Callum wasn't expecting that Ben Mitchell Callum Highway Johnny Carter Share By Joel Harley Oct 6 2025 By Joel Harley Oct 6 2025 Ben Mitchell returned to Walford in EastEnders tonight (Monday, October 6), as husband Callum Highway prepared to say goodbye to his father. Events became derailed as Kathy and the Mitchells discovered his ongoing affair with Johnny Carter – and forced them to come clean. Backed into a corner, Callum agreed to confess all to Ben and Lexi once the funeral had passed. But what no-one had counted on was the return of Ben, who arrived in town just in time for Jonno’s funeral. Here’s everything that happened in EastEnders tonight. Kathy was furious to learn what Callum had been up to (Credit: BBC) Callum and Johnny went public in EastEnders tonight As Ben returned, it was the day of ‘orrible Jonno Highway’s funeral. And it was all hands on deck for the Mitchells, in spite of Callum’s recent (and unbeknownst to them, still ongoing) betrayal of Ben. Not that they were doing a very good job of hiding their relationship – and Kathy soon spotted them making out in the middle of The Vic. Article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Kathy was furious (she’d made sausage rolls!) and ranted and raved to Harvey and Ian afterwards. She stormed over to confront Callum, giving him a hefty slap for his trouble. Still, he was unapologetic, highlighting how Kathy had also torn a family apart with her affair with Harvey. Ben won’t be smiling for long (Credit: BBC) Ben Mitchell returned in EastEnders tonight Callum’s public row with Kathy was interrupted by the sudden return of his brother, Stuart Highway. Cutting short their reunion, Callum headed over to the café, where he attempted to justify himself to the Mitchells and the Beales… including Phil, who had also learned that the affair was back on. With the secret now out, Callum dragged Johnny off to join him at the funeral. After talking things out with Harvey, Kathy was in a more understanding mood. As the family looked on (including dead Jonno, from his hearse), Callum promised to come clean to both Ben and Lexi, ending things with his husband properly. At the cemetery, Callum and Jonno bid farewell to their dad, although talk was still all about Callum and Johnny. And, as they looked to the future, both were shocked to see none other than Ben Mitchell emerge from the back of a car, in handcuffs. Callum reunites with Ben (Credit: BBC) Johnny’s having second thoughts As the story continues tomorrow, Callum is shocked to see Ben again. Meanwhile, Johnny and Stuart attempt to keep the truth hidden. Back home, Phil and Katy are thrilled to have Ben back. He explains that he was transferred to a UK prison after informing on his cellmate, and granted day release for the funeral. Great news – but thoughts of Callum’s betrayal casts a dark shadow. Meanwhile, at The Vic, Johnny tries to convince Callum to keep quiet about their relationship. However, Callum remains determined to tell Ben. Will he come clean and break Ben’s heart? What else happened in EastEnders tonight Tonight's EastEnders was dominated by Jonno Highway's funeral and the fallout from Johnny and Callum's affair. Elsewhere, Harry and Gina returned to Walford following their weekend break. The good mood wasn't to last though, and Harry was dismayed to learn that Kojo was still in deep with Ravi and Okie. Meanwhile, as Suki reconnected with her family, she attempted to reach out to her wife. And, in the wake of Stacey's exit, the Slaters attempted to build bridges between Zoe and Jean. Here's everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight. Harry made a huge decision as Kojo collapsed Harry and Gina returned from their weekend away, more loved-up than ever. However, Harry's fresh start wasn't to last - Kojo was also back in town, after being strong-armed into another shady trip for Okie. Seeing Kojo in an exhausted state, Harry soon realised what had happened - and was horrified when he collapsed on the Arches floor. Back home, he attempted to cover for Okie and Ravi as Gina and Junior (Anna was also there) pressed Kojo on where he'd been. Fuming, Harry stormed over to see Ravi, demanding answers. After being sent packing, a panicking Harry returned home, where he explained to dad Teddy exactly what had been going on. He was set on shopping Ravi and Okie to the police. Can Teddy talk Harry out of doing something he might regret? Suki reached out to her family With Elaine having purchased the flat, Ravi, Priya and the kids were out on their ear. Spotting an opportunity, Suki suggested that they all move back in with her. Still fuming over the insane baby-buying idea, Ravi was reticent, but Priya and the kids managed to talk him around. With the rest of her family back home, there was still one person missing, and Suki was determined to complete the set. Heading over to the cafe, she paid a visit to Eve, and managed to talk her into a drink. Jean's feuding with Zoe Following Stacey's abrupt departure from Walford, the Slaters were still smarting at Zoe's behaviour. Not having had a chance to say goodbye, Jean was angriest at all, and wanted Zoe out of the house. Good news for Kat, who now had her daughter back with him at the flat.
