Speaking about joining the show, Sean said: I remember watching the very first episode of EastEnders back in 1985, little did I think I would be roaming the streets of Walford and hanging out at The Queen Vic all these years later.
Im so happy to join such an incredibly hard-working and talented team and Im very much looking forward to playing out the drama that inevitably ensues on any given day in Albert Square. My character Ray Kelly is not one to tread lightly, and his arrival to the Square will cause shockwaves for many of the residents… it doesnt get much better than that.
EastEnders boss John Yorke, added: Sean is both a wonderful actor and a delight to work with. His character brings to the show some very big secrets and we cant wait to watch them explode.
One to watch: Tuesday 4th September at 7:30pm on BBC One.
