Fuck Callum Highway

It really sucks to see Callum look so happy and jovial with Johnny when his daughter is forced to deal with his shitty partner forcing himself into her life, and Ben is in prison fighting suicidal ideation.

Like I genuinely don't get what they wanna do with him. At this rate do they feel if they make him into a complete asshole who's only interested in his feelings that we would even wanna watch him be Lexi's dad or Ben's husband again?

I really hope Johnny cheats on him cause if Ben Wadey thinks people will tolerate this version of Callum for so long, he's wrong. All of which could be solved if he had moments of remorse or moments where he admits he fucked up and misses Ben or even just a crying scene or two. Instead he's just this delusional cardboard cutout who gave up his husband, seems to have no feelings about it besides welcoming Johnny like he's just a casual relationship that didn't start from him cheating on his husband and betraying his family.

Like it's really way too casual and if someone doesn't bring up how fucked up it is that Callum seems to see Lexi's hatred for Johnny as just some obstacle that she'll get over and not his daughter clearly suffering from his actions I'm gonna fucking riot.

I get that the writers hate giving Callum.......anything without him being an accessory to someone else but by god. You've had Tony Clay for 7 years, give him scenes to himself where he can act without him being a supporting backboard to someone else. Show us his fucking pain. Show us why he's so desperate to keep Johnny while ignoring Lexi's pain. Do fucking something.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Callum doesn't even take Lexi to see Ben during visitors hours and just makes Kathy or Phil do it for him. For someone who had a shred of remorse and guilt that made him confess, he seems to clearly be ok with just throwing Ben away like nothing. Hell he still thinks Johnny will be here in 4 years when Ben comes out.

I need Johnny to cheat so Callum breaks up with him, runs back to Ben and has Ben slam the door in his face. We've gone nearly the entire affair and now this relationship with Callum barely having to face any consequences. Lexi isn't even pissed at him anymore. She ought to be angry at Callum too not just Johnny. It's like even she wants to rob Callum of all agency so it's easier when Ben comes back next year to take Callum back.

I do not look forward to the rest of Jollum. I wish there was a way to wean myself off. I don't wanna see them have couples costumes on Halloween or Valentines Day plans or a New Years Kiss. I wanna see them goneeeeeee. They have like 6 fans, most people who don't even like Ballum hate them cause they're boring, and they have no fucking chemistry at all. Get them off the fucking screen and put them in the background.

Ben being iconic in today's episode.

alright-fuckhead

Frankly I'm exhausted from defending my point of view about Callum. I won't agree with what's said and done. So I'll wait for Ben to come back, just so he can dot the i's and cross the t's. Then Ballum will be well and truly over for me. I hope they'll be together, but I won't be part of this adventure any more. Disappointed in every way. So I'm going to take advantage of Ben and let my hatred flow for this stupid affair and Callum's idiotic circumstances for cheating on Ben. I'm sorry, it just depresses me.

iconic (if we ignore johnny) 🔥

It's hilarious that because we don't treat Callum's cheating as just a minor mistake and want them to break up, we're not true Ballum fans. Who said I couldn't ?

Right now, my brain is shut down, with Ben gone and Callum waiting for him.

For me, the essence of Ballum is that Ben was the only one for Callum. Callum was never perfect, far from it, but Callum would fight for Ben. Callum supported Ben through all his troubles and, more than anything else, he only saw Ben. Only Ben.

Right now, every time I see Callum, I'm afraid he'll say more nasty things about Ben. He's your husband, but you criticise him instead of supporting him. He would never do that. Ben is in prison in America, far from his family and his home. He's scared in prison because before he left, he said he couldn't do it. He's been through this before and suffered. How can Callum believe that Ben could keep his head down for the rest of his life? It's a prison, not a fairy tale.

My heart aches even more when I imagine that they will never be the same again. Ballum was my refuge when I was at my lowest point. And saying all this doesn't make me happy, but I no longer see Ballum as it was in the beginning. Maybe it's me who has changed, or just how they write Callum. Cheating was the one thing that would never define Callum for me, because even when they were separated, Callum never once wanted anyone other than Ben. And I could never forgive Callum for saying that Ben could have relationships in prison when he is a victim of rape. It's the mind of a man who will do anything to explain his misconduct with Johnny. But he keeps repeating that he loves Ben.

Ballum has been through five years of ups and downs. Ben has made such an effort to trust someone, to love someone, to confide in someone when all he could do was think about fighting and causing trouble. Now that's gone, the couple can get back together, but everything that held them together is gone. The more I look, the more I see that Callum doesn't seem bothered by it, continuing with Johnny while he openly lies to Lexi and everyone else, which has become his character trait. BALLUM was my Milinda, after Linda cheated on Mick, it was a crack that could never be repaired.

Thank you for reading my boring and sad monologue. I really liked Ballum, and now I don't know what to do when I think about it.

I'm finally going to put into words how I feel, I just feel like I can't do it on X. First of all, I feel very disappointed with how Ballum turned out. For me, Callum is someone with principles, and no matter what happens, he would never betray Ben like that. The fact that Ben and Lewis kissed and how Callum behaved towards Ben shows which character is out of character.

Most people see Callum's loneliness in relation to Ben's absence, even though he has Lexi, Ben's family, and his job. And then there's Ben, who is in America, far from home, so he gets very few visitors, far from the people he loves, suffering from bulimia, still struggling with his AS, deaf and terrified of going back to prison, which he found difficult to cope with the first time around. So I can't possibly support this horrible scheme. I don't see how anything good can come out of this deception. All I see is disappointment, lies, and my disgust for the character at this point.

I obviously left Ballum when Ben (Max) left, but I heard about certain incidents. I no longer recognise the Callum who knew Ben. He always has unpleasant things to say, and that was the case even before he left, like when Callum encouraged him to go to America and then criticised him during the week he was out, or when he said that Ben was disappointing him even though he had no idea what was going on in prison, whereas Ben seemed calm. In fact, Callum's words are like a punch in the gut. Everyone can criticise him, but Callum should be an unwavering support for Ben, and I don't see that at all anymore.

I will conclude with this: the essence of Ballum is well and truly gone, and what made Ballum whole, a source of support, is no longer there. "When I sleep with someone, it has to mean something," "I'll wait for you here," or the words he said about not being in a hurry, not having sex, waiting—all of that was Callum. Now I only see another character who can't control himself. It's just bland to watch, and here's another one who, when he can't get what he wants, uses sex to get it, even though it leads nowhere. I hope some people won't be disappointed, but I've fallen from a great height after seeing the spoilers, and now I just want to not get too attached to Eastenders, which I found very hard to leave.
