I miss Ben, one character that brought the drama. Max portrayal of Ben was outstanding he was a good mix of the young Ben who loved to sing and dance, you could see it in his interactions with Lexi, and the person who loved with all his heart was there with Callum but also someone beaten down by years of trauma. Max did a brilliant job capturing all the different forces pulling at Ben and what made Ben the way he is. Hope Max as Ben will be back some day.
Long overdue tribute to a ridiculously talented actor who poured his heart into this role and MADE it ICONIC with his nuanced portrayal of Ben's complexity. As much as it pains me to think we'll probably never get Ballum back (and that means Tony+Max, nobody else compares!), I'm glad to see Max has moved on to new interesting projects for him to fully display his brilliancy. 💙 I still love Callum to bits, but it's not the same... It's your loss, Eastenders (and ours).
I've always loved Ben and the various actors that played him, but as I've said on previous videos Max Bowden's portrayal of Ben will always be my favourite. He brought such range to the character showcasing both Ben's charisma and inner turmoil. I was sad to see both Ben/Max leave the show, hope it it wasn't the last we have seen of Ben and hopeful Max will reprise the role some day.
MMMMAAAXXXX is the 🐐 of Ben Mitchell. No one can hold a candle. Just kill the character off if he’s not returning. He is EXCELLENT. The man has more charisma in his pinkie finger than a lot of other leads have in their entire body. I miss Ben so much. I miss Ben & his other relationships so much. I miss Ben Callum so much.
I agree there. They wouldn’t leave the character alone for 2 minutes. But that’s the show’s fault. Not the actor or character’s fault. And some people don’t seem to be able to grasp that the show overdid it w Ben … and that the actor or even the character aren’t to blame 😂. But the show itself. Hopefully when he returns, his character can focus on his relationship with his kid & husband and less on torturing him
He was one of the best actors the show has ever had, and it just isn't the same without him and Ballum. They were such great representation. Please don’t recast him, it would ruin their legacy.
Max est le meilleur Ben Mitchell, je veux qu'il revienne 😭😭 mais en même temps, je déteste Eastenders en ce moment donc je lui souhaite tout le bonheur du monde avec ses futurs projets. Juste merci à lui, pour ses 5 ans de Ben ❤ MON PERSONNAGE DE CONFORT 😊😊😍
One of the best actors this show has ever had. And his partnership and chemistry with Tony was one of the main reasons for the most famous gay couple in soaps in recent years. Then, because of the stupid decision of a bad executive producer, he was fired and the couple was destroyed. I'm glad Max is happy and doing other things. I hope he becomes more and more successful and doesn't have to go back to this crappy show.
Callum is good enough to make up to you but he want more away from you Ben is in prison for very long time in prison for that he did Wong he himself down. For it was not very good choice is it do love you but want to do that is you not coming back to left for good now Lucite white
No, a rape victim does not deserve to be in prison when he's so vulnerable. It was a ludicrous, shoehorned storyline that retconned his personal growth from the past few years to facilitate a rushed and undeserved exit.
@@BallumOfficialkilled Heather and did less than two years, probably did need to pay for what he’s done. Bearing in mind he was involved with human trafficking aswell
@@BallumOfficial my point was he deserves to be in prison for his violent crimes in the past it doesn't really matter that they got him for something else he's still receiving a punishment that is deserved for his past crimes which he got away with.
He doesn’t have any highlights he was most self centred character there’s ever been people only like him because he’s gay nothing else if he was straight everyone would hate him he made Lola’s death all about him, laundered money, attacked countless people including his own Nephew Peter, killed an innocent women in Heather and the list could go on but because of his sexuality none of it seems to matter.
Don’t like it, don’t watch it. Max won several awards for Eastenders which proves that your opinion is pretty much irrelevant. Ben’s the main character, get over it.
@@justaperson2222I do watch it far better now that moaner isn’t it all the time with his constant pitty party and he was never the main character that’s Phil so get ur facts right they got rid of Ben easily because even the writers didn’t want him around anymore.
@JDillon03MUFC Unfortunately on UA-cam if you comment on a show's official channel & your opinion isn't all positive as if everything that they do is a masterpiece or every character isn't great or every performance not a masterclass in acting then the comment-section comes for you, it's both hilarious & tragic. 😂
Both the actor & character are a huge loss to the show. Whenever Ben comes back (just not in this current era, cos 🫤) 🤞🏾it’s Max they bring back to play him.
Absolutely iconic and a phenomenal actor. Max Bowden come back we need you.
Here here, can't agree more.👏
Max Bowden is the best. Bring him back. The show is not the same without him.
He was the gayest and not the best
He was the gayest, not not the best
@@tyson4307 he was the best actor. Ignore comments if you’re gonna respond with a stinking attitude.
The CHARACTER IS GAY 🙄
💯
@@BallumOfficial ❤️
No one comes close to Max’s portrayal of Ben- he’s the best!!
Max is one of the best actors who ever played ben and I will miss him

The best ❤❤ Hopefully he's back again one day.
No other Ben please. Max is the best!
Bring him back please 😢
He will at some point.
@Guitar-qv6gu it's not guaranteed, but hopefully 🤞🏻

Ben will be back. Max Bowden was sacked.
Max in a phenomenal actor, no other actor has portrayed Ben so well with the best storylines which he a smashed.
No other portrayal even comes close, so when Ben returns, it has to be him. He has been the best Ben by far ❤
Totally agree 😎👍
Nah that’s Harry Reid ur confused
@@JDillon03MUFC Max Bowden made Ben the popular character he is. He’s also a much better actor than Harry Reid.
Maybe they could a Sam/Peter and revert to a previous actor
@@pbworld7858 No. Max and Tony are Ballum. No one else could replace Max. It just wouldn’t work.
He’s the best. Miss him 😢
Our soap superstar ❤ he needs to come back 😢
Big mistake getting rid of Max. He is a phenomenal Actor
Max Bowden is so cute
Best Ben going, was a big fan of this actor in Eastenders.
He needs to come back, biggest mistake ever letting this ridiculously talented actor go.
He I’ll come back. The character hasn’t been written out forever. Max Bowden was sacked and will be replaced.
@@Guitar-qv6gumax is irreplaceable
@@justaperson2222 I know. But the actor was sacked.
@@Guitar-qv6gu so? Doesnt mean he can't go back in time
@Guitar-qv6gu you keep commenting this as if it's fact when you don't know anything.
MMMMAAAXXXX is the 🐐 of Ben Mitchell. No one can hold a candle. Just kill the character off if he’s not returning. He is EXCELLENT. The man has more charisma in his pinkie finger than a lot of other leads have in their entire body.
I miss Ben so much. I miss Ben & his other relationships so much. I miss Ben Callum so much.
Gonna miss ballum 😢 💙💙
Ben will be back.
@@Guitar-qv6guand I hope you never will be back on these comments again
While I agree at times there was too much too so thrown at Ben. Max as Ben was absolutely outstanding 🥇

They are recasting him. Max Bowden was sacked. i agree that he was the best Ben.
@@Guitar-qv6gu just because he was sacked does NOT mean they will recast. Steph davis was sacked on hollyoaks and then went back!
@@TeamMaxyB ignore that person. They're a troll.
@@BallumOfficialyou’re right there at least
About time you acknowledged Max’s contribution to this character and to this show. Such a huge mistake not to hang onto him.
Phenomenal actor. He portrayed Ben brilliantly.
BRING HIM BACK RN!

He was the best Ben Mitchell in my opinion. Better actor, made Ben a more rounded character. Shame Max got sacked for his off-screen shenanigans.

Best Ben by far, but it was time to go and nice to see Ben have to face the consequences of his actions for once
Bring max bowden bk ❤❤
Please bring him back please its like he was born to play ben mitchell
Nahhh we cant lose another familiar face :/
BRING BACK THE OLD BBC LOGO
Max was my favourite but ben will be back😊
Ben was a good actor I’d liked to of seen him take over from Phil and run is business
Me 2nd fave Ben Harry Reid and max Bowden are the best actors to play Ben Mitchell .
2026❤
We want camp bens best bits!!!!
Callum does love you Ben is in prison for life i love you Lucie
Does anyone know when hes returing
Like late 2024?
2025?
i still like Harry Reid too as well. both Harry & Max are the two best ben actors
