Ben was never my favourite character after the whole human trafficking thing, so I'm glad he's gone. But even I have to admit the exit felt fast. Last week he was A ok, and within 4 episodes he's being extradited without a proper goodbye to his family other than Callum.
Man, they really rushed this exit through. I got bored of Ben's nonsense long ago anyway, Callum will be a better character without him & there's absolutely no chance the show has him wait for Ben, they'll have him in a new relationship probably before the year is out.
This exit is incredibly disrespectful to Max, considering he poured his heart into five years of tough, hard-hitting storylines, especially the Lola storyline, which was very personal to him as he lost his best friend to a brain tumor. He should have never been axed.
He’s the best Ben Mitchell there’s ever been and it’s a shame Tony is losing a best friend so is Jamie as well also not to think of Isabella who has only known max as an on screen dad she’ll be heartbroken 😢
@@robertdavies6630 nah mate I was joking since that's a line Ben himself said during one of his pity parties from a year or so ago "" YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE MEEEEEEE "" sounds like something a spoilt teenager would say lol.
Wgen he went to America last year (looking for a miracle cure for Lola). He used someone else's credit card to buy luxuries (expensive hotel, expensive restaurant, petrol, etc.).
Stupid decision to get rid of one not only your best young actors … but one of your BEST actors in general & a huge ship (when all the ships on the show have been destroyed) that people have put half a decade of continual committed watching of ….. Also using the real life actor’s own trauma against him. You should be ashamed.
Given how Max seems to have been persona non grata with EE since the news of his departure, I was fully expecting Wed to be his last ep and no goodbye between Ben & Callum but thankfully that wasn't the case. Very moving scenes, with some nice nods to dialogue from the past. Very sad that it ended this way though. Ballum were a fantastic couple, which was totally down to the off the scale chemistry between Max & Tony. It doesn't matter which actor is cast to be Ben 7.0, that chemistry just won't be replicated and I don't want it to be. I don't want to see any other Ben with Callum. Hopefully Tony will have left of his own choice by then, so fans won't have to see second best. I waited nearly 50 years to see gay characters that I could relate to and resonate with on TV. I have never been so invested in a couple like I have been with Ballum, so massive thanks to Max & Tony for making that happen ❤❤
Hopefully does not come back please via new face actor's/actress as usual too.. locked up in prison forever... thanks annoying writer's or appreciate it's.
I might stop watching EE for a while. Mainly because most of the people who are currently on it, absolutely irritate me! I don’t mean Ben or Callum, especially not Callum, as I really love him, but a few others: Jay - everything about him annoys me; his face, his voice, and I just hope he loses everything and leaves the show for good. Billy - mainly the same reasons as Jay! His stupid face and being the pathetic coward that he’s always been. He’s just a sad excuse for a man. Denzel - I can’t bare the way he acts…and after what he called Yolande (who is his auntie) has made me despise him even more. Avani - because everything is just a joke to her. Finally Dean - not only all for what he’s put Linda through, but now messing up his own daughter’s medication, and the fact that he’s just sick and twisted. But all the others, I like/love.
Finally boring episode as usual too.. bye bye Callum & ben too.. finally. All Mitchell's too please. Via Phil's & kathy & Sharon's prison soon too & can't wait.
What a stupid question. No Ballum without Max and Tony
Ballum is finished now…Callum really is only, “Halfway” now!
I swear there have Been 3
Ben Mitchell’s who have left the show via going to prison 😂😂
Max is a talented man who deserves his role please bring him back some day and never replace him ❤
I agree but they didn’t renew his contract so at some point they’ll bring in a new actor.
Ben was never my favourite character after the whole human trafficking thing, so I'm glad he's gone. But even I have to admit the exit felt fast. Last week he was A ok, and within 4 episodes he's being extradited without a proper goodbye to his family other than Callum.

1977 Callum and Johnny will be good together
Bring him back ❤❤❤❤ never change this actor
I'm devastated over this😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔

No. It’s clear Eastenders has a toxic environment. They have no intention of making Eastenders better.
I can't believe this is how Eleven exits 😭😭
He’s the best Ben Mitchell there’s ever been and it’s a shame Tony is losing a best friend so is Jamie as well also not to think of Isabella who has only known max as an on screen dad she’ll be heartbroken 😢
It’s a tv show. He’s not really going to prison. I’m sure they can still keep in touch with him 😂
Gonna miss ballum 😢💙💙😭
Fake Ben Is Finally Gone
Ben's exit story and let Callum heartbreak
Gonna miss them so much💔
Max is an amazing actor! I can't imagine anyone else in his place being Ben... Ballum is only Max&Tony
Callum finally realising what a narcissist Ben is.
What does a narcissist mean?
@@robertdavies6630 self pitying person who brings on their own problems yet plays the victim.
@@addiasfan2279 not good is it
to be fair mate you DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE HIM 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Looks like it’s all over between Ben & Gallum he’s off to a nightmare prison in America.
Hi everyone I can’t get this show in Australia so I have to live through clips. How did Ben end up inside ?
Credit card fraud.
@@BallumOfficial Ty 🙌 I expected his exit to be a lot more gangster
Wgen he went to America last year (looking for a miracle cure for Lola). He used someone else's credit card to buy luxuries (expensive hotel, expensive restaurant, petrol, etc.).
Ballum are endgame ❤
They could of easily kissed through those bars.
What a stupid exit for your soap superstar and most loved couple!

He deserved a better exit plotline than this! I’m not even a fan of Max (actor) or Ben (character). But this detracts from the integrity of the show
Reminds me of Justin from Waterloo Road when he hits his dad’s girlfriend and gets put in a cell for a day

I think this is the writing out of Ben under this actor
Yep it is they haven’t renewed his contract. Something to do with his behaviour off screen.
We know it is. It was announced a few months ago.
@@BallumOfficial shame I liked the actor wen he was in Waterloo road.
Ben will come back one day
Hopefully does not come back please via new face actor's/actress as usual too.. locked up in prison forever... thanks annoying writer's or appreciate it's.
@@PortalAsh80cool video and harry reid return
Nooo Ben Is A Rubbish Character
Ben won’t be back under this actor his contact hasn’t been renewed
Can't see that happening be different Ben next time if that happens
When is Ben back?
Please give max another chances hes the best ben mitchell
I love you 😘"

Forever the best eastenders couple! they were the only reason i watched the show 😢
Yes😂
I love Ben and callum. Sadly awful storyline😢
Finally next boring brannings
Slater's
Carter's etc &, the list goes on.
If only they’d do a complete reboot with new likeable families who don’t cheat on their partners or have kids with multiple surnames
Why don’t you 2 watch something else instead then
Not looking good
Finally!! The Fake Ben is finally gone!! Let's rejoice guys!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
He’s the best ben
@@claire-w4s No Harry Reid was a million times better!
Reckon hes gonna get recast in 2025
This is a major error on someone's part, such a pathetic story line to write this character out on. Wont be watching any longer.
The actor got sacked so they had to. Hence the rushed stupid storyline
@@allisonday893He was told at end December 2023 that his contract was not being renewed. So they had all of Jan and Feb
@@CodeDeb presume he had to work out his contract and neither party wanted to invest much more time so they hashed out this rush job 😊
Finally the most boring and toxic couple are over for good.
Finally boring episode as usual too.. bye bye Callum & ben too.. finally.
All Mitchell's too please. Via Phil's & kathy & Sharon's prison soon too & can't wait.
It serves him right if ben can't do the time then he shouldn't have done the crime give it a year or 2 and ben will probably be back with a face
