So, last night basically demonstrated what Callum has to lose, and how scared he is of that possibility; as well as reminding us that Ben's scared of losing it too, as he knows something is wrong. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Our first scene is the clip we already saw the day… Continue reading 4th January, change of plan

Happy new year! Let's hope 2021 is an improvement on 2020. At least we started the year off with some Ballum, even if it involved Callum asking Jack of all people for help. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. We first see them outside the car lot as Stuart shouts over to them… Continue reading 1st January, help me

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas! After this year, it's certainly been needed. And of course, we got very little of that merriness on EastEnders, as standard. Screencaps for these episodes can be found here and here. After a Christmas Eve episode that featured a small bit of silent background Ballum, Ben raising… Continue reading 24th and 25th December, Silent Night

Hi guys! This episode only had a little Ben as he gets to the truth of Ian's scare at the Vic, in classic Rob Gittins style. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. From his vantage point in the upstairs front room, Ian looks out the window over the Square. Conveniently, lots of people… Continue reading 21st December, ask Guy Fawkes

Last night focused on this development with Suki and the CCTV; drawing similarities between the Mitchells and the Panesars, specifically Kheerat and Ben. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. There's a bit of Ballum playfulness to start off with; a cute breakfast scene with Ben stealing a bite of whatever Callum had waiting… Continue reading 18th December, what’s yours is mine

Good afternoon - looks like I was wrong on several counts in my last post! It was an oversight not to assume that if a soapy possibility exists, EastEnders (especially at Christmas) will take it, no matter how silly it seems. Time to put those banners and 'DIDH Is Dead' balloons away... Screencaps for this… Continue reading 17th December, seen a ghost

Where do I even start with that episode?! I know we suspected what Stuart had done but it still surprised me. And we actually did have some Ballum, with some intriguing dialogue. And a Ben duff duff! Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Before all that, we've got Ben out of custody after… Continue reading 15th December, I owe you

Lots going on in last night's ep. Separate scenes for Ben and Callum again, as Ben gets arrested due to a flashback Ian experiences, but is it as it seems? Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Ben and Phil watch on as Ian returns from hospital (along with the entire Square, apparently, who… Continue reading 14th December, you had it coming

So, my hopes about last night were perhaps a bit too optimistic - we had a Ben scene, and a few Callum scenes, but none together. Ben's avoidance of Callum is hinted at again though, and Callum, being the upstanding police officer that he is, gets annoyed that Rainie's false alibi could backfire. Screencaps for… Continue reading 11th December, buy an alibi

Hey guys - some small but important scenes last night; at least, I think they're important! Screencaps for this episode can be found here. First we have Ben at the hospital, in what I assume is a continuation of the same day where he basically ran out of the house to escape Callum in Tuesday's… Continue reading 10th December, major relief
