Callum and Johnny’s relationship hit an all-time low in EastEnders today, but things are only set to get worse when Ben makes a shocking demand tomorrow.

Could this be the final nail in the coffin for Callum and Johnny’s relationship?

Johnny put his business before Callum

After Tim asked the couple out for a drink, Johnny worked hard to persuade Callum to go, knowing that he needed to butter Tim up for further investment in his law firm.

At first, Callum wasn’t sure about seeing Tim. But when Johnny told him his business was on the brink of financial collapse, he wasn’t left with a lot of choice.

When the couple arrived at The Albert to meet Tim, they joked about what safe word they should use if Tim got too flirty with Callum. However, it soon turned out that Tim’s affections were the least of their worries.

Tim made a shocking demand

The real reason Tim had asked the couple out for a drink soon became clear.

He explained that he had a competitor at work who was rumoured to have a criminal record. He wanted Callum to dig through police files to get the dirt so he could use it to his advantage.

Callum was horrified at the request, pointing out that he would lose his job. At first, Johnny was equally shocked by Tim’s demands. However, when Tim asked why he should invest in Johnny’s business if they weren’t going to help him, Johnny soon changed his tune.

Backed into a corner, Callum told Tim where to go before marching out of the bar – leaving Tim fuming and his relationship with Jonnny hanging by a thread.

EastEnders: Is it over for Jonny and Callum?

Later, Johnny went to see Callum and the pair had a huge fight. Johnny asked why Callum had risked his career for Ben but not for him, and Callum was furious.

Johnny admitted that he was jealous of Ben and Lexi. But it was only when Callum showed him his divorce papers that had come through from Ben, and Johnny reacted with disinterest, that Callum lost it.

Yelling at Johnny that not everything is about him all of the time and that getting divorced was a huge thing for him, Callum tells Johnny to leave. Could this be the end for the pair?

The drama continues tomorrow when Callum hears from Ben in EastEnders

Unfortunately for Callum and Johnny, this drama is far from over. As Callum tries to make amends, it looks like things are back on track. However, when a friend of Ben’s turns up with a shocking message… all hell breaks loose.

Spoilers for next week reveal that Callum is torn over a letter he has received from Ben. He is determined to walk away from the situation and focus on Johnny. But Kathy convinces him that he has to help Ben for Lexi’s sake.

However, when Ian, Kathy and Callum arrive in a mystery location to help Ben, they realise Tim has set them up.

Tim later arrives with news of the damning footage of Callum and uses it to blackmail him. Jonny decides to try to reason with Tim. But Tim reveals he will only delete the footage of Callum if Johnny sleeps with him. Will Johnny go through with Tim’s demands to save Callum?

What else happened in EastEnders tonight?

As well as Callum and Johnny falling out over Tim's shocking request, Jasmine was charged with murder and Zoe returned home to Albert Square.

It was also revealed that Max was the one who stole Jasmine's phone, while Harry agreed to move in with Kojo.

Zoe was released from prison

Jasmine begged the police to believe that she acted in self-defence, but with her phone missing and no evidence to back up her claims, they had no choice but to charge her with murder.

Meanwhile, Zoe was stunned to learn that Jasmine killed Anthony. Kat was thrilled to have her back home, but Zoe was determined to find the phone and get Jasmine out of jail.

Max found Jasmine's video

Little did Zoe know that Max was the one who had Jasmine's phone. He managed to hack in and watch the video, which clearly showed Jasmine acting in self-defence. But what will he do with the evidence now he has it?

Harry did the right thing for Kojo

Despite having reservations about moving back to their old flat, Harry agreed to live there with Kojo again. Bravely putting his own worries aside to support his friend. Will Harry manage to move on from what happened there last year?

Nicola and George made things official

George and Nicola gathered their families to announce that George was moving into Number 1. While Kojo was pleased, Harry worried what Teddy would make of the news. Could this be the start of a new family dynamic for them all?
