Page "Johnny Allen (EastEnders)" Paragraph 5

When Johnny first arrived in Albert Square, it was quickly established that Johnny had heard of the Mitchell name ; in fact, he even felt somewhat sorry for an unemployed, homeless, sad Billy Mitchell.

In fact, it can be assumed that Billy was very similar to Eric Mitchell.

Whilst Eric took his torment out on his family, Billy had previously done so too with Jamie.

As Johnny had retired from the gangster world, perhaps he had realised his wrongs of the past.

In early 2005, when Phil made a return to the Square whilst being on the run, Billy had begged Johnny for money to give to Phil.

Johnny did so, but made it clear that he didn't want the likes of Phil on his doorstep.

Though Johnny appears to still hate the Mitchell family, he has stated that the only reason he put in an offer for The Queen Vic, for a mystery third-party buyer, was because he hated the Mitchells.

This was fuelled even more by a desperate Peggy.
