The Charlie Jones/ 'old' Ben Mitchell appreciation thread
I miss him, possibly the most the most inadvertently funny soap character ever.

Thanks for those clips, I really enjoyed seeing him again.

Love the old Ben too. He was cast excellently for the character he was supposed to be, i.e. sensitive, kind natured, leanings towards the theatrical life etc. His acting during the Stella goings-on was totally believable and his cheeky charm with the ladies was adorable. If Charlie had to leave because of schooling commitments, its a shame they didn`t put his part on hold until he could resume his acting career.
The recast was one of the biggest flops ever. It was an absolute insult to viewers intelligence to introduce a totally unrecognisable Ben who was so far removed from the real Ben that it just never clicked into place. And what`s more - they have wasted all the potentially good storylines which would have involved Ben developing into an adult that would totally grate on Phil`s idea of a `man`. It would have been wonderful to see Phil`s face as his son developed into an all singing, all dancing successful career (without necessarily having to be gay). |

Thanks guys for the YT links
I would love Charlie to come back. Proper Legend! Did anything come of the whole alleged bullying incident with Joshua? |

I love the slapping down one. I was on the tube once and someone had it as a ring tone! PMSL
EE should never have recasted. The character has been sucked away under this new lad and I find him really boring thesedays. |

I miss old Ben. He was one of my favourite characters. No insult to Joshua Pasoce, I just think they should kept Charlie Jones and cast him in a different role. I miss the way old ben would make Phil squirm when he behaved in a way that was the antithesis to Phil's idea of masculinity. Phil's uneasiness is gone now.
