Time for the week ahead! Ballum might be back together, but it comes as we begin another difficult week for Lola and her family. Mon 31st October - Kevin RundleJay struggles as the doctor explains the brain tumour operation to Lola. Elsewhere, Ben and Callum get dressed up. Lola and Lexi make plans for next… Continue reading The week ahead (week 44)
27th October, still love you
Well guys… that happened! Did they talk? Admittedly, no. But the motivation behind it - not wasting time - meant I was actually alright with it. They were confronted with the bigger picture; their own mortality. The things that need to be said can still be said, but right now they need each other, and… Continue reading 27th October, still love you
26th October, whenever you’re ready
So, I think we can see where things might be headed Ballum-wise after last night - or it's certainly opened up a few reunion theories anyway. It's the next day in EE land, and Ben and Lexi are on a video call to Lola and Jay, who are still in the hospital. Lexi's telling Lola… Continue reading 26th October, whenever you’re ready
25th October, stone
Well, I'm not going to lie to you - last night felt like regression where Ballum was concerned. But I get the feeling it was purposely done to make us (and them) feel a bit of hopelessness before there's a turnaround. Which is standard soap formula at this point. The episode picks up where we… Continue reading 25th October, stone
24th October, family
Well, talk about a bittersweet episode! Some very sweet moments but then we also have some more difficult moments, and of course ending with Lola's duff duff. In a surprise turn of events, Ben is working! Or trying to - Lola's on the phone, and Ben is insisting that he won't forget about Lexi's pageant.… Continue reading 24th October, family
20th October, non-negotiable (and the week ahead)
Hope you've all enjoyed your weekend! Before I get onto week 43, I've just got to talk about our Thursday scene which featured Ben as Lexi's henchman while she read out her list of demands to Jay and Lola, which they have to meet or else Lexi's not going to speak to them again. The… Continue reading 20th October, non-negotiable (and the week ahead)
19th October, forthwith
A couple of short Ben scenes last night! Nothing too major, though he now knows about Jay and Lola being back together and Lexi's reaction was a great source of amusement for him. According to Lily earlier on, it's inset day which means no school for the kids. Ben turns up in the market with… Continue reading 19th October, forthwith
The week ahead (week 42)
It's another quiet week ahead for us in week 42. In fact, the only reason we know we're seeing Ben is because he's in a few of the spoiler pictures for Wednesday 19th Oct, when Lola and Jay tell Martin about the fact they're together (because he roped Jay in as a wingman for a… Continue reading The week ahead (week 42)
The week ahead (week 41)
Well, there's actually nothing for Ballum in week 41 in terms of spoilers! But I thought I'd make a post anyway as there's a few tidbits worth rounding up... The paps spotted some filming going on for Dot's funeral, something that the show have been planning since June Brown passed away earlier this year. They… Continue reading The week ahead (week 41)
5th (and 6th) October, surprise!
It's been quite a while since we've had a bit of lightheartedness from Ballum, and I was glad to see it! I like approach of having them interact with a focus other than their relationship; and a reminder to them and to us that they actually do have these sorts of moments working as a… Continue reading 5th (and 6th) October, surprise!
