Callum and Johnny are rocked by Tim's blackmail in EastEnders

How far will Johnny go to protect Callum?

 21-27 FEBRUARY

Callum is torn over a letter he’s received from Ben, and Linda worries that Johnny’s heart will be broken. And after confiding in Kathy about its contents, Callum is ready to walk away.

When Linda bumps into Tim, they row about Callum, until Tim reveals he’s set up a test to see whether he’s the man the Carters think he is.

Meanwhile, Kathy convinces Callum to help Ben for Lexi’s sake, but when he, Kathy and Ian get to their destination, Callum realises he’s been set up by Tim.

Back in Walford, Johnny is furious that Callum went in the first place, but things go from bad to worse when Tim arrives with news of the damning footage of Callum and blackmails him.

With his and Callum’s relationship in tatters, Johnny resolves to reason with Tim, but instead of backing down, Tim tells Johnny that he’ll delete the footage and drop his demands if Johnny sleeps with him.

Fretting about his freedom, Callum waits to speak to Johnny about his meeting with Tim. What will Johnny say?
