It's officially Callum and Whitney's wedding month! I think, after a relatively quiet July, we're in for a big month. It's certainly kicking off for Ben already, but not from a Ballum perspective. Indeed, we were hoping for a surprise Callum appearance tonight (as we knew nothing about how Phil's attack aftermath was going to… Continue reading 1st August, I’ll sort this
30th July, pipe-cleaners and a shotgun
So, someone got slapped dahn last night, and it wasn't Ben doing the slapping! I think most of us were pretty certain Ben wouldn't be the one to attack Phil, purely because they'd made him seem too likely in the run up to it. As we will discuss... Screencaps for this episode can be found… Continue reading 30th July, pipe-cleaners and a shotgun
29th July, the new Sharon
Hello! We had a bit of Ben last night, clearly being set up as the main suspect for Phil's attack, which I believe is happening tonight. Screencaps for this episode can be found here. Phil finds Ben in the cafe and asks (no, tells) him to look after E20 for the day to ease Sharon's… Continue reading 29th July, the new Sharon
26th July, cross my heart
Hello guys - it's Monday, and EastEnders is tonight! We know we have Ben to look forward to this week, but whether Callum shows his face remains to be seen. But as always, fingers crossed! But let's touch quickly on Friday's episode (and it will be quick, lol.) Screencaps for this episode can be found… Continue reading 26th July, cross my heart
25th July, the Callum crumbs continue
Hello, let's talk about Callum's 30 second scene last night! He had a total of one line, but it was still a sweet little moment. Tiffany's plan to leave Walford has been playing out all week, and her leaving party are making their way to the Vic for a send-off. But Callum senses that something's… Continue reading 25th July, the Callum crumbs continue
23rd July, have you met Shirley?
Yeah, I know, we had one Ben scene last night, and no Callum. It really does feel like waiting on crumbs, doesn't it? But a little Ben is better than nothing, and it continues the set up for his motive to attack Phil in a few weeks. The scene set up made me laugh -… Continue reading 23rd July, have you met Shirley?
22nd July – what’s not to love, eh Callum?
I have all the feels after Monday's episode! I had predicted a 20 second Ballum scene and we actually got 11 seconds, so I was being generous. Although the Callum content was brief, we had a lot of Ben in this episode, covering a range of emotions, and Max really pulled it out of the… Continue reading 22nd July – what’s not to love, eh Callum?
18th July, a gay icon
Last night was a sad one for Ben. The scenes were shorter than I was expecting but that's okay - the point got across. Ben comes home after another all-nighter, and Lexi asks him, "what's a gay icon?" Honey, you're looking at one. Ben snaps at Lexi for taking the cereal and Lola rears her… Continue reading 18th July, a gay icon
16th July, tell that to the casino
Another tiny Ben scene last night, but it starts off his story for the week - his downward spiral. I'll take that tenner Ben, if you don't want it. Shirley tells Phil that she saw Ben in a state, and Phil talks to Lola who reveals he comes home in the morning, has a shower… Continue reading 16th July, tell that to the casino
15th July, a wild Ben appears
Last night we were treated to a nice surprise - after assuming neither Ben nor Callum were in the episode, we had Ben turn up after a night out, asking Keegan if he knows who owns the signature scrawled across his forehead. It was a small but funny scene to commemorate England's Cricket World Cup… Continue reading 15th July, a wild Ben appears
