A familiar face is returning to EastEnders next week, and he’s going to cause trouble for Callum Highway (Tony Clay) and Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff.

Tim made his arrival towards the end of last year and was introduced as an old client of Johnny’s.

Suave and self-assured, Tim made an immediate impression on Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe), who was charmed by his charisma and professionalism. On the surface, he seemed like the perfect business partner, someone who could help Johnny turn things around.

When Callum arrived and met Tim for the first time, he was taken aback by how different he was from what he expected.

There was something about the newcomer’s slick manner that left Callum unsettled, and his instincts told him Tim might have more on his mind than business.

In upcoming episodes, Tim is back in Walford requesting a meeting with Johnny and also Callum. Johnny is forced to explain to his partner that he’s struggling to keep the business afloat, and needs Tim to invest more.

When the duo arrive, Callum is horrified when Tim asks for an illegal favour. He refuses, before storming out.

That evening, Johnny finds Callum with divorce papers from Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden). They row again, and a troubled Callum asks Johnny to leave.

In the week, Callum and Johnny remain at odds over Tim’s request. Fortunately, the tension is broken when Callum says that he’ll help Johnny find new investors, but the local solicitor cannot help but fear his business is doomed.

There’s further bad news where Ben is concerned, as a mate of his arrives with a deeply troubling request, leaving Callum and Johnny shaken.

What is going on?

Is there more to Tim than meets the eye?

If Callum cannot find a new investor for Johnny, will they have no choice but to comply with Tim’s illegal request?
