EastEnders’ Lexi’s existence has never been straightforward. Her father, Ben, is fighting his inner struggles, and the unexpected departure of Jay is making everything around her feel less solid. Slowly, one by one, the issues are surfacing, and now, if you put Callum’s disloyalty alongside them, it’s not unjust to suspect that the audience could be wondering if Lexi would fall into a deeper darkness like Janine Butcher or Abi Branning.

Lexi Mitchell Faces Tensions With Callum and Johnny
Lexi Mitchell’s life has not been less than a drama in the last few weeks. She very recently learnt that Callum Highway had cheated on her father, Ben Mitchell. Callum had an extramarital affair with Johnny Carter while Ben was in prison. However, Lexi was not happy with their relationship as she felt betrayed.
She was angry at Callum for hiding this secret from her. However, Lexi then decided to do a prank on Johnny. The message had caused Johnny trouble at work. Her family treats her like a kid, which frustrates her. Lexi’s confidence is starting to show.
And fans believe that her notorious nature is quite similar to former characters like Janine Butcher and Abi Branning. Some say that she has had a turbulent upbringing, and might push her into doing wrong things. She has a sharp mind and is capable enough to rip relationships.
Fans Debate Lexi’s Potential For Villainy In EastEnders
Fans have been talking on Reddit about what could be Lexi’s next steps. Some feel that her mischievous behaviour looks like a villain’s traits. One fan said, “I’m genuinely waiting for her to try and poison Johnny.” While another said, “Taking after her ex-gran in-law Sharon when she tried to poison Ian.” Fans also spoke about her daring attitude. One fan said,” Dotty Jr.”
However, despite Lexi’s recent actions, some fans hope she will not take an evil path. “I really don’t want to see Lexi become evil. Not all characters have to be messes,” one said. Another fan added, “ Yes, Lexi had had a lot of trauma in the last couple of years, but before that, she had a loving mum. It will probably be normal for her to go through a rebellious phase, but I would hate it if she turned out evil, shitting on Lola’s memory.”
Some fans also pointed out that she has that Mitchell bloodline influence. “She’s the progeny of the vile Ben Mitchell. I wouldn’t expect anything less, “ said one. Another said, “Well, she’s a double Mitchell, really, so the odds are high. Elsewhere, some want Lexi to resist becoming a villain. One user wrote, “ Not sure she would be a good villain, you could win her over with a hot chocolate.”
Another said, “ I hope not, I’m sick of EE kids becoming evil just because of their parents.” Could all that loss turn her into the next big troublemaker in Walford? For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
