Sorry but this is real and brilliant. I know it is soap so it has to go for the DRAMA but walk in a Gay person's shoes who has struggled with it and then you will see that it is not over the top. The bloke who plays Ben really was spot on here. Believe me. I know.

I like how Ben was right at the height of his anger and Kathy tells him she knew he was gay when he was a child, told Phil, and his being gay or not does not matter because she and Phil love him no matter what. You can literally see Ben's anger vanish from his face and his body relax from the tension.

+GoldFist090 See, now I don't think so at all. Ben is a pretty complicated product of a very fucked-up family, and that is how he has learned to behave. I think his acting is spot-on. Some of it is definitely Phil's.fault, and Ben growing up without a mother hasn't helped him either. Just keep repeating to yourself: He's a Mitchell, he's a Mitchell, he's a Mitchell. I really want to see him end up with Paul. I want stupid "I'm pregnant" (bullshit) Abi to just go away. I'll bet if Ben tells crazy Ronnie that he want's out, she'll find a creative way to make Abi disappear. RIP Fatboy - in the wrong place in the wrong time.

+GoldFist090 Sorry to disagree, but I don't know, to me that just makes him stand out from the other actors. I like it - it's what makes Ben Ben.

+GoldFist090 Harry Reid is an amazing actor, and for him to try and mimic the lesser Bens that came before him would be a huge mistake. Anyway - people also change as they mature - none of us talk or gesture in the same way that we did as kids.

@@amymurray7994 Stella was part of the problem, the rest of it was more the "man up, behave like a Mitchell" crap that Ben was fed from day 1 and Kathy would have fought against that if she'd been around. She did with Pete over Ian who also had those attitudes but nowhere near as bad as Phil.

Even before starting school, at such a young age? And she told Phil? Both of these surprised me! I'm really glad it was completely a non issue for Kathy though, from these scenes you could tell her and Ben had a really close bond when he was a little boy (and that bond seemed to reconnect with them both pretty fast). Broke my heart when Ben said "mum" and Kathy said "my baby". Such powerful and emotional scenes . To be honest, I wish Kathy was my mom (not that I have anything against me own mom).

Telling the gf can be the toughest part but, most have already figured out the cause of their problems -- the same problems that haunt the relationship with the secret bf. Can't wait to see Paul's reaction. ;-)

Another thing about Ben's character that has changed is his love relationship. Ben treated Paul and Johnny much better than he has ever treated Callum for the entirety of their relationship. Pam (though not initially) and Les both loved Ben whereas Stuart and Rainie (and also Vi) hate him.
@paulyb72673 жыл бұрын
@Mr Doctors13 Stuart may not hate Ben as much as he did at first now but that’s only because of Ben and Callum being an item. Secretly Stuart (and also Rainie) still doesn’t like Ben all that much but he let it go for Callum. Stuart and Rainie basically tolerate Ben rather than like him. After all people pretend a lot to keep the ones they love happy. Most people in a lot of families in real life don’t all like each other all that much after all.

The original Ben was whiny, albeit unintentionally hilarious (YOU NEED SLAPPING DAHN!). The second Ben was an OK actor but was fugly and had a punchable looking face. This new Ben is also an OK actor but whenever he does a shouting scene or any scene that requires emotion, he OVERACTS. It's annoying.
