A little more Jack and Callum in Thursday's ep, and it's pretty satisfying to have Callum taking the high ground after Jack has spent so long doing the same to him, not going to lie. Just as Jack is making a melodrama out of Callum's words to him the day before, telling Denise that he's… Continue reading 23rd March, keep my nose clean
20th & 22nd March, twenty four hours
We've had both boys in this week so far, doing their own thing, if briefly. We had our small glimpse of Ben in Monday's episode, giving Kathy her Mother's Day card, and giving Bobby a playful slap over the head when he mocked his comment about not being here without her. No lunch to speak… Continue reading 20th & 22nd March, twenty four hours
The week ahead (week 12)
Looks like we have some separate Ballum cameos this week. Mon 20th March - Lauren KleeWhen Freddie offers to treat her to a slap-up Mother’s Day lunch at The Vic, Jean is thrilled. But when they get to the pub, Rocky, who is there with Kathy, Bobby and Ben, is desperate to keep a lid… Continue reading The week ahead (week 12)
15th and 16th March, wingman
Well, while we had a bit of Ballum sweetness in our latter half of the week, we also had some cause for concern, I think it's fair to say. Ben's behaviour is suddenly starting to show a pattern... still not sure if it's going somewhere or not, but it seems quite pointed now. On Wednesday,… Continue reading 15th and 16th March, wingman
13th and 14th March, under caution
Our first half of this week is Cop Callum focused (sorry... Detective) as he warily eyes up Ravi and deals with the allegations against Stacey. On Monday, we get what seems like a completely gratuitous appearance from Callum, strolling through the Square in his detective suit and Kim passing comment on how he scrubs up… Continue reading 13th and 14th March, under caution
The week ahead (week 11)
Welcome to the week ahead! Bit of non-Ravi police stuff for Callum, as well as some Jola and Emma stuff that Ballum seem to be on the periphery of. Mon 13th March - Bryan KirkwoodStacey comes clean to Jean about the money and asks for her help with returning it. Things don't go to plan,… Continue reading The week ahead (week 11)
9th March, homophobic seal of approval
Another good episode for us, I thought! It was Vi's last episode, there were some more cute Ballum moments, and Callum's decision may come back to bite him (although it really shouldn't.) The thing about characters leaving is they usually get more to do in their last week or so (typically), and in this episode… Continue reading 9th March, homophobic seal of approval
8th March, locked room
How nice to have Callum opening and closing last night’s episode! There were some nice little character moments from both of Ballum; and some interesting ones too. The very first thing we see once the episode begins is Callum staring Ben down, and Ben staring back while Vi and Bernie look on. But then Callum… Continue reading 8th March, locked room
6th and 7th March, the Fuzz and the Buzz
Some nice little supportive Ballum scenes in our first half of episodes this week! Monday gave us some community Ballum as Callum joins in the dilemma over how to express sympathy to Whitney, who's just terminated her baby who'd had a low chance of survival. And Ben is there to support Callum however he can,… Continue reading 6th and 7th March, the Fuzz and the Buzz
