    Ben was trying to save her. And he’ll have to live with Jay’s Anger for a while.

    Thank you. Instead of arguing and going on like Jay and Ben and ect…, they should be comforting each other and trying to get through this. I believe everything was done that could have been done, there’s a time to die. Lola wouldn’t want all this arguing. Blaming is not helping. Focusing on the best way to get Lexi through this together would be helpful. Keep Lola in their hearts and move forward in a positive way.

    a day late and a penny short.... the one thing ben is good at is 'abandoning' people he says he'll stand by. That is his super power. That and blaming others for his mistakes.

    Ben is grieving and like other characters he is grieving in his own way. Ben was scared that Lola will actually die, but coming home and getting Jays Anger isn't good. They're all grieving. But I unterstand Ben points here, that he wanted to help Lola to find a cure.

      @@abbieroseholden4174 I understand both sides here, Ben didn't understand that is the reality that Lola only have days to live. Jay and Ben will have a heated conversation, their tension is rising. I don't want their friendship to be ruined.

      ​@@abbieroseholden4174First stage in grief is Denial. And it is a big bear to tackle. Add in the mental health implications Ben is suffering from following the SA last year and the ED currently and the feeling of having no control over any aspect of his life I can understand how his desperation could push him to make the decisions he did. Was it the right decision for Lexi, no but it could well have been the only decision he could make when he was locked into denial over Lola's dying. For him to accept that the consultation in America was never going to work, requires him to accept that Lola was going to die, and he wasnt there yet. That's grief, stage 1. There are no rules to grief and everyone reacts differently. And no one way is right. That's the horrible nature of it.

      i'm on ben's side, even though deep down he knew it was too late and nothing could be done he still went out of his way to try and help lola so I think the others need to calm down, see it for what it is and get off his back.

    Horrible situation but Slightly better to live with the regret of not saying goodbye than feeling like you didn’t do all you could to help no matter what others say. Not everyone wants to deal with the pain of saying “goodbye” anyway.

    In experience, theres nothing anyone could do with someone with a terminal illness. Being there is number one. Everyone was there for Lola apart from Ben and her mum. Ben broke his promise and was a coward for not being there for his daughter, and her mum didn't care anyway. Jay had every right to say what he said.

Ben not being there was cause he was thinking of her not because he didn’t care that do not make him a coward y’all be just saying anything and it’s annoying who cares about her mom she barely knew her anyways but don’t put Ben in the same category

      ​@@malikmartinez1454 Ben deliberately didn't answer calls/messages from anyone including Lexi. He made no attempts to check in despite the severity of the situation. Lola could've passed at any time and his daughter needed him. There is no legitimate justification for Ben not staying in touch. Ben, did what Ben usually does. His 10 year old daughter even assumed he ran away. That was not because she believes her father to be reliable or emotionally responsible. What about what Lola wanted?
      Ben is not a medical professional, the patient, patient's spouse or guardian. What was he realistically going to accomplish with Lola being in England and so extremely ill? He abandoned Lexi/Lola for nothing.

And idc about what he did for her when she was first born everybody in was having a tough time and no he wasn’t there but things changed he’s very present and a good father everybody human and makes mistakes but he got a lot of trauma going on at once right so he’s battling but he’s definitely a great father and he didn’t abandon her

      @@malikmartinez1454 Ben didn't accomplish anything by going to the US. Did he save Lola? No! What did he accomplish? Absolutely Nothing! 😂 I don't care at all about Ben's trauma. Ben is a grown man who has done nothing positive to try and address that trauma. He's responsible for the decisions he makes. Whether, that's drug use, random hookups, criminal activity or his disappearing acts. His daughter should be his #1 Priority. Ben is Not a good father. What good parent would not at least stay in touch and check in with his kid? He couldn't be bothered to even answer the phone. Perhaps, you think that's being a good father but I think it's ok to have higher expectations than that. Lol!

    Jay needed to tell Ben as a friend and as a brother. If you look at it nobody wins bottom line. Jay's mad and upset that Lola died he oost his wife and best mate and he's trying to hold it together for Lexi and the family and all he wanted was Ben to be there with him and could he do that no. I even said Jay was going to kill Ben. I'm pretty sure in coming days Jay will probably hit Ben or fight him. Or even Billy.

    Jay doesn't really mean it he just angry and hurt and he just needed someone to take it out on and it just happened to Ben.
    I feel so bad for Ben though I so wanted him to get back in time so heart breaking that he is never going to get a proper goodbye but he kissed her goodnight. 💔💔💔
    I just hope he can get through this and Lexi through it.💔

    I agree with Jay but the writing is poor. The writers obviously know nothing about how a criminal record affects a character. This plot sloppy writing. EastEnders is a soap but Ben criminal record he wouldn't get permission to get into United States. He would need a waiver and permission not easy to get.Jay is correct Ben knew the drug trial a long shot. Ben couldn't handle Lola dying because he is irresponsible. It is Ben responsibility to raise Lexi he is the biological father. He ran away doing something. I got a feeling Ben was doing something else in America beyond just trying to help Lola.

    Ben was absolutely right and I’m fully agreed with him that whole way here when he says they should’ve fought harder for Lola. He was trying to do more for her than all of them combined ever did. Billy and Jay are more to blame for her death than her cancer was in my opinion

      ben is not right. he should say goodbye to lola not travel to usa. he should be next to his daughter than travel somewhere else. jay is right. jay is her husband not ben. ben not have right make decision on lola medical decision. ben should think more abut his daughter. he didn;t answer anyone call lexi too so if he answer the calls he would know to come back earlier.
