The trouble kicks off in EastEnders on Monday, February 23rd.
When Callum finds himself torn over a letter he has received from Ben. After a heart-to-heart with Kathy about the contents of the note, Callum initially decides he is ready to walk away from the situation entirely.
However, Kathy isn’t about to let him give up that easily. She eventually convinces Callum to help Ben for the sake of Lexi. But as Callum, Kathy, and Ian arrive at their destination, the penny drops: Callum realizes he’s been lured into a trap set by Tim.
Back in the Square, Johnny is left fuming that Callum went to the meeting in the first place. But anger quickly turns to dread when Tim arrives in Walford with “damning footage” of Callum and a clear blackmail demand.
Later, the stress of the secret takes its toll, leaving Johnny and Callum’s relationship in tatters. Desperate to sort the situation, Johnny decides to confront Tim to talk some sense into him.
However, Tim isn’t looking for an apology. Instead, he delivers a ultimatum. He tells Johnny he will delete the footage and drop the blackmail demands on one condition: Johnny must sleep with him.
It remains to be seen what happens as Callum frets about his freedom while waiting to speak to Johnny about his meeting with Tim.
