Caleb Malone is a fictional character and major antagonist of the British soap opera EastEnders. He appeared as a supporting antagonist in 2021.

In his storyline, Caleb is a drug trafficker who was formerly the ex-boyfriend of established character Chelsea Fox - whom he ends up terrorizing along with her family in a bid to try and force Chelsea to get involved in his drug dealing activities. This involved kidnapping Chelsea's mother Denise to secure her corporation and then coming into conflict with her villainous father Lucas Johnson, but in the end Caleb gets arrested and jailed for his crimes.

The character was portrayed by Ben Freeman, who also played Scott Windsor in Emmerdale.

History[]

Caleb Malone first came to Albert Square in Walford, a fictional borough in East London, on January 2021. It quickly emerges that he is somewhat acquainted with local resident Chelsea Fox when she recognizes him. It soon turns out that they had a relationship until Chelsea witnessed Caleb committing a murder, after which she found out that he was a notorious drug dealer who proceeded to force her to get involved in his criminal activities.

Having turned up in the square since Christmas 2021, Chelsea attempts to hide the truth about Caleb from her mother Denise by claiming to want a reconcilation with her own father Lucas Johnson - also Denise's former husband. She succeeds in putting Denise off from finding out about Caleb due to her own reservations against Lucas; while the pair were married, Lucas kidnapped Denise and faked her death after she found out that he killed their ex-spouses Trina Johnson and Owen Turner along with their pet dog Sugar and another woman altogether. At one point, Lucas gets attacked by thugs just as he and Chelsea are out celebrating New Year's Eve. Denise eventually suspects that the square's local hardman, Phil Mitchell, is responsible since the duo are having a custody battle for their son Raymond Dawkins.

However, Denise soon learns the truth when it becomes clear to Chelsea that it was actually Caleb who is responsible for Lucas' attack. Caleb soon attempts to assert his control over Chelsea and later begins harrasing her for debts, as Chelsea had recently owed money to Caleb and has not yet repaid him for it. When Chelsea is unable to meet her dealine payment, Caleb abducts Denise and holds her captive to make his threats clear. He also threatens her family, which in doing so further implicates Lucas as the perpetuator when the residents believe that he is out to get revenge on Denise and their family.

Soon Chelsea plans to use Lucas as a drug carrier in order to escape Caleb's torment as well as get her own revenge on her father for his past crimes, which had effectively broken their family apart as a result. Lucas soon discovers the plan and initially refuses to get involved. Afterwards, Chelsea decides to entrap Caleb into making a confession for his crimes. This works successfully and Chelsea manages to report Caleb to the police. He later confronts Chelsea and attacks her, but is then arrested by the police before he could escape.

Later on, Lucas has a change of heart and ends up getting himself arrested to spare Chelsea from jailtime. This earns him redemption from his family and he even makes peace with Denise's new husband Jack Branning, a policeman who had recently found out about Caleb's criminal activities.
