Seth Costello is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks, played by Miles Higson. He made his first on-screen appearance on 20 July 2010. His first major storyline was in 2011 when he was the centre of a steroids storyline. He also became involved in the storyline where his father Carl Costello (Paul Opacic) began an affair with his soon-to-be daughter-in-law Mercedes Fisher (Jennifer Metcalfe).
On 12 April 2010, media entertainment website Digital Spy reported that a new family, the Costello's, would be introduced to Hollyoaks as part of the soap's ongoing rejuvenation. Newcomer Miles Higson was cast in the role of Seth Costello, the youngest son of ex-model Heidi (Kim Tiddy) and former footballer Carl Costello (Paul Opacic), the brother of Riley (Rob Norbury) and the twin brother of Jasmine (Victoria Atkin). Fifteen-year-old Seth was described as "desperate to prove himself to his parents" and "wants to step out of his brother's shadow". Of the castings, Hollyoaks series producer Paul Marquess stated: "We can't wait for this huge new boost of energy exploding on screen. These exciting new characters join our fantastic core cast. Together they will ensure that 2010 will be a year to remember on Hollyoaks."
Channel Five's soap opera reporting website Holy Soap described Seth as a "cocky schoolboy".Channel 4 describe him as "cocky and self-assured". He is determined not to be a sidekick, but cannot escape from Riley's shadow. Channel 4 also describe Seth as a "cheeky chap". Describing Seth's personality compared to his own in an interview with the official Hollyoaks website, Higson commented: "We're probably very similar. In the family, I'm meant to be the one that's not into football, and I'm not in real life, so that's been quite easy to do. Seth's quite vulnerable too and... well, I’m not. No, I am quite vulnerable too. He’s basically me, but just like a younger version of myself!"
