It's the start of the big Mel vs Sharon week! Tonight focused on the build up to Louise and Sharon's joint party, so we had a little bit of Ben as part of the family planning committee, but no Callum, unfortunately. At the Beale house, Kathy is running through arrangements for the party - I'm… Continue reading 11th November, yes mum
8th November, you’re my boyfriend (and the week ahead)
What a cute little episode! Ballum are official, and it was all nice and happy for about 20 seconds until Callum dropped a bombshell that freaked Ben (and half the fandom) out. In the parlour office, Jay's sorting out the books for Pam, and she mentions how Callum seems nice. Jay tells her about how… Continue reading 8th November, you’re my boyfriend (and the week ahead)
7th November, lid for every pot
Hey guys, Pam's officially back! She's our Ballum queen for the week. Last night we had sad, cash-strapped Callum and awkward, defensive Ben. First though, we had Ben and Bobby in a little 'story overlap' scene, which EE are pretty fond of, especially since the new producers took over. Ben's on the phone to Jay… Continue reading 7th November, lid for every pot
5th November, love you as I do
Another Callum-less episode last night - but as least we're safe in the knowledge that he's back tomorrow. We didn't even have that much of Ben tonight - he served as a support to Jay, and it was nice to see him in that role. At the parlour, Lola fixes Jay's tie and tells him… Continue reading 5th November, love you as I do
4th November, happy families
Hey guys! Still on the lookout for our Callum this week - but at least we know he's still alive thanks to a mention by Ben tonight. Ben had a few scenes, setting up this week's stories. Mel buys Ben a beer at E20 and sits down next to him, much to his surprise. He… Continue reading 4th November, happy families
The week ahead (week 45)
This is it guys, it's Pam week! Let's try and make sense of these spoilers. There are lots of them out there, all with slightly different wording. These are, as always, from Digital Spy: Monday 4th Nov - Lynne Dallow Mel stirs things with Ben by mentioning a Mitchell family secret. Ben questions Sharon about… Continue reading The week ahead (week 45)
1st November, month’s notice
Anyone fancy sending out a search party for Callum? We only had Ben again last night in two scenes, but I suppose one out of the two is better than none! Screencaps for this episode can be found here. It feels like Bobby has been in hiding for weeks, so it was nice to see… Continue reading 1st November, month’s notice
To infinity and beyond…
~ Guest post by @AlexInBrum ~ I'm an emotional wreck, because of TV drama. Again.The reason? Time. Time is soap opera's superpower. While a movie might have me gripped for a couple of hours, a mini series for a few weeks, EastEnders has had me in its thrall for nearly thirty five years. So when… Continue reading To infinity and beyond…
31st October, CSI nerd squads
I'm gonna say it: we were robbed of seeing Ballum in matching outfits for the costume party. Instead we got Ben eating alone and quite a few Callum mentions as Gray grew suspicious of Leo's intentions behind unearthing that video. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Sharon quizzes Ben about what he told… Continue reading 31st October, CSI nerd squads
29th October, back pocket
Hey guys! We had some Ben on Tuesday, causing a bit of trouble (what's new) and getting involved in the Mel/Sharon feud. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. As Jean confronts Martin over what he said to Stacey the night before, Ben watches on, hand in hand with Lexi. He waits until Jean… Continue reading 29th October, back pocket
