Is Callum ‘Halfway’ Highway gay in EastEnders? Whitney’s boyfriend kissed Ben Mitchell in shock twist
EASTENDERS fans were left stunned last night when Callum ‘Halfway’ Highway and Ben Mitchell shared a passionate kiss after a heart-to-heart in the park.
So could this be a hot new romance on the Square? And what about Whitney? Here’s the lowdown…
Is Halfway gay in EastEnders?
He’s not actually come out, but judging by the way Callum couldn’t wait to tear Ben’s clothes if, it certainly looks that he may be that way inclined.
We’ve never seen him be like that with girlfriend Whitney.
Ben’s had Halfway sussed for a while though and worked out his secret leaving Callum scared he was going to out him.
But the two men had an deep chat with Ben confessing how he felt when his boyfriend Paul Coker was murdered in a homophobic attack two years ago.
Callum then opened up and told Ben that even though he has everything, he still feels lonely.
The two of them then locked lips, leaving no doubt in the viewers’ minds that Halfway does indeed fancy blokes, as Ben would put it.
But will Callum be able to be himself now? It’s not looking likely tbh as spoilers for next week have revealed that Callum is going to ask Whitney to marry him.
Meanwhile actor Tony Clay who plays Callum revealed to the The Sun Online that his character was going to be caught between Ben and his scary, homophobic brother, Stuart.
Which doesn’t sound like a very nice place to be at all.
Tony said: “It wouldn't be something I'd want to be in the way of! Put it that way! I think they should clear the square for that moment.
"I don't know, again, we'll have to wait and see. All it takes is one little, who will snap first, do you know what I mean?"

What does this mean for Whitney?
Sadly it looks like poor old Whitney is heading for yet another heartbreak.
She thought she’d found true happiness with Halfway after having her heart broken by bad boys such as former fiancée Woody Woodward and ex-husband Lee Carter.
She was also left devastated after falling hard for married Mick Carter. So who will be there to pick the pieces up this time?
