Today’s EastEnders finally sees Tim Walton get his comeuppance when Max takes matters into his own hands. But while fans are thrilled to see the back of Tim, they’ve all spotted something wrong with his exit.
Linda and Johnny fall out
Linda is terrified that Max is only going to make matters with Tim worse after she spots him driving out of the Square, pretending to be Tim’s taxi driver.
She finds Johnny and tells him what has happened, but when Callum overhears them shouting, he demands to know what is going on.
Johnny tries to cover their panic by lying that Max is giving Tim a lift somewhere. But Callum knows he is covering something and threatens to call his friends at the station unless someone tells him what is going on.
With nowhere to hide. Johnny confesses that he slept with Tim, and Callum is devastated. Claiming he is just as bad as Ben, he storms off, yelling at Johnny that their relationship is over.
Johnny turns on Linda, telling her this is all her fault and that she has finally succeeded in breaking them up.
Callum discovers the truth about Tim in EastEnders
Later, Johnny tracks Callum down at home and tells him he needs to know the full story.
While Callum doesn’t want to know the details, Johnny explains it isn’t as simple as him cheating and tells him he did it to protect Callum and Lexi. At first, Callum doesn’t want to hear it. But when Johnny admits he had no choice and was blackmailed, Callum is horrified.
Callum tells Johnny that what Tim did was sexual coercion and he needs to be reported to the police. Johnny doesn’t want to tell anyone else, but promises Callum it meant nothing and he had no choice.
Callum softens towards Johnny, realising what he has been through. He feels guilty that Johnny was put in such an awful position, and eventually the two make up.
EastEnders fans have all spotted the same errors
But while fans are thrilled to see Max get revenge on Tim, they are all annoyed that the scenes were too short. Viewers took to social media to point out the error…
“Max torturing Tim did not go on for long enough at all!” joked one fan on Reddit. Another agreed: “Love Max pouring ‘petrol’ over the boot, Tim deserved that. We needed more!”
While other fans were convinced that this isn’t the last we have seen of Tim. “No way is Tim going to just disappear,” said one fan on X. While another agreed: “For all we know, Max may have just scared Tim off and made the situation worse down the line!”
Some fans also think Tim could come back for revenge later in the year. Others think he could even be the mystery gunman in the flashforward episode. Only time will tell!
