Elliot Bevan is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera ''Hollyoaks'', played by Garnon Davies. He first appeared on 9 January 2007 as a new student. In July 2010, it was announced that Davies would be leaving the show. He made his final appearance on 15 November 2010. During his time on the show, Elliot was involved in storylines including a relationship with his friend Sarah Barnes (Loui Batley) and finding his long-lost father. ==Character creation== Elliot was created in 2006 and on the day auditions were held and Davies had attended other castings. Of his ''Hollyoaks'' audition Davies stated: "The day I went for the audition I also had a casting for a McVities biscuits ad, I’m glad I got the one I did, but it was a weird audition. I remember thinking how many other boys there were on the day and how attractive they all were. I just thought they want good-looking guys like them, not me." (Carley Stenson) who plays Steph Cunningham in the serial, put in a good word to producers, helping him secure the role.〔 Davies has revealed that he had to escalate his Welsh accent to impress producers, stating: “They also really liked the Welsh thing – they went mad for it. They thought it just added to his geeky character,” he said, with a less pronounced Welsh accent than Elliot’s. I had to ham up my Welshness to fit in with the odd perception of Wales the producers had."〔 In 2010, it was announced Davies had quit ''Hollyoaks'' and would depart later in the year. His departure was confirmed at the same time as Glen Wallace, who portrays Malachy Fisher, and John Pickard (Dom Reilly)'s departures. Speaking of his decision to leave, Davies commented, "It's very strange to think that after four years I'll be leaving this place. It's been such a great experience and I've loved every minute — everybody says it but ''Hollyoaks'' really is a great place to work. I've made some amazing friends in the cast and crew and I'll miss them all. I'm not sure that I'll miss Elliot's geeky glasses and that damn woolly hat but I will miss Elliot — he's been a fantastic character to play and I will look back on this experience with very fond memories".〔 A spokesperson for Channel 4 also commented on the exits, stating: "We're all sad to be losing yet more friends from the cast but everyone acknowledges that actors want to move on to pursue other roles. Nothing's been firmed up yet storyline-wise but one thing's for sure, they'll all be memorable exits."〔 Reflecting on his decision to leave, Davies said, "I think my character had done everything he was going to do on the show and as an actor it felt like a good time to move on. It's exciting to be back out there and auditioning for things again." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elliot Bevan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
