This is on the official BBC website!!

Tom Ellis to join the cast
Actor Tom Ellis will appear as Albert Square's new GP.


Actor Tom Ellis is to join EastEnders to play a handsome doctor by the name of Oliver Cousins. Dr Cousins will make the perfect GP. He cares about people, has a gentle manner and is well principled.
Dr Cousins is the fifth doctor to come and work in Walford
Oliver's been looking for a community in which he can get to know the patients. He wants to have a positive impact on their lives, which is why he's chosen to move to Walford. He follows in the footsteps of doctors Legg, Fonseca, Trueman and Leroy.
Tom Ellis joins the show for five months from December. Dr Oliver Cousins will be on screen early in the New Year.
Tom Ellis' credits include Much Ado About Nothing, Love Soup, Waking The Dead, Messiah 3 and Mike Leigh's film Vera Drake.
Tom said: "I'm very much looking forward to joining EastEnders, it's a very exciting time to be involved in the show."
Read about other recent signings to the EastEnders cast, Kellie Shirley, Diane Parish and Dave Hill.

He was excellent in Much ado about nothing on Monday!!

wow there so so many new characters joining EE at the moment. I wonder if any of them will be good enough to replace all the great characters leaving.

It states that he is only going to be in it for 5 months though. I wonder if he is soming in for certain storylines or whether he has just been given a short term contract for the time being?

Tom Ellis is Tamzin Outhwaite's hubby may I add. All these new signings should really help the show.
