullet and dies instantly. Viv then tries to get Reg to give himself up and tells him she will say Shirley's death is an accident. Reg, realising there is no way out, plans for him and Viv to die together in a suicide pact. Before this happens, a police marksman shoots Reg dead. In his will, he leaves Viv several thousand pounds, but a stipulation said she had to leave her current husband, to receive the money. She declines and stays with Vic.
