Our big Ballum week has begun... and Callum wasn't in tonight's episode. Typical! We got a little bit of Ben though, but not much. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. In the cafe, Ben stands at the counter to talk to his mum while Dotty's waiting on her coffee. Imagine the trouble she… Continue reading 20th January, token gay
The week ahead (week 3)
So, we know from an EastEnders blunder that this week is a big week for Ballum - but you wouldn't think it from the spoilers! Mon 20th January - Carey AndrewsLouise agrees to attend a family meal for Phil's birthday but ends up lashing out at him and Ben. Sharon is hurt when she sees the… Continue reading The week ahead (week 3)
What the date with Simon tells us about Callum
~ Guest post by @saraballumfan ~ We need to talk about the date with Simon. Because I think it was a genius move by the EastEnders team. And I'm not saying that because I'm (obviously) pleased that the date didn't go anywhere and Callum walked out. I'm saying this because I think the date taught… Continue reading What the date with Simon tells us about Callum
17th January, something like that
So the focus was on Callum in last night's episode, and while his feelings on Ben's confession are still a bit of a mystery, his feelings on Ben despite that have never been clearer. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. In the cafe, Rainie's trying to get Callum interested in going on a… Continue reading 17th January, something like that
16th January, I wouldn’t
Hey guys! It's certainly a rollercoaster of a week we and Ballum are having, and it's not over yet. We first see Ben with Phil and Denny as they walk through the Square. It's not really Ben's scene, but he's there standing behind the other two as they talk about Denny's visit to the dentist.… Continue reading 16th January, I wouldn’t
14th January, you know
Well, no one said it would be easy. And my goodness, have things just gotten really difficult. What a painful episode! But some stunning performances. We start off with a little bit of cuteness as Ben tends to baby Peggy while Lisa reveals to Phil that Louise is saying all sorts of crazy things, including… Continue reading 14th January, you know
13th January, Callum’s back (with a bang)
Well well well. That was an episode for the ages, wasn't it? Out of all the predictions for what would happen in the car lot, none of us expected that. But also - it made total sense. Before we get to that scene though, we got a few scenes with Ben, and he's not in… Continue reading 13th January, Callum’s back (with a bang)
The week ahead (week 2)
Today's the day - Callum is back! But there's more angst to come, as we expected. Mon 13th January - Jonny O'Neil Martin orders Ben to keep Louise in check, and thus he issues her a stern warning. Callum turns up to see Ben at the car lot.Tues 14th January - Jonny O'NeilAs Louise's behaviour… Continue reading The week ahead (week 2)
10th January, wham bam thank you Sam
Hey all! Our double dose of episodes on Friday were a much needed insight into how Ben's dealing with everything at the moment, with some key scenes with Louise in particular. I think it's apparent that Ben's not even allowing himself to crumble in private (as I know some of us were hoping he would)… Continue reading 10th January, wham bam thank you Sam
“I decide who I deserve” – why fighting for Ben does not make Callum a pushover
~ Guest post by @QueerlyAutistic ~ Well, that was an eventful Christmas, wasn't it? Emotions were running high over the festive season, on screen and in the fandom. In many cases, those emotions are still running high. A lot of people are incredibly angry with Ben, and with good reason. He made the decision to go through… Continue reading “I decide who I deserve” – why fighting for Ben does not make Callum a pushover
