So there was no long emotional speech from Callum last night after all; go figure. Still, he got a little more than what we saw in the trailer and that's something! Screencaps for this episode can be found here. At the flat, Stuart's apparently found the engagement ring he lost at the restaurant after the… Continue reading 20th April, pageboy outfit

Screencaps for this episode can be found… Continue reading 13th April, the new normal
Hop Over There, Kermit – Ballum’s First Meeting
Happy Easter, guys! Of course, not only is it Easter Sunday today, it's also one whole year since Ben Mitchell strolled into the pub and introduced himself to the man behind the bar - Callum Highway. And what a year it's been since then. I thought I'd commemorate this anniverary by discussing it a little.… Continue reading Hop Over There, Kermit – Ballum’s First Meeting
7th April, I’m proud of you (and the week ahead)
Let's talk about Tuesday's episode, where our Ballum scenes focused on Ben being afraid of Phil's reaction to his hearing loss. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Dotty's been trying to blackmail Ian into giving her the Arches - which belongs to Ben, so not sure how he'd have swung that. Anyway, Dotty… Continue reading 7th April, I’m proud of you (and the week ahead)
6th April, welcome home
Another two episode week has kicked off, and last night we had some Ben - four scenes with four different people. He really does get around! Screencaps for this episode can be found here.

The week ahead (week 14)
So it's nearly time for our weekly dose of EE. This would ordinarily be the second half of week 12 - so you can see how the difference in time will start getting bigger. Still, I like to keep track of these things! Mon 6th April - Mark StevensonPhil has spent the night in a… Continue reading The week ahead (week 14)
31st March, I love you
Hope everyone's keeping well - and still floating a bit after Tuesday's episode! I know I am. What a great way for Pete Lawson to leave us for now (he's said this was his last episode before filming stopped.) It wasn't a whole lot - three and a half minutes over two scenes in fact… Continue reading 31st March, I love you
30th March, I’m here
It's another week of EastEnders... and we're already halfway through it. Last night's episode was focused on Dennis' funeral, and while there wasn't a whole lot of content Ballum wise, it was still more than I'd been expecting - and highlighted a few issues surrounding offering help and accepting help. Screencaps for this episode can… Continue reading 30th March, I’m here
The week ahead (week 12… or 13)
So with EE's schedule being reduced to two episodes a week, the spoilers and timings are all a bit askew, which will continue as they fall further behind with transmission dates. These two episodes coming up should have aired the previous week, so we're going into week 13 with week 12 spoilers. Hope that makes… Continue reading The week ahead (week 12… or 13)
