What happened to Tom and Johnny?

Don't you just hate it when they hinting a romace between someone and then just... nothing!? Whatever happened to the romance we were going to get between Tom Pepper (Tristam Summers) and Johnny Carter (Ted Reilly)? Well, I don't think it's ever going to happen! So why are you doing a thing of it then? Why Eastenders? Just don't get it...

Timothy Boldt & Lukas Sauer.

It reminds me of all the big fuzz they made about Ringo and Aaron in Unter Uns. It was promoted as they greatest summer romance ever or something and they hade sex twice! Or something... Ringo had a small crush I think but there was no more. And we all felt very deceived. Just rubbish!

Aaron Sidwell as Steven Beale.

Well, we have our hopes on Steven Beale. He is back and he has already had some glimpses on Johnny. But he also brought back a girlfriend! Let's take it from the beginning. Steven Beale is the stepson of Ian Beale and he first showed up in 1989. He has not been a goody goody for sure and when he came back it seems like everybody hated him. Including Christian Clarke (John Partridge) who was back for a couple of episodes (yay!) who apparently Steven kissed back in the days. I guess I have to see Christians early days to really get the character of Steven Beale. No one really knows if he's really gay, but at least he's bisexual. The boring Lauren broke up with him and I hope he won't take her back so he's available for Johnny! I like Steven. He's an interesting character. I hope THAT will be the summer romance of this year! I think he and Johnny would be cute together.

Romance for Johnny

There's actually some more good news. Maybe Eastenders want to compensate us for the awful news about Paul Coker and Pen?

Tristam Summers.

That's Tristam Summers who is stated to be a new love interest for Johnny. He is so cute! I am so looking forward to Tom Pepper to come along! It seems thatg he will arrive already next week! I do hope he will stay for a while.  And I also have to say that I do enjoy Ted Reilly as the new Johnny Carter. Soon we won't really remember Sam Strike anymore. But that's his loss.

Reunion

Danny Miller & Ryan Hawley.

Well, I don't mind if they do! It's about time! It's just so much misery in the Robron storyline right now. I really think Aaron deserves to be happy! Have we ever seen a gay gay Aaron in Emmerdale? There's always something tormenting him. So I am looking forward to some snogging next week!

Ted Reilly as Johnny Carter.

And also, we've seen the first glimpse of the new Johnny Carter in Eastenders! About two seconds in last nights episode. Not enough to get an opinion. To be continued about that.

Here's Johnny!

Ted Reilly as Johnny Carter.

So, this is going to be the new Johnny Carter. I think he's cute! I've seen him in both Suspects and Grantchester before. It's not stated when Johnny is going to return to Walford but let's hope that Eastender has something good in mind this character. That does not include Ben Mitchell or Paul Coker. Please.
