Honestly, I really like this scene. When Ben first came to Walford, he was a nice young boy who was raised to do the right thing, however growing up in Walford clearly messed him up, Stella, juvenile detention, having Phil Mitchell as a damn father, all of this messed Ben up, and killing Heather was the culmination of how far gone Ben had become, and after months of lies, Ben finally decides to just do the right thing and turn himself in, it shows that Ben understands what he did was wrong and instead of lying about it and running from it like Phil is encouraging, he decides to do the right thing and turn himself in, which shows that the real Ben is in there somewhere. Joshua Pascoe gets a bad rap as Ben, and while his acting was certainly off at times, I think he played “twisted angsty teen” version of Ben quite well.
Phil has lost Ben three times when he went to prison 1) went to prison for attacking Jordan 2) went to prison for murdering Heather 3) got arrested when the police thinks he killed Lucy
Abdul Wahab Na max bowden is great but Harry Reid is the best for me he because he brought much more emotion to the character like the death of Paul trying to convince the square he changed since his murder so yeah for me Harry Reid nailed it as Ben 👍
I didn’t like this actor just cause everyone said he was the worst, but actually watching his time back as Ben, he’s actually quite good at embracing the dark side of Ben, as well as the vulnerable, he may not be the best Ben, but he’s not as bad as everyone’s making him out to be
Too bad this didn't actually end with Julia's theme as this was the last episode of EastEnders I watched on a regular basis. I did tune in for the 30th Anniversary episodes in 2015. But apart from that, my interest in EastEnders ended with this episode. I wanted to see Ben back in prison for murdering Heather before I stopped watching for good.
Slash Ben was set to leave Eastenders, that's why and he came back on the 22nd and 23rd September 2014 but played by Harry Reid replacing Joshua Pascoe. But in 2013 Ben was mentioned by other people who are still in Eastenders and appeared in a cameo school picture frame
He was shanked in the side the day after and bled out on the yard because the guards were paid off to ignore him. Try to be noble in the prison system, eh? LOL bad move.
Finally we don’t have to see this Ben anymore
Yh he ruins his character
@@eastenders532 why
This was almost a decade ago but ok
@@eastenders532 watch eastenders 2011 to 2012
I hated it when this Ben left 😕

3:01, that is so sad. That is honestly so heartbreaking.

London Bus & Train Enthusiast he didn’t go to prison for killing Lucy he just got arrested

@@transportenthusiasticman26 He also lost Ben the very first time when Kathy took him to South Africa.
@@paulyb7267 true, that's another 0point i miss
@@transportenthusiasticman26 After Kathy took Ben away, Phil didn't see his son for the next 10 years!
3:00 saddest thing ever
This Ben is the best in EastEnders
No, he was crap
Ruining someone else life is never the option to save and make your own life better always try and make their life and your own better ❤🤣🤣🤣
10 years would be too much for Ben. He's such an unstable character.
how long did he end up doing?
dave IsDave I don’t understand how it was only 2 years for 2nd degree murder
@@tsmmyth3115 ikr
@@tsmmyth3115 It was actually 2nd degree manslaughter. Ben got 4 years but was released after 20 months!
Pauly B shut up
This Ben is really underrated actor think he did really well with this storyline
I agree he’s gets so much hate but deep down he’s the best Ben Mitchell actor in my opinion
Mballer 15 I don’t think he was good but Harry Reid was the best Ben he brought more emotions to the character

The first 2 Ben's was the worse , the 3rd one who got accused of killing Lucy was the best one
Feel bad for phil but it least ben admitted the truth
couldn't stand the guy who played Ben then

Nope.
@Mycroft Holmes Well, I did tune in again last Christmas and watched up until around June and then lost interest again.
Please don't do this
Did this actually have Julia’s theme ??
No, it was edited
Bday that day.....thank God happy bday to me,
