EastEnders\u2019 Callum Highway and Johnny Carter embrace their relationship next week, with Callum having sadly called time on his marriage to Ben Mitchell<\/a>. However, the Mitchells are going to take some winning over before they accept Johnny in Callum\u2019s life \u2013 starting with Lexi!<\/a><\/p>\n

“Poor Lexi has had so many father figures in her life, it\u2019s understandable that she can\u2019t be bothered to be nice to Johnny,” says our Walford insider.<\/p>\n

“She\u2019s been through so much at such a young age, and finding out that Callum has moved on from her dad Ben<\/a> is crushing.”<\/p>\n

Attempting to win the youngster round, Johnny showers Lexi with gifts during an awkward meal \u2013 much to the displeasure of Billy.<\/p>\n

Lexi\u2019s grandfather firmly insists that Callum put a stop to Johnny spoiling Lexi, but when Callum sees how happy Lexi is when Johnny gets her concert tickets, he\u2019s torn.<\/p>\n

“Callum wants the best for Lexi and feels like she deserves all of the great things that Johnny can afford to give her,” our source explains.<\/p>\n

“On the other hand, Billy doesn\u2019t approve of the way that Johnny is buying his way into her heart. And if Callum doesn\u2019t put a stop to it, he risks upsetting the Mitchells even more than he already has.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Callum has other concerns. Earlier in the week, Johnny meets up with an ex-client and decides to go into business with him.
<\/p>\n

After some positive encouragement from Callum, recently unemployed Johnny<\/a> decides to explore an exciting new business opportunity with associate Tim. And when the guy arrives at the Vic for his meeting with Johnny, Elaine is immediately impressed!<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not all plain sailing, as when Callum arrives, he\u2019s shocked to find that Tim isn\u2019t exactly what he expected \u2013 and he warns Johnny about Tim\u2019s possible ulterior motives\u2026<\/p>\n

Callum suspects that Tim could be interested in something other than business with Johnny, but Johnny chooses to go against Callum\u2019s wishes and team up with Tim anyway. They become business partners, cementing Tim\u2019s place in their lives.<\/p>\n

With a new boyfriend and his eagerness to impress Lexi, will Johnny\u2019s big break with Tim pay off? Or will going against Callum\u2019s wishes cost him everything?<\/p>\n
