EastEnders Spoilers: Callum Faces His Past as Walford Prepares for Explosive Week
BBC soap EastEnders is gearing up for one of its most dramatic weeks yet, as advanced spoilers reveal a turbulent new storyline centred on Callum Highway.
The long-running character is set to confront buried secrets and unresolved family tensions, following the shock reappearance and sudden exit of his father, Jonno Highway.
Viewers will recall that Jonno’s brief stint in Albert Square unsettled Walford. His aggressive nature rattled both Callum and brother Stuart, leaving old wounds wide open. Now, the stage is set for an emotional fallout.
According to teasers released by the BBC, the drama kicks off on Monday, 8 September, with Callum hit by an unexpected jolt in the line of duty. From there, the storyline spirals into a series of confrontations and revelations.

Callum will soon come face-to-face with his history as Jonno’s funeral looms. The occasion will mark a rare reunion between Callum, his estranged brother Stuart, and husband Ben Mitchell.
Ben’s appearance is particularly significant, as he will be granted a day of release from prison to attend.
Their fractured dynamic has been one of the soap’s most talked-about threads, especially after Callum betrayed Johnny, a relationship that continues to stir speculation about where his heart truly lies.
“Callum will reunite with Ben and Stuart for Jonno’s funeral, with Callum’s husband Ben getting a day release from prison for the occasion.”
