Relative soap newcomer Elliott Jordan has joined the cast of EastEnders as lothario Callum Monks.
The 24-year-old's Jack-the-lad character arrives in Walford in search of his father Vinnie Monks (Bobby Davro) and hopes to live with him. He's a real Casanova and can turn his hand to almost anything.
Speaking of his new role, he said: "I am thrilled and really excited to be joining EastEnders. Callum is a great part to play and I can't wait for him to make his mark in Walford."
Executive producer Diederick Santer added: "Callum - played by the very talented and striking Elliott Jordan - will bring a breath of fresh air to Walford. Bright, twinkly, and with the gift of the gab, he'll get the women of Walford all of a flutter."
Elliott, who has previously appeared in the BBC soap in a minor role, has already begun filming at Elstree Studios, home of EastEnders, and will first appear on screens in August.

Yes, but she is still full of doubts, probably takes her a while to trust her own feelings again.

HERE's something to get you grinning girls... the hunk who played Lily Allen's lover in her Smile video is joining EastEnders.
Handsome Elliott Jordan, 25, begins filming on the soap next month.
Bosses were desperate to recruit a new heart-throb as male totty Rob Kazinsky, 24 - alias Sean Slater - quits in October. And Joe Swash, who plays lovable Mickey Miller, is leaving this summer.
Essex-boy Elliott - blue-eyed, brown-haired and 5ft 10ins tall - starred with singer Lily in 2006 and had a bit part in EastEnders a year earlier.
A source said: "He loved it. The producers were impressed with him too. They've been waiting for the right role to offer him. He'll have some major storylines."
He plays Vinnie's son, there is a thread and photo of him on here. :)

Vinnies son have MONEY??? nope guess not cos Vinnie is SKINT all the time,,, so I guess Clare will loose intrest in him rathe quickly if he takes her to the chippy for some chips as their romantic dinner out hee hee:rotfl:
You are right there, she will not be interested if he is not loaded enough to take her to Fargo's at least :D But just because Vinnie is broke, does not mean his offspring is too though.
JustJodi
01-07-2008, 15:51
Oh I agree with ya Perd about the offspring .. look at Vinnie he stole the Vic's profits and sunk it on a nag that lost,,lets hope his sprog is a bit more well heeled LOL

EastEnders newcomer Elliott Jordan arrives in Walford next week as jack-the-lad Callum Monks. Son of Vinnie Monks (Bobby Davro), Callum can turn his hand to almost anything and proves himself to be quite the ladies' man as he immediately eyes up Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), much to Bradley's (Charlie Clements) annoyance. Here, Elliott chats to us about the inspiration for his character, his lust for Stacey Slater and working with comedian Bobby Davro.
What was it like walking onto the Square for the first time?
"It was completely surreal and more than that it was quite magical. It was bigger than I expected because they are literally roads going off everywhere. One minute you are at the tube station and the next you are outside the police station. It literally is like a real mini village. I did feel an honour, as over the years so many great iconic characters have been and gone but the Square remains the same."
Where were you when you found out you landed the part?
"At work. I had office job and it was 6pm on a Monday evening when I found out. I left work that day and obviously that was my last day there. The people I worked with were over the moon for me."
How did the producers pitch the character to you? How would you describe him?
"Well, he's a very laid back and easy going character. He doesn't think too far ahead. He's a bit of a Casanova, definitely a jack the lad. He's very confident and streetwise and he reads people and situations very well, which allows him to get what he wants."
Where do you draw the inspiration for the character from?
"One of the writers said when I first got the job that Callum reminded him of Vincent Chase in Entourage. He is really easy going and naturally seems to get what he wants."
Is he anything like his father, Vinnie?
"I think Callum is who his father would have wanted to be. He has more common sense and is generally more lucky in life."
How does he end up on the Square? Is his Vinnie expecting him?
"Vinnie isn't expecting him at all. He's been sharing a flat with three girls but is chucked out when they realise that he's been sleeping with them all!"
Do we know anything about his mother?
"Yeah, I know his mum has had a bit of a colourful past but that's all I know."
He has a bit of a thing for Stacey when he turns up, doesn't he?
"Oh yeah! From the moment he first sees her, he can't really think about anything else. And Callum generally gets what he wants."
And what about Danielle - doesn't he have a thing for her pretty quickly, too?
"Yeah, he thinks that she is gorgeous but she is not as fiery and stubborn as Stacey. She's there on a plate for him, whereas Stacey is a challenge."
Do you hope your character will assume Sean Slater's 'bad boy' role when Robbie K departs at the end of the year?
"I don't think that Callum has had the dark past like Sean has, but he is streetwise and will always stand up for himself if he needs to. Callum doesn't arrive on the Square with a chip on his shoulder, either."
What's been your funniest moment on set since you began?
"Basically anything with Bobby. It's like I have my own private 'Audience with Bobby Davro' show."
Have you been in touch with Lily Allen since appearing in her 'Smile' video?
"No, unfortunately we never kept in touch but I am really pleased she has done so well."

New boy Callum's about to make a monkey of Bradley
Tuesday 12th August
EastEnders - and Bradley in particular - is about to get a wake-up call with the arrival of new jack-the-lad Callum Monks, played by Elliott Jordan.
Sadly for Bradley, the handsome new addition to the cast makes a beeline for Stacey Slater, and she seems to protest a little too much at the attention from the new boy.
Elliott, 25, said: "At first he’s the one staring at Stacey, but then he catches her looking right back. He feels certain she’s keen on him."
And it doesn't seem to deter him when he meets Bradley and takes a liking to Stacey's other half.
"He really likes Bradley and you’d think that would make him back down but he doesn’t. He’s very selfish," said Elliott.
Would Stacey be that stupid having just got back with Bradley? Anything's possible in Albert Square! Watch for Callum's arrival in EastEnders next week...

He is not a hottie and is a terrible character i hope he leaves with Vinnie
Sharon Marshall said on This Morning that Callum is leaving, he has filmed his last scenes and should be off into the sunset in about two months time :cheer: His character has never done it for me, I think his acting skills suck and I don't find him particularly good looking either.

EastEnders actor Elliott Jordan is to leave the Walford-based soap when his character's planned storyline arc comes to a head.
The 25-year-old actor joined the soap in June last year as jack-the-lad ladies' man Callum Monks.
Upon his arrival, Callum immediately took a shine to Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), who eventually told her husband Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements) that she no longer loved him. In an attempt to move on, Stacey embarked on a rocky romance with her new flame.
Jordan, who has already finished filming with the Walford-based soap, will remain on screen until early spring.
A source told DS: "Viewers will learn a little more about Callum before he leaves Albert Square behind. It won't be long before we see Elliott back on television, though - he already has something else lined up."
Speaking of his departure, he said: "I've had a really great time at EastEnders and I've enjoyed working with all the cast. I've loved every minute of it and I’m looking forward to trying new things."
His screen father Vinnie Monks - played by comedian Bobby Davro - quit the show in July, before bowing out on screen in November.
New arrivals in E20 over the next few months include Syd Chambers (Nina Toussaint-White), Manda Best (Josie Lawrence) and Theo Kelly (Rolan Bell).

DS states he leaves February/March, so not much longer to wait. It also states that EastEnders actor Elliott Jordan is to leave the Walford-based soap when his character's planned storyline arc comes to a head. "Viewers will learn a little more about Callum before he leaves Albert Square behind. It won't be long before we see Elliott back on television, though - he already has something else lined up."

just in case anyone wants to know:
Later, Callum reveals to Stacey that he was hit and locked in places by his mum when he was a child, hence the marks on his legs.
