I saw this post on DS and i thought it was spot on about Callum. Thoughs?

Here is my (totally unprofessional) take on Callum based on a few people's observations and mine on some earlier threads.

Now this is potentially a stretch, but indulge me in my moment of being Dan. He keeps repeating things over and over "soar, Charlie Travers!" and "ask me how I'm feeling" and "I'm doing my bit, Sam" and he is fixated on Dexter as an evil nemesis. I started thinking he might be losing his touch with reality a bit this week, possibly schizophrenic?

On part of the LF last night, when Charlie told Sam that Callum's take on Sam's crowd reaction was inaccurate he bizarrely tried to make it Dexter's fault that Charlie had made him look bad in front of Sam. He has a need to see Charlie and Sam as good and pure, and he must be their hero. I read he even saw Hazel upset about Dan and thought he could help her out too. If he's not schizophrenic (and if he is I do feel sorry for him) then he certainly seems to have a savior complex (or both).

On top of the stuff in the house, he has stories of saving 19 lives in 4 years as a lifeguard as well as another 9 outside of that. On his BBspy bio he mentions how coaching kids gets him lots of praise from parents which he enjoys, and saving lives makes him a hero which he also enjoys.

Someone on here astutely mentioned his rant about batman and superman, indicating he sees Dexter as a supervillain and himself as a superhero.

Now I've even defended Callum in the past for being so compassionate toward Sam's frustrations, but I think we're all feeling a bit confused about his behaviour lately?

Anyway, he might just be a socially awkward try-hard David Brent who lied on his VT and I might be overthinking it but I'd love to hear others' thoughts.
