He revealed in an interview that his peer mentor when he arrived was Jake Wood. 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."
