We didn't end up seeing much of Jay's stag, but at least we got a bit of background Ballum and some partners-in-crime vibes, which I always love. For someone keen to organise Jay's stag do to the letter, Ben doesn't turn up to the Albert until after Jay's started to wonder if any men are… Continue reading 24th January, love a woo-woo
20th January, to Mick (and the week ahead)
Hope everyone is well! It was nice to see Callum in Friday's ep considering he could have easily not been there, as he didn't actually speak a word. I suppose you could take it a few ways, positive and negative. You know me though, and my more optimistic take is that the show knew he… Continue reading 20th January, to Mick (and the week ahead)
19th January, best man
Ben is so silly, but I love him so much. Self sabotage very much remains a staple for him, and we're just lucky he told Callum what he was feeling so he could fill Jay in on the problem. Before that though, we see Ben and Callum leaving the Minute Mart for the second time… Continue reading 19th January, best man
18th January, big old drama
Ben and his deep rooted insecurities strike again tonight, bless him. And should we be blessing Jay too..? We start off in the cafe, and Callum bringing Ben his coffee at the table. It's not the first time he's done it, and I like that it's a little tradition that Ben nabs the table and… Continue reading 18th January, big old drama
16th January, detective
Some unexpected Ballum for Blue Monday was just what we needed to start the week, I reckon. Poor Ben though with his confidence getting a knock. At the Mitchell house, Ben is roping Callum into searching the cabinets for a shoe box of old photos that he swears is in this house somewhere - while… Continue reading 16th January, detective

12th January, De Niro
After a quiet week, we did end it with some fleeting but cute moments in Thursday's episode. Our first Callum spot of 2023 is upon us! And it's a glimpse in the market as Lola makes him promise not to forget about the meal they're having tonight. Billy watches from his stall as Callum walks… Continue reading 12th January, De Niro

4th January, good enough
Our last glimpse of Ben on Wednesday featured a Callum mention and a dig at Sharon - pretty standard. At the house, it's the next day and there's still no sign of Kat and Tommy's whereabouts. Keeble's made her demands but if Phil gives her the evidence of her being corrupt, then Billy goes down… Continue reading 4th January, good enough
2nd and 3rd January, didn’t work out
A few Ben appearances to kick off the new year, and he's starting off strong, standing up to Nish and making his disgust for Phil and Keanu's team up clear. On Monday, neither of Ballum are to be seen at Phil's Mitchell family lunch, even though their wedding photo can clearly be seen on the… Continue reading 2nd and 3rd January, didn’t work out
