I have to admit, it's taken me a while to get round to writing this because once I do, that'll be it for the recaps for a good while! I started this blog almost exactly a year ago and really didn't expect anyone to actually be reading and to be so supportive and encouraging; so… Continue reading 16th June, takeaway?
15th June, closer to home
I have to say, I didn't expect either of Ballum in last night's episode, so our one Ben scene was a pleasant surprise! Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Ben's at the Arches, asleep, as the door bangs open and Ben gradually wakes, rubbing his temple, to find Gray standing in front of… Continue reading 15th June, closer to home
The week ahead (week 24)
This is it guys, I'm afraid - the last two eps before EE goes on hiatus. This is the second half of what was originally week 17, and they were due to air on the 30th April and 1st May. Mon 15th June - Colin WyattLinda is annoyed when she finds out how Phil has… Continue reading The week ahead (week 24)
The week ahead (week 23)
We're heading into the start of our last full week's worth of episodes before the break begins; the haitus, if you will. This would have been the first half of week 17, and would have aired on the 27th and 28th of April. Strange to think that even if EE managed to stay on air… Continue reading The week ahead (week 23)
2nd June, ignorance is bliss
Tuesday's episode had quite a bit more Ballum than expected! It started well, but we were left in a rather uncomfortable position, Ben scared to tell the truth and Callum scared of not knowing the truth. They both got advice that they didn't take, as well - for different reasons. Screencaps for this episode can… Continue reading 2nd June, ignorance is bliss
1st June, beg
Well then. An entire episode of Ben content, and what content! It was the Ben perspective episode of course, highlighting how isolated Ben feels from the world around him, the disorientation and frustration; and also showing the differences in how people treat him and the effect that has. Ben felt the ever-present need to prove… Continue reading 1st June, beg

The week ahead (week 22)
It's Sunday already, and means we have another two eps of EastEnders coming up! These are the second half of week 16, originally meant for the 23rd and 24th April. The gap as a result of the reduced schedule is pretty big now! And this week, of course, features Ben's POV ep. Mon 1st June… Continue reading The week ahead (week 22)
26th May, how can you?
More Ballum than I expected in that episode! And it really highlighted how low Ben is feeling and how desperate he is to keep his independence - and not just for his own sake, but for Callum's, and for Phil's. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Before we see either of the boys,… Continue reading 26th May, how can you?
25th May, lifesaver
Very short but very sweet Ballum last night! Which is obviously the calm before the storm... Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Ben interrupts a moment between Phil and Sharon, just as they're agreeing to start again. Well, Phil's insisting that buying the Vic is a fresh start and Sharon clearly still has… Continue reading 25th May, lifesaver
