Elvis was described as cheeky, confident, cocky, and driven after Pasqualino's casting was announced in March 2016. As he had previously starred in The Musketeers, the actor was used to the heavy uniforms and intense heat that came with filming in South Africa. When the third series was commissioned, Pasqualino's commitments to a role in Snatch meant he had to leave Our Girl after four episodes. Pasqualino and series creator Tony Grounds decided that Elvis's death was the best route for the development of the series, despite Pasqualino hoping Elvis's character wouldn't be forgotten by fans. Elvis's character and relationship with Georgie were generally well-received, and his eventual demise prompted mournful reactions from viewers.
