Call the Midwife cast: Marc Elliott plays Lionel Corbett
In episode seven of Call the Midwife, Sister Hilda comes to the aid of Edina Corbett.
She’s an expectant mother suffering from a painful hip condition.
But her husband Lionel also seems to be in pain…
Marc Elliott plays dad-to-be Lionel Corbett.
Soap fans will definitely recognise Marc from his previous role as Syed Masood in EastEnders, a role he played from 2009 until 2012.
Marc won the 2010 British Soap Award for Best Newcomer for this role.
Syed was a gay Muslim struggling with his sexuality, family expectations and religion.
Syed’s affair and subsequent relationship with Christian won the hearts of the fans.
And, of course, some viewers were outraged by the sexual scenes between them.
They announced they were leaving in September 2012.
BBC One aired their exit in November of that year.
Of course, actor Marc went on to portray evil Isaac Mayfield in Holby City from 2016 to 2019.
Isaac was a truly vile character who was involved in a harrowing abuse storyline with Dom Copeland.
Actor Marc is much more pleasant in real life, and has also starred in Midsomer Murders, The Bill and Lewis.
