Connor Calland joins Hollyoaks cast

The actor is to play Sid’s older cousin, Jordan, as Hollyoaks enters its 25th year with a County Lines storyline.

Having been embroiled in crime for a few years, Jordan now targets, manipulates and exploits vulnerable teens to sell drugs for him.

Jordan is confident, chaotic and unpredictable, and will quickly become involved with the Lomax family.

“I’m really excited to come into Hollyoaks and to work with the loveliest, and most talented, bunch of people; even more so, coming in with such a hard hitting and relevant storyline.” – Connor Calland
