Elliott played by Rob Leach

Elliott is 18, he likes football, cars, lager and girls.  He worries what his friends and family will think of him if he comes out.  He likes to wear football shirts but has a collection of pink shirts which he thinks makes him fit in, his favourite colour is blue.  He has sexy posters of girls on his bedroom wall but to conceal the truth they also contain guys too.

He is adopted and lives with two gay men, Mark and Sam.  Ellliott doesn’t get on that well with his dad Mark but he is much closer to Sam.  He hasn’t travelled much outside of Brighton except for family holidays, usually to Sitges, Gran Canaria or Mykonos.  He is discovering his sexuality and yearns for sex, although he has never had it.  He wants to get a tattoo.   He has just left school and has got a job in a sports retail shop but he wants to become a car mechanic.

Elliott is very confused about his sexuality, he gets very down about it sometimes, he has grown up in a very gay environment and knows little about heterosexuality.  It wasn’t really covered at school, except in the playground, where he was bullied and picked on and accused of being straight.  He therefore tries to act a little gay in front of his parents and friends.  He thinks they would reject him and not like him if he tells of his feelings.  Sam suspects he might be straight but ignores it, Mark is not going to like it at all.
