I don't know, it depends what happens when Abi returns, I highly doubt it's going to be as simple as Ben sitting her down, telling her he's gay then walking off into the sunset with Paul. There will be something that prevents him from telling her. Then, when he finally does tell her, we'll probably have some sort of revenge plot and a dramatic climax to Abi's growing feisty behaviour these past few years. I don't see how Johnny would come into it and I think it would be a bit ridiculous if Ben cheated on Abi to get with Paul, then cheats on Paul to get with Johnny...
