Daniel Lomax Jr. is the son of Leela Lomax and Louis Loveday, the half-brother of Lisa Loveday, Zack Loveday, Peri Lomax, Noah Dexter and Clara Dexter, and the foster half-brother of Sid Sumner.

Leela discovered that she was pregnant in July 2016, but was unaware of who the father of her unborn baby was. She gave birth to a son three months prematurely at Christmas 2016 during her wedding to Cameron Campbell, deciding to name the baby "Daniel" after her late father Danny Lomax. Daniel was immediately placed on a ventilator after his birth and Cameron kept a vigil at his bedside. Cameron spotted a birthmark on Daniel's leg and Leela's sister, nurse Tegan Lomax, noticed it as a birthmark that was rare in children with white parents but common in mixed-race children. Tegan ran a paternity test on Daniel, which confirmed to Leela that Cameron was not his father, but Louis with whom she had a one-night-stand with.

After Cameron's imprisonment for several counts of murder in January 2017, Leela began dating Louis's son Zack. Whilst being babysat by Zack, Daniel fell ill and was revealed to have internal bleeding. The doctors initially believed that Daniel had been shaken and Zack was arrested, but they soon realised that Daniel had developed Bernard-Soulier syndrome. Leela then decided to give Daniel to Louis. A month later, Daniel was kidnapped by Sienna Blake after Warren Fox kidnapped their daughter Sophie, but Daniel was returned to his parents.

Louis was murdered in January 2019, and Leela hired Breda McQueen as a babysitter for Daniel - unaware that Breda was Louis's killer. Breda made Daniel a teddy bear, using a button from Louis's shirt. After Breda was revealed to be a serial killer and was killed in January 2020, Leela disposed of the bear.
