EastEnders fans were left distracted during Tuesday’s episode of the BBC soap as they realised Jonno Highway star Richard Graham appeared in a legendary movie\"EastEnders\"Jonno Highway made an unwelcome return to Walford(Image: BBC\/Jack Barns\/Kieron McCarron)<\/p>\n

EastEnders’ Callum Highway, portrayed by Tony Clay, had a surprise reunion with his estranged father, Jonno, in Tuesday’s episode (9th September) of the BBC<\/a> soap.<\/p>\n

Jonno (Richard Graham) was last seen on the Square<\/a> five years ago. He disowned Callum after he came out as gay and announced his relationship with future husband, Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jonno’s harsh treatment of his son didn’t sit well with the Mitchells, leading to a protective Phil (Steve McFadden) punching him and forcing him to leave Walford.<\/p>\n

However, the father-son duo crossed paths again during the latest visit to the Square when Jonno was caught mistreating Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) at The Albert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Callum found himself having to arrest his own father for causing trouble, but struggled to accept the truth about his dad’s abusive behaviour towards women, reports Plymouth Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In upcoming episodes, Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) provides Jonno with legal advice and is given the task of determining his innocence.<\/p>\n

Johnny later informs Callum that he had a meaningful conversation with his father and reveals that Jonno genuinely wishes to reconcile with him.<\/p>\n

Seemingly turning over a new leaf, Jonno expresses his desire to mend fences with Callum, but tragedy looms for the Highway family.<\/p>\n

Despite the drama surrounding Jonno’s return to Walford, some EastEnders<\/a> fans were distracted upon realising that star Richard Graham had previously starred in the iconic film Titanic.<\/p>\n

The actor is known for his role as Quartermaster George T Rowe in the 1997 blockbuster, which also featured Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.<\/p>\n

One fan took to social media, expressing their surprise: “Not me only NOW spotting Jonno Highway as *that* Quartermaster on #Titanic on #Channel4 #Ballum.”<\/p>\n

Another user noted: “He was on My Family and Titanic”, while a third chimed in: “He’s the bloke from Titanic.”<\/p>\n

One viewer humorously added: “He can smell ice, you know #EastEnders.”<\/p>\n

Another shared their experience: “I watched Titanic again shortly after first watching EE during the Jonno episodes. When I saw that guy, I said ‘woah’ and immediately googled the actor LOL!”<\/p>\n
