In 2010, it was announced Davies had quit "Hollyoaks" and would depart later in the year. His departure was confirmed at the same time as Glen Wallace, who portrays Malachy Fisher, and John Pickard (Dom Reilly)'s departures. Speaking of his decision to leave, Davies commented, "It's very strange to think that after four years I'll be leaving this place. It's been such a great experience and I've loved every minute — everybody says it but "Hollyoaks" really is a great place to work. I've made some amazing friends in the cast and crew and I'll miss them all. I'm not sure that I'll miss Elliot's geeky glasses and that damn woolly hat but I will miss Elliot — he's been a fantastic character to play and I will look back on this experience with very fond memories". A spokesperson for Channel 4 also commented on the exits, stating: "We're all sad to be losing yet more friends from the cast but everyone acknowledges that actors want to move on to pursue other roles. Nothing's been firmed up yet storyline-wise but one thing's for sure, they'll all be memorable exits."
