Overview

  • Phil Mitchell confronted Callum and Johnny in the Queen Vic and physically grabbed Johnny until Jay, Billy and Callum intervened.
  • The altercation followed Callum’s secret romance reigniting during Walford’s Pride celebrations while his husband Ben Mitchell serves time in an American prison for fraud.
  • Their clandestine affair at the Prince Albert pub led Johnny’s boyfriend Felix to leave Walford for Spain with his cousin Bernie.
  • Cindy Beale’s public criticism of Callum over Felix’s departure at the Prince Albert intensified tensions before Phil’s discovery.
  • Speculation has grown that Max Bowden will return later this year to reprise the role of Ben Mitchell.
