The angst continued to simmer on Tuesday night, as Ben gets news he didn't want to hear, and feels the need to prove to himself he can continue as normal - ironically, by doing something he ordinarily wouldn't. And Callum's still trying to be supportive, despite Ben pushing back. Screencaps for this episode can be… Continue reading 17th March, complications

The week ahead (week 10)
Hi guys - another week is ahead of us, and not much spoiler-wise at all, really. We've either got stuff that's embargoed, or it's a bit of a lull before it all kicks off in week 11. Mon 9th March - Matthew HurtNo Ballum spoilersTues 10th March - Jeff PoveyNo Ballum spoilersThurs 12th March Part… Continue reading The week ahead (week 10)
The week ahead (week 5)
Long time no write! It's been a few days now without Ballum - a definite record for Max's Ben. There's no sign of them in this week's spoilers either, but I thought I'd give this week a write up anyway on the off chance they'll appear in someone else's story. Mon 3rd February - Rebecca WojciechowskiNo… Continue reading The week ahead (week 5)
The week ahead (week 4)
After a big Ballum week for us (well, half a week!), it stands to reason, really, that we'd have a bit of a quiet spell before it kicks off again in a few weeks. Mon 27th January - Daran LittleShirley interrupts Ian Beale's election celebration to reveal that Phil has taken Dennis away from the… Continue reading The week ahead (week 4)
12th and 14th November, background Ballum
Hi guys! So as you know this week was Mel's exit week, and set during Louise and Sharon's joint party - and as a Mitchell, Ben was there; but only as an extra, basically. As a result, there was so little to write about that I just combined the Tuesday ep recap with this one.… Continue reading 12th and 14th November, background Ballum
31st October, CSI nerd squads
I'm gonna say it: we were robbed of seeing Ballum in matching outfits for the costume party. Instead we got Ben eating alone and quite a few Callum mentions as Gray grew suspicious of Leo's intentions behind unearthing that video. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Sharon quizzes Ben about what he told… Continue reading 31st October, CSI nerd squads
7th October, car problems
Last night's ep saw Ben scrambling around to try and get the Panesar brothers off his back, while also showing his softer side as well, a nice reminder that he's a character with layers and motivations, and not just a monster who steals cars for money. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. It's… Continue reading 7th October, car problems
The week ahead (week 41)
Another week of EE is upon us - and yes, I am aware a fair few of us have already seen the week of episodes thanks to a leak, but I'm going to spoil as little as I can. So here's a summary: Monday 7th Oct - Rebecca WojciechowskiBen spots that Martin is back on… Continue reading The week ahead (week 41)
8th August, just dive right in
Happy Friday guys! Last night we were treated to both Ben and Callum - not in the same scene unfortunately. But we did get one small Ballum moment, perhaps to prepare us for when they actually interact again. Ben spends pretty much his whole time in this episode annoying Louise and Sharon. The literal second… Continue reading 8th August, just dive right in
Welcome to the Ballum trashcan!
Hey guys! I'm an avid Eastenders viewer who has fallen in love with two characters in particular: Ben Mitchell and Callum Highway. The last time a couple gripped me this hard was Christian and Syed. Back then, I made a wordpress to host all my little obsessive list-making and it helped serve as a guide… Continue reading Welcome to the Ballum trashcan!
