Marc Elliott Joins BBC Medical Drama Holby City

LONDON: Marc Elliott, best known for his role as Syed Masood in EastEnders, has joined the cast of BBC One’s long-running medical drama Holby City.

Elliott has already started filming with the team. He plays Issac Mayfield, a new doctor who catches the eye of fellow doctor Dominic Copeland (played by David Ames). Elliott commented: “I am so pleased to be joining the lovely and incredibly welcoming cast of Holby City, and very much looking forward to playing this complex and flawed character. My twin sister was born with the brains, and has been working as a fully qualified veterinary surgeon for some years now. I am chuffed that I’m finally going to be able to compete, if only in the pretend world!”

Oliver Kent, executive producer for Holby City, said: “We are delighted to welcome Marc to team Holby, and we can’t wait to see him striding the wards of the hospital. Charming, confident and twinkly, Issac Mayfield will make a handsome addition to the Keller team and will quickly brighten up Dominic’s life…”
