"As with anything in EastEnders, it's not smooth-sailing. I think Callum feels like it's going to be and whatever is thrown at him, he wants to be able to keep his head down because he's determined that he's not going to mess this opportunity up this time.
"So he goes into it wanting to keep his head down to do the job properly, and be the best detective he can be but there's going to be room for scandal as always."
One of Callum's first tasks involves trawling through CCTV footage of Ravi, and Clay revealed that the investigation could potentially create a rift with Jack.
