Ben has truly been through so much trauma in his life I'm glad he's getting help

[@justaperson2222]

ben has been through so much these past few years. i hop he can finally start to heal now that he’s starting therapy 😢

[@stevemaynards.g.t]

He such a good actor...best ben there is hope he stayed for long time.

[@shaunacurley1032]

Steve hi sorry for asking is max leaving eastenders

[@stevemaynards.g.t]

@@shaunacurley1032 max branning you mean? He left ages ago.

[@stevemaynards.g.t]

Sorry wasn't thinking no hes not leaving wouldn't want him to!

[@shaunacurley1032]

No problem thank you 😊 Steve

[@shaunacurley1032]

Steve sorry about that I was thinking max brenning as well

[@artl1832]

I’m looking forward to see Ben enjoying chips and beer again. xx enjoying his food with people he loves

[@poundshoplinda4476]

So good to show the parrallel between the Ben here and the Ben we saw this week on the show as he opened up to Callum about his eating disorder - finally about to talk about his problems and Callum, his rock - always ready to listen. I absolutely love this couple Eastenders and i especially love that you have given so much care and attention to Bens mental health, it feels like you really care about the longevity of the character and the way so many people can relate to him - I also appreciate that you make a point of making him a sympathetic character despite his past - and finally that youve given him an angel like Callum Highway to help navigate his life. People who have been through trauma often have the most love to give.

[@julian7934]

Agreed

[@soheilamirnezami6198]

Brilliant acting of Ben. Well done

[@EeLover-tu8og]

please let ballum have some happiness soon 😢 they have been through hell and back since 2019. they deserve happiness more than any other couple.

[@artl1832]

It’s a soap dear so expect more of these.

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

@@artl1832we can ask for happy things to happen, too. Ben and Callum deserve it. This is an old episode though.

[@StephenReidsaintofweatherfield]

man said ballum🤮🤮🤮

[@mysoullovessoul558]

This Ballum storyline will save lives. If I'd had this representation as a teenager in the 80's, that time wouldn't have been such a sad waste.

[@ilovethelingo5677]

As a gay man myself, I love the Ballum storylines and they are the very best gay couple in Eastenders

[@Darskul]

Syed and Christian would like to have a word with you.

[@morelorel]

Very best gay couple in Eastenders is a stretch..

[@meradceu]

Considering theres no other gay couples its not a stretch ^

[@meradceu]

@@Darskulyou’re probably the same person that says anna&gina are copying roxy&ronnie. Stop living in the past, there will be new couples and new characters.

[@morelorel]

@@meradceu yes it is

[@Nay-r8j]

Their acting is phenomenal, they portray the storylines spot on, they’re the best couple on Eastenders. It’s amazing how two very different people found each other and can now be each others rock for life, they’re fantastic together and have taught be lots of life lessons Thanks Eastenders team luv ya 🫶🏻

[@DonnaHuchinson]

Poor Ben he's broken I know how he feels

[@artl1832]

Ben is a multi-layered character, very well acted by the multi-talented Max Bowden. 🎉

[@alexmillar9821]

No….. He can't act. They need to replace him.

[@artl1832]

I didnt ask for your opinion. Shhushh

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

@@alexmillar9821no need for that.

[@shaunacurley1032]

Alex Ben can act

[@Nay-r8j]

@@alexmillar9821boo max is the best actor of Ben Mitchell, watch where they first meet 2019, where he gets raped 2022, they’re marriage/proposal 2021, where he goes deaf 2020 and 2023 after math of when Lola dies & then we’ll have proved you wrong

[@morelorel]

why does he say “i’m suppose to be this tough guy” nobody can stan you when you act like that.

[@ariadallimore222]

I miss pam

[@yvonnebettini6872]

Ben called Cow instead of Cal 😳🙈🙈so many writing misstakes

[@Nay-r8j]

No it’s his accent you muppet 😂

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Ben makes some good points. I'm gonna miss him. Please bring back Charlie Jones.

[@elvinmoepi485]

Jack has made his choice

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

Going by the title this video is supposed to be about Ben. I don’t know why the scene with Jack in is there.

[@phippskat]

​@@Guitar-qv6gubecause the video is about Ben accepting himself. That whole party was about Ben putting aside his fears for Callum. If you know Ben's history, then you know why that scene was included

[@phippskat]

@@Guitar-qv6gu you: "I don't know why the scene with Jack is in there"... I was explaining why. If you DO know, why say you don't?

[@phippskat]

I also didn't repeat anything you said. You said the opposite.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

I love ben and I love calum but ben and callum are really boring together. they are too PC.

[@Nay-r8j]

WTH r u talking abt they maybe different but they’re like two pees in a pod they both wouldn’t be the man they are today without each other they entertain and inspire all

[@spencerreid2086]

I preferred it when Ben was a villain and was getting his arse kicked every week that was more entertaining.

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

Soaps aren’t meant to be entertaining. They are meant to highlight issues like Ben’s issues.

[@spencerreid2086]

@@Guitar-qv6gu urmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no lol their fictional tv shows. entertainment is the main priority or at least it should be we don't watch these things to get the same stuff we can just get by going out into the real world.

​@@Guitar-qv6guthey're meant to be both. It's pretty silly to say a drama isn't meant to be entertaining...

Here we go again like a 5 year old having temper tantrums, his daughters mum passed away and all he ever does is care about himself, Lola did the right thing letting Jay have parental responsibility

[@justaperson2222]

he was raped and has been dealing with mental health problems for years. you can’t just switch off your mental illness just because someone in your family gets ill/dies. mental illness is still an illness and requires treatment. stop being ignorant.

@@justaperson2222Lol i didn’t read all of that but beating up loads of innocent people is justifiable?? 😂 always plays the victim card

Ur absolutely correct the most insufferable character ever created on eastenders he does my head in he’s always whinging and gurning I wish they would get rid of him.
