Elliot Bevan is a fictional character from the British soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Garnon Davies.

Elliot's storylines included a relationship with his friend Sarah Barnes (Loui Batley) and finding his long-lost father.

"[1] Carley Stenson who plays Steph Cunningham in the show, praised Davies to producers, which he believed helped him to secure the role.

They thought it just added to his geeky character, I had to ham up my Welshness to fit in with the odd perception of Wales the producers had.

[5] A writer from the official Hollyoaks website described Elliot as a "science geek" who struggles to charm potential love interests.

He explained "we are both terrible worriers and I realised we both like our own company, I love having lots of time to myself and Elliot is obviously a bit of a loner.

Davies added that Steph was "making Welshcakes and wearing a garland of leeks and singing old Welsh songs.

[6] A Hollyoaks publicist told an What's on TV reporter that "His character is a little bit different and he's always finding himself having to bite his tongue or get back at people.

He revealed that the character would ditch his usual geeky attire for a "funky" generic male look, complete with a new haircut styled with hair gel.

"[9] In 2008, Writers continued to play on this and created a story in which Elliot falls in love with his friend, Sarah Barnes (Loui Batley).

When Sarah asks for Elliot's help to catch the culprit who injected Michaela McQueen (Hollie-Jay Bowes) with heroin, he uses the opportunity to impress her.

Davies told Laura-Jayne Tyler from Inside Soap that "although Elliot's not aware of it, Sarah gets really jealous of his closeness to her mate - especially when he invites Hannah to attend a comics fair with them.

Davies revealed that his character is left in shock when Sarah interrupts the tournament to publicly tells everyone she is in love with Elliot.

Davies claimed that this made the filming experience "weird" but they eventually got used to portraying their character's romantic trysts.

[14] Actress Hollie-Jay Bowes who plays Michaela in the show, later confirmed plot details of the alien storyline via social networking website Twitter.

[4] A Channel 4 publicist told Green that it was "sad" to lose more cast members "but everyone acknowledges that actors want to move on to pursue other roles."

[3] Davies released a statement about his departure, in which he stated "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.

"[3] Elliot arrives in January 2007 as a radio caller who calls Kris Fisher (Gerard McCarthy) to tell him about his views on UFOs.

Elliot tries to stand up for Steph when she is taunted by Wayne Tunnicliffe (Joe Marsden) and Sonny Valentine (Devon Anderson).

Elliot learns his mother Bonnie has arranged a marriage for him back in Wales to a girl named Rhiannon.

Elliot becomes friends with John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) when they take over Kris's radio station after an argument.

Elliot begins to feel that the radio broadcasts are the only time anyone ever listens to him, so they agree not to tell Kris that they were the ones who took over the station.

During a date, Elliot is angered to discover it was a publicity stunt, due to Sarah's modelling career, and is upset when a reporter taunts him about his looks.

Still upset over Sarah, Elliot refuses to help Lauren Valentine (Dominique Jackson) and Barry "Newt" Newton (Nico Mirallegro) with their studies.

However, Elliot and Hannah's relationship is also short lived, as he seems more interested in spending time with her father Nev (Jim Millea), building model rockets.

Elliot, Kris, Zak and Archie Carpenter (Stephen Beard) move into a flat together, where they find £100,000 belonging to Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas).

However, Archie calls his friend Ged Paxton (Charlie Wade) to pretend to kidnap him, claiming to be an old acquaintance of Warren's looking for the money.

"[18] Gary Ryan from NME branded the alien story and Elliot joining NASA as one of Hollyoaks' "most bonkers plotlines".

"[20] Western Mail's Sion Morgan claimed Davies was "best known for his portrayal of geeky Welsh student Elliot Bevan.

"[21] Hill believed that Elliot's arranged marriage to fellow Welsh national Rhiannon was problematic and unoriginal.
