Is anyone else finding it really difficult to adjust to the new interpretation of the characters? I think it would have been easier if they'd either changed just how they look or just how they behave but with them being totally different I keep thinking they're new characters.
Maybe they're planning on marrying them off to each other, having Lauren have a baby by someone else and having a "Not Mitchell" Mitchell.:D
But the way things have been going, the dad would have to be Jack and seeing as they're uncle and niece that'd just be wrong!:eek:

New Lauren talks, walks and acts like Old Lauren, only less rubbish.
No one said anything about him being a mini-Phil, I think many people would hate that, but the old Ben just didn't mash in, acting-wise, that's what I meant.
new-Lauren has just fitted straight in IMO and it saves me having to wonder every episode how come Lauren has got olive skin and is smaller than Abbey!
getting more used to Lauren now
I can't make any sense of what you've just wrote.
The new Ben is going to take some getting used to though. The actor doesn't seem bad, I just find it so difficult to deal with the personality overhaul. I get that they want to show that prison changed Ben, but that much? Ben isn't a hardman. He listens to showtunes and dresses up as Lady Gaga.
I agree, the new Lauren is far too angsty.
I'm sick of her constantly miserable face.
And what does she do all day? She's not at college or working?
Lauren is pretty much the same character, just better acted and a lot more open and loud. She's the same as she was last year - but a better written character.
As for Ben, dear Lord. Awful!
As for Ben, dear god I thought the old one was bad, but at least that character had some redeeming qualities, this new one is horrendously bad
New Lauren - Can't stand her, as it has been previously mentioned, maybe its due to her vandetta against Stacey.
The New Ben is growing on me - he's not done a lot yet, but by certain comments you can tell he still is the old Ben(Wanting approval from his dad, musicals etc)
For those who query why the change in character happened too, both characters went through life changing experiences that evolved them as people, albeit different on scale.
Ben was obviously in an environment where if you aren't toughened up you won't survive, so his character now having balls of steel is no surprise. But when he was back, Jane offered to take him to a show and he nodded, so he's not completely changed. And Lauren obviously was in America, different culture and everything and it obviously had a big effect on her too.
