EastEnders viewers are in for a new emotional rollercoaster as a taboo relationship rekindles new drama in Walford. Feelings become complicated, loyalty is put to the test, and everything changes in one moment. Scroll down to find out more.
The flame between Callum and Johnny has been burning for months. Their relationship only grew stronger after Ben was jailed, with Callum having to endure life by himself.
Johnny, who was lost and vulnerable, once misinterpreted Callum’s affection and attempted to kiss him. Callum rejected him then, remaining loyal to Ben.
Things are different now. Johnny just kissed Callum, and Felix, his boyfriend, has left. The domino effect has already started. Cindy, angry at being left short-staffed, is snapping at Callum. And when she does, Lexi overhears everything, including that Callum cheated on her dad.
Lexi’s discovery pushes Callum to act fast and protect her feelings. He tells her he still loves Ben and promises that the kiss meant nothing. He even tracks down Johnny and says they can only be friends.
But emotions take over once again. Callum is driven by guilt. He tells her it’s over, but does he genuinely mean it? Is he holding on to a past that is already lost? Or is it time to decide what makes him happy at last?
