EastEnders - Charlie Jones's First Appearance As Ben Mitchell (6th March 2006)

[@MastersGraduate2023]

Charlie Jones is a impressive child actor & he protayed a troubled youngster well. Ben's early years of turmoil made me feel very sad & scared for him. I hope Charlie is doing fine these days.

Ben was so feeble during his early years, and all the horrors he went through while being abused by evil Stella. I remember that storyline, it was really troubling

I love the way how Ian was so good to Ben when he was a child but now Ian is just a traitor

[@CALSW0RLD]

To think Lucy would in the future be killed by young Bobby in this.

Exactly like what?

[@bethgoode1227]

I know man 2 future killers who would’ve guessed from how innocent they are here

[@MastersGraduate2023]

Great courageous child actor. It hurt my feeling as Charlie acted as Ben in distress. Angels hate seeing kids in distress. I wish Charlie further success in his young life.

[@amysmith2371]

It’s strange to think what Ben’s life would’ve been like if he hadn’t had a troubled upbringing.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

@@george_fg to be fair, Steffi’s not lying. Not to speak-ill of the-dead by any means but for what I know (people I know who worked at EastEnders in some capacity during her tenure have told me as much as well) she wasn’t that far-removed from the 2006-rendering of her character or easy to work with. That doesn’t mean she was a horrible person (at-all) but it’s not hard to understand why most of the cast felt a little intimated by her.

[@tomgaydar]

Kathy is alive now

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

Cos it was revealed in 2016 that she never died in the first place.

I preferred Charlie Jones I hated Joshua Pascoe reason being I don't think the part of Ben suited him Harry Reid now actually quite good he was good with Sharon's son

Was wandering the same 🤔 in real life it could never be theres only 5 years age difference between the actors think I remember in a documentary years ago the directors wandered the same the did some figures and worked out kathy could be Ian's mum if she had him at 16 . Hope this helps a bit

19

@@originaldw There's a much larger age gap than that. Gillian was either 30 or 31 when she got the job playing Kathy (who was 35 when the show started and is 70 now) while Adam was 16 playing Ian at the same age. So there's a 14 year age gap, not five.

He played his part well enough (for his age) but part of his part was to be an annoying twerp. The guy executed that flawlessly but that doesn’t do much for his ‘non-infamous’ popularity as a character.
