It's Callum's turn this week for some cameos, alongside his scene with Frankie. In Tuesday's episode, Callum's in Market Bystander mode as he and Whitney follow the noise of Alfie trying to raffle off his boat. They both look bemused at the hard sell, and laugh when Alfie responds to Felix about parking his chopper… Continue reading 20th & 22nd September, smashing it

Episode recaps and thoughts.
14th September, mocktail (and the week ahead)
Wednesday gave us a few more Ben moments, including a sweet interaction with Lexi. Picking up from the previous episode once more, Ben's still standing at the top of the church with his dad as they wait for Kat to show up. He fires a sarcastic remark at Sam when she suggests calling Kat again… Continue reading 14th September, mocktail (and the week ahead)
13th September, follow him
Last night's episode was a Jonny O'Neill episode, and I have to say that the one liners were very entertaining - even Ben got a few! It picks up where we left off, with Tommy giving Phil and Ben the news that the twins have contacted Alfie and asked him to come back (because Phil… Continue reading 13th September, follow him
12th September, best boy
Last night was a build up episode to the wedding of the year (if it even happens), which included some glimpses of Ben giving us a few tidbits of interesting information. To start the wedding day proceedings, Ben pulls Phil away from his bride to be and, along with Tommy, accompany him down Bridge Street… Continue reading 12th September, best boy
9th September, little boy (and the week ahead)
We had less than ten seconds of Ben in Friday's episode as he approached the bar and told Linda that he didn't believe Billy was a murderer because if he was, Ben would know about it no matter how long ago it was. I assume that's a reference to his belief that the Mitchells don't… Continue reading 9th September, little boy (and the week ahead)
6th and 7th September, the business
A couple of Ben cameos this week, and we have to wait a little bit longer for Thursday's episode due to some real world news. Tuesday's episode gave us a little Ben scene - and in his pants, no less. It seems to be the day for trying on the wedding gear for Phil and… Continue reading 6th and 7th September, the business
25th August, don’t lose hope
Well, how about that? Stuart and Rainie got their happy ever after, and while Callum played his part in seeing that through, Stuart repaid the favour by pulling a few strings of his own. Stuart winds up in the cafe after a difficult morning trying to get his job back. He's joined by Callum and… Continue reading 25th August, don’t lose hope
24th August, chemical imbalance
Rainie's back for Stuart! And Ballum parallels everywhere - even if we thought we were just imagining them, Callum even pointed them out himself. After Stuart's arrest the episode before for holding the GP surgery hostage, we open to Rainie stress-vaping in the flat waiting for him to return. She rushes towards the door when… Continue reading 24th August, chemical imbalance
22nd August, sit with me
We had a couple of short Ballum scenes in this episode, but those scenes said a lot even if Ballum themselves didn’t. After we learn from Vi that Callum’s had a face like a wet kipper all weekend, we see him in the cafe with his face looking just like that. No doubt he’s gutted… Continue reading 22nd August, sit with me
18th August, out of chances
Don't touch me! What an incredibly bittersweet episode. And a Ballum duff duff, but at what cost? We open the episode with Ben back at the Beale house, sitting at the table and clutching his jacket as he stares into space. He looks so small and vulnerable. He cuts off an incoming call from his… Continue reading 18th August, out of chances
