Caught cheating by Phil. Torn between Ben and Johnny. And now, the texts are getting bolder… Callum’s fling is spiraling out of control — and Lexi might be the one who gets hurt the most.
Callum Highway is at a crossroads — one paved with temptation, lies, and broken vows. What began as a moment of weakness has now become a dangerous obsession that could blow his entire life apart.
Just weeks ago, Callum gave in to his feelings for Johnny Carter, despite being married to Ben Mitchell. The affair was meant to be secret. It was meant to be controlled. But when Phil caught them red-handed, all hell broke loose. Phil’s rage was immediate and unforgiving — a warning shot that should’ve ended everything.
And for a moment, it did.
Callum backed off. He returned home, tried to be the perfect husband and father figure, especially to young Lexi. He played his role. But his heart? It never left Johnny.
Now, as the days pass and Ben remains emotionally distant, loneliness creeps in — and Callum finds himself falling back into danger. A single flirty text exchange with Johnny quickly reignites the fire he swore he’d put out.
But he’s not as invisible as he thinks.
Jay, ever observant and protective of the family, catches wind of the flirtation. He confronts Callum, warning him that continuing this fling could ruin everything — especially for Lexi, the child caught in the middle.
Callum is shaken. For a moment, he tries to ground himself again, taking Lexi on a “girls’ day” to cheer her up after a sad phone call from Ben. He smiles, he laughs, but inside he’s drowning — trapped between loyalty and longing.
According to insiders, Callum is at breaking point: “He cooled things with Johnny after Phil found out, but the loneliness has only grown. Now, he’s asking himself — does he keep suffering silently, or finally put himself first?”
Jay fears the fallout, not just for Ben and Lexi, but for Callum himself. Because once the truth comes out — and it always does in Walford — there may be no way back.
Callum thought he could control it. That it was just a phase. But what if it’s not? What if Johnny is more than just a fling?
And the real question: will Callum choose the family he built… or the life he secretly wants?
