EASTENDERS has revealed a shock exit plot for villain Tim after he blackmailed Johnny Carter into sex in a sickening scheme.

The businessman – who is played by actor Tom Ratcliffe in the BBC soap – executed his vile plan this week.

Viewers watching this week have seen Tim become obsessed with lawyer Johnny and his boyfriend Callum.

Becoming twisted with jealousy he orchestrated a plot to put Callum’s job in the police on the line – by pretending it was for his ex Ben in prison.

Instead, he manipulated Callum into breaking into his own house and then used CCTV footage to blackmail him.

He told Johnny that he would destroy the tape – and continue to invest in his business – if he slept with him.

In tonight’s episode, with Callum facing losing everything, Johnny was forced to agree.

And now spoilers have revealed he will have an unexpected helper in running Tim out of Walford for good.

Next week Linda is worried for Johnny and admits to Elaine that she could have stopped Tim’s ‘test’ on Callum.

Against Elaine’s advice, Linda tells Johnny the truth, and he is furious with her for interfering.

Later, Johnny is forced to meet Tim at the office to sign the paperwork and is mortified when Linda turns up to berate Tim.

Johnny sends her away, but when Tim insists on going for a drink, things get worse as Callum arrives.

Meanwhile, Linda confides in Max, who later takes matters into his own hands by pretending to be Tim’s taxi driver.

Linda will be left frantic as she tells Johnny that Max has taken Tim, but he’s got bigger things to worry about when he’s forced to tell Callum what happened.

At first, Callum is furious, but after Johnny explains how he was trying to protect him and Lexi, he is consumed with guilt.

Meanwhile, Max’s plan for Tim unfolds and he makes clear to Tim that he should never set foot in Walford again.

But how does Max get rid of Tim and will it be the last time he is seen in Walford?
