EastEnders fans were devastated when it seemed like things were over for Ben and Callum after Callum announced he wanted to join the police.
But the couple eventually remained together after Ben promised to turn a new leaf and leave his criminal past behind him.
The pair then faced a fresh hurdle when Ben was left with profound hearing loss in both ears after emerging from the River Thames during the boat disaster.
Callum vowed to be there for him and support him but has been growing increasingly frustrated with Ben’s erratic behaviour in the wake of the crash.
Callum was devastated when Ben ended up going on a mad rampage after a disastrous meeting with Danny Hardcastle.
Danny arrived with a business proposition for the Ben but when he twigged that he was deaf, and that Callum wanted to join the police, he threatened the pair.
Ben then slunk off to the pub and ended up drinking with a random man before stealing his car and getting arrested.
Next week’s episodes of EastEnders will see the day of Ben’s criminal operation with Phil arrive.
But the upcoming scenes will see Phil get frustrated when Ben can’t hear as he tries to explain the plan for the robbery.
When Ben brandishes a gun that he’s bought especially for the job, Phil panics and tells him he’s not up to the task.
A devastated Ben then takes his frustration out on Lola after spotting her sitting with Peter and putting two and two together about their affair.
When Jay steps in and tells him to stop upsetting Lola, he adds that Lola aborted her baby because of Ben.
Ben is distraught and drags Lola out of the salon, forcing her to admit that she slept with Peter.
Meanwhile, unaware that Ben is out on a rampage, Callum confides in Sharon about his relationship with her son-in-law.
In scenes yet to air, he asks her for advice about dating a Mitchell but he’s irritated when she tells him it’s best to turn a blind eye to their dodgy operations.
Will Callum discover Ben and Phil’s robbery?
If so, will he give Ben another chance or will this be the final straw for the couple?
