~ Guest post by @QueerlyAutistic ~ So, I'm back into EastEnders now. That's a thing that has happened. And it's entirely Jenn's fault. I think that's why she's agreed to let me write something for her Ballum blog. To assuage herself of the guilt she feels for once again ruining my life. Part of getting… Continue reading “Stop passing judgement on the closet if you’ve never been in it” or How Getting Back Into Soaps Reinforced For Me That Straight People Are The WORST
10th September, BFFs
Hey guys! Feels strange to have an episode without Callum, as the last two weeks have more or less had him at the centre of most of the drama (though tonight we did get Stuart inviting Rainie and baby Abi to move into Callum's flat, after inviting himself last night. Bit presumptuous there Stu!) But… Continue reading 10th September, BFFs

5th September, that’s why I like you
Omg you guys. Cute Ballum moments, finally! They were so sweet tonight amidst the siege drama. And then we had Whitney almost outing Callum before he was saved by the gun.

3rd September, who you are
What. An. Episode. My ramblings are definitely not going to do it justice, but I feel like I owe everyone involved to make an attempt! Pete Lawson really outdone himself on the writing, and Karl Neilson's directing was absolutely brilliant. Not to mention the acting! Let's ramble... The episode picks up where it left off… Continue reading 3rd September, who you are
2nd September, Arthur or Martha
Day 1 of Wedding Week is over, hope you're all still alive! Because I feel like we're only just getting started. Everyone was in denial last night - Callum, Ben, Whitney. All with their own reasons.

30th August, tough life
Oh my, last night was just full of heartbreak, wasn't it? Ben, Callum and Whitney all made me feel so sad for them, for different reasons. Callum's continued confusion and struggle, Whitney's shock, hurt and anger, and Ben's quiet resignation and lack of fight. This ones going to be a hard one to write, but… Continue reading 30th August, tough life
