Lexi doesn’t like Johnny in EastEnders spoilers

Lexi’s world has been turned upside down by the discovery of Callum’s affair with Johnny. With Ben insisting he wants a divorce, there seems no way back for Ballum, and Lexi blames Johnny for the collapse of her dads’ marriage.

Refusing to let Johnny get away with it, Lexi hatched a plan. She swiped the lawyer’s phone and emailed the last 50 contacts in his address book, saying that he’s a “fat pig who steals other people’s husbands”. Johnny then promptly got the sack, just as Lexi has hoped.

Despite losing his job, Johnny is still desperate to win Lexi over. But she remains cold to him next week and refuses to accept her dad’s new man. Elaine and Callum try to encourage Johnny to focus his energies on exploring a business opportunity with one of his former clients, Tim.

Johnny and Tim go into business

Bringing his gran Elaine along for moral support, Johnny goes to The Vic to see Tim.

The meeting gets off to a promising start as Tim cracks open the champers and immediately impresses Elaine with his smooth chat. But as talk turns to Johnny’s new business opportunity, Callum suddenly walks into the pub.

He’s surprised to find Tim is nothing like he was expecting and doesn’t like the cut of his jib. Concerned that this newcomer could be taking Johnny for a ride, Callum tries to warn his boyfriend of the risks.

However, Callum decides to throw caution to the wind and agrees he’ll go into partnership with Tim anyway. Will he live to regret it?
