Jonno's heart gives out

Johnny Carter engineered a meeting between Callum Highway and estranged father Jonno in EastEnders tonight (Wednesday, September 10), following his recent return to the soap. Jonno came crashing back into Callum’s life last night, after being party to a homophobic attack on Eve.

Realising that his dad was responsible, Callum arrested Jonno, and was forced to put up with another load of bilious abuse from his abusive, homophobic dad. Jonno claimed to have been innocent, but it soon became clear that he hadn’t changed a bit since we’ve seen him last.

Nevertheless, Johnny realised how deeply the interaction had affected Johnny, and set about mending bridges between father and son.

Johnny tried to build bridges in EastEnders tonight

Johnny reached out to Jonno in EastEnders tonight, after offering legal advice on his case. After learning that Johnny was related to the Carter family, Jonno agreed to take things to The Vic for a drink, where Johnny tried to talk sense into the old homophobe.

Surprisingly, Jonno was receptive to Johnny’s attempts, and agreed to meet with his son. Triumphant, Johnny paid Callum a visit afterwards, informing him that Jonno wanted to meet and try to talk things out. Callum was touched, and agreed to go along with Johnny and Jonno’s plan.

But is Johnny setting Callum up for a fall?
