Ted Reilly (born 14 September 1991) is a British actor,[1] who is the second actor who played the role of Johnny Carter in EastEnders from 2016 to 2018, because the original actor chose not to return, and the show's producers recast the role.[2][3][4] Before that, however, he appeared in popular television programmes, including Casualty, Law & Order: UK, Grantchester and Call the Midwife. Reilly quit EastEnders in December 2017, and his final scenes aired on 29 January 2018.
