2 Oakdale Drive is a home on Oakdale Drive, currently home to Leela Dexter, Leela's children Peri and Daniel Lomax, and Leela's husband Joel Dexter.
The flat was purchased by newlyweds Richard Taylor and Liz Burton, who lived in the flat with Richard's children, Ali and Darlene Taylor, and Liz's children, Mel, Sophie and Justin Burton. In August 2005, Ali was fatally struck by a car, Richard left in December after his infidelity was exposed, and Darlene left to move back with her mother in February 2006. Liz also decided to leave the village in June 2006, and sold the house to the Valentine family in July.
Diane Valentine moved into the house with her three children; Calvin, Sasha and Sonny. Diane was killed in a hit-and-run accident the same month, and so their estranged father, Leo, moved in. Valerie Holden, the woman Leo had left Diane for, arrived and dumped their two children, Danny and Lauren, on the doorstep. The pair ended up moving in permanently. Valerie returned in January 2008 and moved in with the Valentines, but left with Danny in September 2008. The same month, Calvin married Carmel McQueen and she also moved in.
Calvin and Carmel ended up divorcing in 2009, and Carmel ended up moving back in with her family. After Warren Fox was (supposedly) killed in a fire at The Loft, the Valentines decided to invite his foster brother, Spencer Gray, to move in. Calvin was shot dead by Carmel's cousin, Theresa McQueen, in May 2010, and the rest of the Valentines (along with Spencer) moved to London in August.
Cheryl Brady, a lodger with the Valentine family, purchased the house from them. Cheryl was later joined by her brother Brendan Brady and friend Lynsey Nolan. Cheryl's boyfriend Gilly Roach moved in when he was accused of raping Jacqui McQueen in 2011, but he later left the village. Lynsey was murdered in June 2012, Brendan was arrested for murder in March 2013, and Cheryl left for Ireland with partner Nate Tenbury-Newent the same month.
Danny Lomax became the next owner of the property, joined by his wife Sam, daughters Tegan and Leela Lomax, and granddaughter Peri Lomax. After Danny's long-lost-son Ste Hay's flat was destroyed in a bomb explosion, Danny invited him to move in. Danny and Sam were killed in a car accident in August 2014, with Leela's boyfriend Ziggy Roscoe and Peri's father Cameron Campbell moving in afterwards.
