Sparks sizzle between EastEnders' Johnny and Callum - but a warning is issued
EastEnders' Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) may have slammed the brakes on son-in-law Callum Highway (Tony Clay) affair with Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff), but they just can't keep away from each other next week. The pair hooked up last month after sharing a surprise kiss during the Pride event at The Albert, which effectively ended Johnny's romance with recently departed Felix Baker (Matthew James Morrison). Callum was wracked with guilt about sleeping with Johnny as he is still married to Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden), who is currently serving a six-year prison sentence for fraud in the States. While that didn't stop Callum going back for more, their secret affair was soon uncovered by Ben's furious father Phil, who violently attacked Johnny. Since then, the pair have cooled things off, with Callum insisting he is committed to waiting for Ben. However, things begin to heat up again in forthcoming scenes as Callum flirts over text with Johnny, who is away on a cruise with his mum Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and his younger siblings. As Callum later enjoys a girl's day with stepdaughter Lexi Pearce (Isabella Brown), who is upset following a phone call with dad Ben, Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) pales when he spots the flirty exchange on Callum's phone. Jay warns his friend off going there again with Johnny, but will Callum listen to reason? Last seen in March 2024, it was recently reported that actor Max Bowden is set to reprise his role as Ben for a guest stint ahead of a potential full-time return.

Callum and Jake Robinson: Judge angry as case over Perth brothers killed on surf trip in Mexico delayed again
A fed-up judge in the looming trial of the accused killers of Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson has threatened to fine defence lawyers if the case is delayed again. Judge Oscar Padilla was visibly frustrated in granting another extension in a court in the Baja California beach city of Ensenada in Mexico , with lawyers posing possible plea deals. He told them it would be the last delay in the case and warned they would be fined if they were not prepared for the next hearing, set for November 13. Jesus Gerardo, Irineo Francisco and Angel Jesus face charges including aggravated homicide, aggravated robbery, violent robbery and grand theft auto linked to the deaths of the Robinson brothers and their American companion Carter Rhoad. A fourth suspect, Ari Gisel, is not accused of murder but is facing charges related to inciting violent robbery. It was her lawyer who asked for the delay, arguing they needed more time to discuss sentencing options with the prosecution. None of the four accused have entered pleas. Judge Padilla again showed his frustration when prosecutors could not agree on the facts of the case. He warned them that he expected better clarity at the next hearing. According to the ABC, court documents presented during proceedings highlighted links between some of the accused and the Sinaloa drug cartel. The organisation rules with fear and was once headed by cartel boss El Chapo. Gerardo and Francisco have been moved to a maximum-security facility amid rising concern over their alleged ties to organised crime. Callum, 32, and Jake, 31, were on surfing holiday and had been camping in a remote part of northern Mexico with their American friend Mr Rhoad, 30, when they were each shot in the head in April 2024. Their bodies were then callously dumped in a 15m well in Baja California. A fourth, unrelated body was also found in the same location.

Accused killers of Australian brothers on Mexico surf trip seek plea deal
Three of the four people charged over the killing of Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad in a robbery that turned deadly are seeking to strike a deal with Mexican prosecutors and avoid trial. A second court hearing into the men's deaths was held in Ensenada, in Baja California, on Friday afternoon (Saturday morning AEST). The Robinson brothers, from Perth's northern suburbs, were killed while on a surf trip to the Baja California peninsula in April last year. They were travelling with Rhoad, from San Diego, in a Chevrolet Colorado pick-up to their Punta San Jose campsite on the region's coastline. Prosecutors believe the trio was targeted by criminals looking to steal their car's tyres, and were killed when they resisted. Four people have been charged in relation to their deaths. During the hearing on Friday, lawyers for one of the accused – 24-year-old woman Ari Giselle, who has been charged with drug possession and possession of robbed articles in relation to the men's deaths – indicated to the judge that she was seeking a plea deal. That prompted the same request from two of the other accused, Angel Jesus and Irineo Francisco. They both face more serious charges – aggravated homicide, aggravated robbery, violent robbery, grand theft auto and forced disappearance.
