Johnny and Callum broke the news of their relationship to Lexi this week – thanks to overbearing Johnny, who spilled their beans with his impatient attitude. In last night’s episode (Tuesday, October 14), Callum tried to make things right with Lexi. In an attempt to build a bond between Lexi and his new man, he facilitated a lunch for them all, sponsored by moneybags lawyer Johnny. It was then that Lexi turned the tables, sending Johnny’s work contacts a scandalous e-mail from his phone. Some EastEnders fans, however, have taken issue with Johnny’s recent behaviour – with a number predicting that he may become the soap’s next villain.
