EastEnders’ Johnny Carter opens his heart up to love next week after he tells Felix Baker that he’d like them to have a serious relationship
While chatting with Elaine in the café, Johnny confesses that his feelings for Felix are more than just casual, and he wants them to make a go of things as a proper couple.
“Johnny and Felix are a cute match,” says our EastEnders insider. “Ever since Linda set her son up with Felix, the attraction has been growing between them – even though they insisted they weren’t into each other at first.
“They’ve casually hooked up, but had agreed that their arrangement was open and relaxed. So, Johnny’s quite nervous to tell Felix he’s had a change of heart, which is why he confides in his gran – he knows he can rely on Elaine for solid dating advice.”
