Responding to an Instagram post from the soap teasing a storyline of Will Taylor accusing Sam Dingle of stealing his expensive watch, Kelvin wrote: "If he touches Sam like that again I’m coming back to sort it."
The actor spoke in 2021 about the struggle of getting roles, saying: "A friend of mine, an actress, just messaged me and said, 'I can't even get a f***ing self-tape.'
"Let me tell you, I've had about 10 nos in these last few months. So, keep the faith. Patience is key, as I always say. It's only a little gig, so don't be getting too bothered.
"For all those out there who, like me, are sick of hearing the nos, I'm sure I'm going to get a lot more nos after this one. But I'm enjoying this while it is."
Hollyoaks streams first on All 4, with new episodes dropping each weekday morning. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, and at 7pm on E4.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
