I wasn’t expecting to see Ben or Callum at Tina’s wake on Tuesday, especially as the focus was obviously on Linda’s return and the drama around that - so it was a very nice surprise to have Ben popping up for a lovely moment with Shirley. Screencaps from this episode can be found here. We… Continue reading 5th April, to Tina

Episode recaps and thoughts.
30th March, live and learn
Bit of unexpected Ballum in Wednesday's episode, as well as an extra Ben scene that further highlighted Kat's harshness towards him as he tries to assure Tommy. Screencaps from this episode can be found here. So Bernie's gone into labour with Stuart and Rainie's baby, and when Callum spots Mitch outside the Atkins house with… Continue reading 30th March, live and learn
28th March, drag him there
Last night featured Callum and Rainie at the end of their tether as they tried to get Stuart to see that he's wasting money on treatments that don't work, and he needs to get seen at the hospital. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. When Callum arrives at the flat just as Rainie's… Continue reading 28th March, drag him there
24th March, change of management (and the week ahead)
Another little dose of Ben this week to keep things ticking over - and Kat's harsh words to him seemed so unnecessary that it must serve a purpose. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. First though, we got a mention on Monday (Ben's birthday), from Lola. She mentions the fact that Ben didn't… Continue reading 24th March, change of management (and the week ahead)
16th & 17th March, Interpol
The latter half of this week saw an exclusively Pete-penned Callum; interacting with Zack for what I believe is the first time, and trying to deal with Stuart's return. Screencaps for the 16th can be found here and the 17th here. Feeling guilty about Shirley's reaction to his idea of a gathering for Tina, and… Continue reading 16th & 17th March, Interpol
15th March, a bad place
Poor Ben is still suffering in silence, as people continue to mistake his lack of engagement and attempts at masking as laziness or carelessness, and as a result make him feel even worse. And we even got a little Callum today to contrast against that. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Before we… Continue reading 15th March, a bad place
14th March, your problem
It's Ben cameo Monday again! And the signs that he's not alright were rather stark, I thought. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. In the cafe, Lola's distracted by the Gray gossip when her phone pings to let her know she's overdrawn, just as Ben walks in for a coffee (which he ends… Continue reading 14th March, your problem
7th March, get the gist
It must be Ben Cameo Mondays in EastEnders at the moment, as we got another short scene at the start of this week, our first week in the new schedule, Mondays to Thursdays at 7.30 every day. Hooray for routine! Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Ben's sitting in the cafe listening in… Continue reading 7th March, get the gist
28th February, enough on your plate
Apologies for the wait for this one, just wanted to make sure we had no more surprise cameos from either boys during the rest of the week. But they didn't, so let's talk about Monday! Screencaps for this episode can be found here. When Ben knocks on the door to the back of the Launderette… Continue reading 28th February, enough on your plate
25th February, anger issues
Ben's back! And we even got a little bit of Callum too. Some important scenes last night about Phil's parenting style and just how damaging it is - just before he's carted off. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Before we get onto Ben, we see Phil teaching Tommy how to box earlier… Continue reading 25th February, anger issues
