Halfway to return to Albert Square

EastEnders fans haven’t seen the last of Callum ‘Halfway’ Highway as actor Tony Clay returns to filming with the BBC saga.

“I’m really happy and excited to be back on EastEnders and working with such a brilliant cast and crew,” notes Tony Clay whose hapless alter-ego will be back on screen in the coming weeks.

Halfway was first seen in January as part of the New Year’s Day heist which saw him accidentally shoot Mick Carter.

As coincidence would have it, Mick and Linda recognised Halfway as an old friend of their son Lee’s, and despite the bullet he had inadvertently put in Mick’s arm, they offered him a roof over his head. Halfway later got the Carters out of a spot of bother when he donated a ring he had pocketed during the heist to save the Vic.

During his time in The Vic, Halfway fell for Whitney and despite her reservations, she soon realised her mutual feelings.

With Halfway called back to duty by the army, the couple have kept in touch via webcam chats, but what does Halfway’s return mean for their future? Halfway is due back on screen later this spring, the beeb say.

“Halfway is such a lovely role to play and I’m really looking forward to exploring his story further and seeing where it takes us.” – Tony Clay
