Evening all! I was a bit concerned we’d have nothing to talk about in terms of spoilers for the week ahead – luckily a last minute article confirmed that we should be seeing Ben at least next week.
Mon 15th Feb – Pete Lawson
Ben is none too pleased to find out that his father has invited Sharon to dine with him at Walford East for the evening. When both Ben and Kathy accuse Phil of falling under Sharon’s spell again, he demands they stay out of his love life.
Max makes a plan and searches Jack’s house, where he finds a USB stick.
Tues 16th Feb – Lynne Dallow
Max confronts Phil with the USB stick. Phil is shocked to see how much evidence against him is on the stick, especially when Max points out how long he’d get in prison if it all came to light.
Thurs 18th Feb – Simon Ashdown
Max piles more pressure on Phil by vowing to hand over the evidence he has to the police. Phil realises that he’ll have to come clean with Sharon about Max’s threats, so he tells her that Max has enough evidence to get him sent to prison for a long time.
Fri 19th Feb – Simon Ashdown
No Ballum spoilers
So, as you can see, we have a little bit of Ben on Monday – although it’s focused more on Phil and his date with Sharon, which Ben doesn’t exactly approve of. However, it’s a Pete Lawson penned up so I’m hopeful we’ll get some classic Ben sass at the very least!
I’ve included some of the Phil/Jack/Max stuff for the rest of the week as that USB stick of evidence against Phil is mentioned – I’m doubtful this means Callum will have any involvement in this (and I’m absolutely fine with that if we’re being honest!) but I do wonder if there’ll be any repercussions for him down the line depending on how it pans out, if Jack involves him at any point or if Phil puts any blame on him for involving Jack and allowing him to have this USB evidence – although I suppose the idea is that if Jack hadn’t taken it, Thompson would have already handed it in by now. And we still don’t know what exactly is on the USB! Is there still any evidence lying about for Callum’s assault on Danny or Ben’s warehouse escapades? Who knows!
In other news, the body doubles that were used for Ben and Callum’s proposal ep have been discovered on Instagram! I mentioned in the proposal write up how cool I found the idea of Ben and Callum becoming “real” for a few seconds in the form of a real life couple doing the kiss and handhold. And now we have confirmation that they found it really cool as well!
And finally, I’ve done yet another comparison thread. This time, it’s Ben as facemasks. Enjoy!
