It’s crisis time for Callum and Johnny next week in EastEnders, and this one could seriously be make or break.

What starts as a messy bit of meddling quickly spirals into full-blown chaos, with Linda sticking her oar in, Tim refusing to back down, and Max taking matters into his own hands in typically dramatic fashion.

Linda is already uneasy after Tim’s so-called ‘test’ of Callum, and she can’t shake the feeling that she should have stopped it before it ever got this far. In an emotional moment, she admits to Elaine that she could have intervened. Elaine urges her to leave it alone, but when has Linda ever been good at that?

Ignoring the advice, she comes clean to Johnny about everything.

Safe to say, it does not go down well.

Johnny is furious that his mum has interfered yet again, especially when things are already fragile between him and Callum. Instead of fixing anything, Linda’s confession just pours petrol on the fire.

Things only get more awkward when Johnny has to meet Tim at the office to sign paperwork. It’s tense enough as it is, but then Linda turns up and lays into Tim, berating him and making a scene. Johnny is mortified. The last thing he needs is his mum fighting his battles in public.

He sends her packing, desperate to salvage some dignity.
