Johnny makes his first appearance on 26 December 2013, moving into The Queen Victoria with his mother and father. “As the family embark on their next big storyline to take them through 2016, it felt wrong not to have Johnny back to play a big part in that - and learn everything that has happened while he has been away.Johnny Carter played by Sam Strike from 2013 to 2014 and Ted Reilly from 2016 to 2018, is the son of Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). Is his happy bubble about to be burst by his family’s many secrets?ĭominic Treadwell-Collins, the show’s producer, says: “Johnny is a key member of the Carter family and he's been missing over the past year and a half, when so much has happened to the Carters. Throw in the fact that his brother, Lee (Danny-boy Hatchard) is suffering from depression, that Lee’s girlfriend Whitney (Shona McGarty) snogged his dad, and that his sister, Nancy (Maddie Hill), is enduring a series of increasingly severe epileptic fits, and you have a LOT of drama for Johnny to come home to. Which meant that he kinda missed those MAJOR Christmas Day bombshells namely, that his mum had been raped by Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), and that Shirley (Linda Henry) isn’t his auntie, but his grandma. Johnny was last seen in Walford just before Christmas 2014 when he dropped everything to follow his heart and join his boyfriend Gianluca to live in Rome.
