Well, long time no write! It's been a quiet spell for Ballum on EE itself, as they're away on honeymoon (referred to onscreen on Thursday when Suki made a comment to Phil about Ben away sunning himself), but they're back next week and it's straight into drama and their next big story. Mon 31st May… Continue reading The week ahead (week 22)
14th May, let’s pack
Well I'm not sure what I expected from Friday's episode but it wasn't that! Start of a new era stuff, that was. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. It's a new day, and Phil's still at the hospital with Kat, as Ben and Callum sit in the waiting room. Ben comments to Callum… Continue reading 14th May, let’s pack
13th May, glutton for punishment
Ah, some lovely little moments in last night's ep. It felt a bit like closing one chapter and opening another... or rather a couple. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. We open with the big mystery of who got run over (bless EE for trying) and Ben, who was of course Whitney's target,… Continue reading 13th May, glutton for punishment
11th May, whole
Well, they did it. Ballum are husbands! What a beautiful episode from Pete. So many references to past scenes, things said that needed to be said, and that new husband dynamic is unstoppable. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. The ep picks up right where it left off, when Ben having made it… Continue reading 11th May, whole

The week ahead (week 19)
Guys... it's here. Wedding week!! Mon 10th May - Pete LawsonIt's the day of the wedding and Callum still isn't sure whether Ben will turn up.

7th May, come rain or shine
Hello and welcome to our last ep before wedding week! Got to admit that I wasn't enamoured with the writing for this one, quite a bit of clunky dialogue, but we move - I reckon in a similar way to Thursday, it did the job at least. Screencaps for this episode can be found here.… Continue reading 7th May, come rain or shine
6th May, ain’t cancelling nothing
Well, the angst continues! But last night felt more Callum focused this time, as he got all sorts of advice and warnings in his ear before standing his ground against a resistant Ben - because he knows him and his tells. The wedding (and their future) is still on, Callum won't hear anything else. Screencaps… Continue reading 6th May, ain’t cancelling nothing
4th May, together forever
Guys!!! The pain. The angst. It didn't go how I expected but it made so much sense character wise. Let's get into it! Screencaps for this episode can be found here. We pick up right where we left off in the previous ep, with Ben moving from the kitchen to the front room in the… Continue reading 4th May, together forever
