So far this week we've had two very small Ben cameos with Phil, that have led to him getting the Arches back. Bit random, and it feels like setting him up to be in the best possible place he can be. Which in soap is always a bad thing, even if we didn't know what… Continue reading 5th and 8th February, strong

23rd and 25th January, show up
It's been a week of little Ben cameos, with a bit of marathon talk and then as part of a catalyst for Denise to exhibit some worrying behaviour. On Tuesday we see him running through the Square with Jay and Honey, led by Peter who is apparently training them (at a discount). Ben doesn't say… Continue reading 23rd and 25th January, show up
17th and 18th January, let you down (and the week ahead)
Here comes the Emma/Phil fallout! On Wednesday, Phil's looking through the boxing gym office to find something to pay off Sam when Ben comes in to check on him. If we hoped for a clarification on the whole marathon thing, we didn't get it here - perhaps Ben just never stopped working out, or he… Continue reading 17th and 18th January, let you down (and the week ahead)
15th January, extractor fan
Monday gave us a couple of Ben quips in an otherwise quiet background episode for him as he attended Aunt Sal's funeral. After being told by Phil that Ben and Billy weren't actually planning on attending the funeral, Sam appears to have summoned them to the Mitchell house to try and persuade them. Both of… Continue reading 15th January, extractor fan
10th January, caravan in Clacton (and the week ahead)
Our weekly Ballum scrap popped up on Wednesday in the form of Ben and the rest of the Mitchells learning about Aunt Sal's death. In the Vic, Ben brings Jay a pint from the bar just as Phil gets the call. While he steps away, Sam jokes about Honey letting 'the boys' get a head… Continue reading 10th January, caravan in Clacton (and the week ahead)
1st January, bit intense (and the week ahead)
Well, I hope everyone is holding up okay! First post of the new year, and it's going to be a mixed bag of a year for us I think. We've had a tiny bit of 2024 Ballum, in Peggy's with the other 20-30 year olds counting in the new year. The only thing of note… Continue reading 1st January, bit intense (and the week ahead)
25th December, touched the sides (and the week ahead)
Hey guys. I'm sure we've all seen the News - but before I get into that, we had a few Ballum sightings over Christmas, thankfully low key. You might have missed it but we did have a Callum appearance on Thursday 22nd, set on Christmas Eve within the show as he (and I presume Ben… Continue reading 25th December, touched the sides (and the week ahead)
11th December, bricks and mortar
Long time no speak! It's been a very quiet month for Ballum, and it appears they've managed to take four whole weeks away from Walford with no notice. No school for Lexi, no therapy for Ben, no work for Callum or Jay. Amazing how things work in soap! Anyway, Ben made a brief appearance on… Continue reading 11th December, bricks and mortar
13th November, super sleuth
We had Ballum back briefly at the start of this week, only to be told they're off again! Bit of a role reversal for Ben and Jay from last year as well, and some Dad Callum and cute husband content to round it off. In the flat, Ben's on the phone to his mum while… Continue reading 13th November, super sleuth
