Somebody on the main forum made the good point that this could take place on London Pride day which is 28th June. Would be quite cool if that was the case.

Really excited to see how this pans out!

28th June is a Saturday I believe - so it'll probably be the Friday 27th June or Monday 30th June if we're going with that. Maybe theres a big do so Tosh and Tina take Johnny under their wing and 'head out west'. If it is a Friday episode it brings more scope for a big doof-doof.

And me too!

Oo so Linda is there as well! Is she there to support Johnny or to try to persuade him back to Walford though? Cue the inevitable fallout? Or she gonna help Johnny find a boyfriend in a surprise twist?

And this confirms the London Pride thing.

And Johnny looking good as always.

Hopefully Linda is supportive, that would brighten Johnny's mode no doubt.

And yeah I agree with you, he is really good looking! Really want to meet him sometime

Yeah hopefully. Would be a very satisfying moment (for both him and the audience) for her fully accepting her son's sexuality and aiding him onto the gay pride thing.

He is absolutely stunning. One can dream.

Brilliant, thanks for posting that! He looks so cute, especially in that first picture.

And very interesting to see Linda there. This definitely has the potential to be a really heartwarming episode if they do it right.

I want to see Mick in a gay bar as well.

Looks like a good episode coming up. Hopefully it gives some closure and Linda starts to back him up and support him.

It seems quite a few of us on here very much fancy him (myself included ), it bemuses me that he hasn't got a lot of confidence in himself given how beautiful he is, both looks and personality wise as Johnny and in real life. I kinda hope he meets someone nice in real life too soon, that person would be very lucky to have him.

I feel a bit guilty fancying him as I'm old enough to know better, but he's a very beautiful young man.

I noticed on Twitter that there's a desperate girl on there that keeps on about wanting to send him nudes, and did actually publically send him one yesterday. She also asked Danny Dyer and James Forde (who plays Liam) to let him know what she was doing, and James then tweeted Sam to 'check his DMs' so must have sent him a message about it. I hope that Sam isn't naïve enough to respond in any way. It just made me feel a bit worried for him as so many of the young EE actors seem to go off the rails at some point and I would hate for him to get suspended for doing anything stupid. I'm sure he wouldn't, btw, it's just that there must be all sorts of people out there who would try to take advantage in some way. And I'm quite cross with James for being so obvious about it. He seems very immature.

I too would like him to meet someone nice in real life. I said it a few pages back but I actually think him and Maddy Hill would be lovely together. She really seems to 'get' him and I get the impression that he has a bit of a crush on her. But she probably just sees him like a little brother. Still, it would be really sweet.

He's only a few months older than me I think! Don't feel bad about it lool, he's simply a very dreamy guy - I know if I lived in the world of Eastenders and I saw Johnny at a bar or whatever I'd be the one approaching him. Everyone seems to assume Johnny would be the one approaching someone, but in reality people would be going up to him!

That's just weird. Why would people do that? I don't think he'd know how to react tbh. Hopefully he stays 'on the rails' and ignores it, theres compliments and theres plain weird. James is probably a bit naive to the whole thing - though he shouldn't really encourage it, so I'm with you on that one. I couldn't imagine Sam getting suspended, he doesn't seem like that sort of guy.

Sam and Maddy seem to have great chemistry, though I think its more platonic. They do seem to 'get' each other I guess, and that comes across onscreen as well.

I couldn't imagine Johnny being the one to do the chasing in a relationship, he seems too shy for that. Any potential boyfriend is going to have to be the confident one.

The Twitter thing is just embarrassing. I'm just hoping he doesn't suddenly start following her as then we'll know that he wants to see more. But I don't think I'm giving him enough credit, and like you I don't think he'd ever get suspended. He seems very grounded and I get the impression that all the Carter actors look out for each other. As Sam is so much shyer than the rest of them then I could imagine they are a bit more protective of him and will try to help him with the downfalls of being a young good looking actor in a bit of a ruthless industry!

I'm sure nothing would happen between him and Maddy but I do think they'd be lovely together.

Johnny is specifically mentioned in the brief spoilers for W/C 16th June:

Spoiler
Monday 16th June 2014
An event at The Albert takes a turn for the worse for Sharon and Johnny.

Thursday 19th June 2014
Johnny is left humiliated by Linda’s actions.


Which means...

Spoiler
This is the week when Sharon is attacked.


I wonder what the second one with Linda is about?

Oh good, should be a good week for Johnny then (and Sharon). Hopefully not another tiff over Johnny's sexuality, but probably the likely case over the Linda thing. Maybe its to do with Linda's frenemyship with Sharon.

Spoiler
I think Ben will be suspected of the attack which might be how he eventually returns. But I'm not too sure at the moment. It's hard to tell as we've got no clear indication of when Ben is coming back into the show.

Spoiler
I think it will be to do with Johnny's sexuality. Maybe some guy is flirting with him and Linda completely overreacts? I expect this is all leading up to Linda coming to the gay bar (which will happen quite soon after this episode if it fits in with Pride) and finally supporting Johnny. So I fully expect this spoiler to be the start of it.

Johnny is in the updated spoilers for next week - having a business proposal for Sharon. Probably to do with that fateful theme night at the Albert on the following Monday ep would be my guess. Think theres one or two promo pics of him from his eps late next week looking cute as always.

Also don't miss him in tonight's (Tues) ep! His only ep this week I think.

thanks for bringing the new spoiler tidbits over here concerning our guy I've been sick these past few days, so I've been re-watching some old Johnny episodes. I really like his scenes with Sharon, and the scene in the cafe after he got found out for throwing a little party in The Albert is definitely one of the best!

I look forward to see the upcoming SL, but I just hate that Sharon is being attacked - but I'm also looking forward to seeing how Johnny will react to the whole ordeal

fantastic to see new 'faces' around here! welcome!

Yes it looks like Friday's episode with those two big security guys arriving is the actual cocktail making night that Johnny suggests. Which probably means that Monday's episode follows straight on.

I love that picture of him, he looks terrified!

I'm looking forward to tonight's episode. Johnny in his red suspenders.

I absolutely love the suspenders. Definitely my favourite Johnny outfit.

Pictures tonight in case people need a reminder of how good he looks in them:

Hipster Clark Kent glasses are definitely very Shorditchian which The Albert is supposed to be... so maybe you'll get your wish.

Yeah I do love those scenes W/C 30th March where he broke into the Albert (albeit very conscientiously) and then got found out and scared of Phil - and then had a heart-to-heart with Sharon - it was a nice week for him. Oh and Whitney trying to kiss him as well - not that I blame her, I probably would have done the same in her situation.

Johnny does look cute when terrified, you kinda just wanna give him a big hug and protect him from whatever he's terrified of.

Johnny does wear suspenders very well; I even bought some myself recently because he wears them! Yet to wear them with an outfit yet though

The Clark Kent glasses would look good on him - that said they'd detract people'a attention away from what I see as his most attractive feature looks wise - his eyes. He has stunningly gorgeous gorgeous eyes. There's always a twinkle in them. And he says more with his eyes than what he actually says sometimes.

The All About Soap Spoilers for the week after next give more information about what happens with Johnny and Sharon:

Spoiler
All About Soap Spoilers

Monday 16th June 2014
There's terror at The Albert when Sharon is attacked and left for dead - with Johnny hiding upstairs! Will Ms Rickman survive? Plus, Ian and Masood patch up their differences, as Phil demands answers from Shirley.

Tuesday 17th June 2014
A petrified Johnny finds an unconscious Sharon and calls an ambulance. As Phil races to the hospital, Mick and Shirley provide emotional support. Also, Ian tells Denise he wants to set a date for their wedding...

Thursday 19th June 2014
Shirley makes a big confession to Phil - but how will he respond? Across the Square, Peter's angry with Les, and Denise is pleased when Ian bonds with baby Lexi. Meanwhile, Linda urges Johnny not to reveal the truth...

Friday 20th June 2014
The Carters help Dean settle in at his new Salon, Ian and Denise try to be spontaneous and Johnny visits Sharon in hospital. Elsewhere, Shirley desperately tries to talk to Phil following her declaration - what will he say?



This makes it seem like Johnny knows the attack is happening... or maybe doesn't realise that Sharon is being attacked but knows that The Albert has been broken into?

I wonder how the Thursday spoiler about Johnny and Linda fits in with the one about him being humiliated by her?

Can't believe I'm away on holiday this week, sounds like Johnny is going to be a main character.

They're wording it as if Johnny does a 'Billy' like when Jase died. I thought Johnny would innocently be upstairs and then come down and find an unconscious Sharon - or as you say, know the attacker is there in some form. Poor old Johnny is probably scared half to death and doesn't know what to do. By the sounds of it maybe Linda views Johnny negatively from this and feels he could have protected Sharon more in this, as the other Carter siblings would probably have jumped to her defence in his situation. Whether he knows Sharon herself is being attacked or not is unclear though. Maybe another heart-to-heart scene between Johnny and Sharon in the Friday episode?

Spoiler
That's what I figured would happen. Him possibly hearing the attack does open up more storyline potential in the sense that he may hear a vital clue to who the attacker is, but to be honest I'm not too happy with it being written this way as I think he'll get a lot of the blame. The reality may be that he simply 'freezes' and is too scared to do anything.

If he does hear it then I expect the Friday episode will be him apologising to Sharon, or breaking down at her bedside.

The Linda stuff is quite intriguing; if she 'humiliates' him then this would suggest that she herself reveals that maybe he did something cowardly but she's the one urging him not to say anything. Unless someone overhears them, maybe?



Agh I'm desperate to know how this is going to play out!
