Hello, it's been a while! We actually still don't have any spoilers, but we do know that Ben at least is in Monday's episode. I wanted to mention this past week first. Jay was out of hospital in Monday's episode, and he headed straight to the car lot where Rocky was just about to steal… Continue reading The week ahead (week 46)
1st and 2nd November, bonus ball
We had a couple of short Ben scenes to round out this week, and it's not certain when Ballum will return to us as we have no spoilers for next week (so no Week Ahead!) On Wednesday, Ben's making his way through the Square gardens with a hold-all and a box of treats from Lexi… Continue reading 1st and 2nd November, bonus ball
31st October, carrying on
Tuesday's scenes focused on Ben and Jay talking in the hospital; with Jay admitting how he was feeling and Ben reminding him how loved he is and that he's not alone. In isolation, quite lovely scenes, but we also have Ben feeling guilty for protecting his daughter and more contradictory moments that keep us evermore… Continue reading 31st October, carrying on
30th October, bub
Well, I actually quite liked last night’s scenes! Not perfect, and the cloud of PR looms over it still, but we had yet more Ballum parenting and some moments that really seemed to be selling that core unit. I just wish we knew what EE were trying to say. At the Minute Mart, Ben is… Continue reading 30th October, bub
The week ahead (week 44)
Jay's in hospital all this week, and we've got a couple of spoilers relating to that. Mon 30th Oct - Carey AndrewsBen wants to protect Lexi from the reality of Jay's bleak situation, but she insists on visiting him at the hospital.Tues 31st Oct - Carey AndrewsBen tries to make sense of what happened to… Continue reading The week ahead (week 44)
25th and 26th October, dead to me
The latter half of this week escalated quickly, some might say. And like the rest of the week, the narrative is confusing and I'm not sure what EE are trying to tell me. It's like most of this story with Jay - telling us one thing but showing us another. On Wednesday, it's not actually… Continue reading 25th and 26th October, dead to me
24th October, five minutes
Well, Tuesday brought us another episode of... whatever is going on right now. There's a lot of dad Jay language thrown about and a lot of Ben's agency as her actual dad being ignored. And yet once again no actual visual evidence of this dad/daughter bond Lexi and Jay are supposed to have. We open… Continue reading 24th October, five minutes
23rd October, still family
Well, bit of a weird one last night to say the least. Billy not knowing the full story for most of the episode, fair enough, but some of the things he said were still very off, and some odd bits here and there made for quite the confusing watch. We start off with Billy trying… Continue reading 23rd October, still family
The week ahead (week 43)
A rock bottom week for Jay this upcoming week as the family shut him out and he winds up taking an ill-advised trip to Margate. Mon 23rd October - Sharon MarshallBilly rallies the family together to plan some support for Jay, but Ben throws a spanner in the works by revealing the truth about Nadine.… Continue reading The week ahead (week 43)
19th October, final warning
Ben made a choice in Thursday's episode that put his family first, and it's hard not to respect it as something Lola would absolutely also do for the sake of Lexi. He's tried to be reasonable but he also can't afford to let things go on as they are. Jay's spent another night away from… Continue reading 19th October, final warning
