What a ridiculous thing to say. Your sexuality should not cone into it.
Cool whatever, I was just too excited, I loved Pascoe's Ben, I said this like a year ago, and a member questioned my sexuality!

I just unblocked you to see what you wrote, I should have known it would be something negative, blocked again! Get your facts right next time Please!!

I think the last recast wasn't done well, hope they get it right and think long term when casting the new man

Another Ben recast? Its getting beyond the joke now realism isn't Eastenders strong point. That's the main reason nobody cares about Lucy getting killed off because the current actress playing her was cast for her looks and couldn't act for toffee.
WUM-ing isn't your strong point, but carry on because it's funny and most on here have learned to dismiss your postss for the pointlessness that they represent

Personally I don't mind if Ben is recast or not. What I'd like to know is what they plan to do with the character.

That would be a long shot considering the last actor.

that is very true however Charlie Jones was this innocent kid who had been brought up by his Mam with no phil n his life. Slightly feminine and Phil embarrassed of him. Then Stella goes and messes with him to make the kid psycho, and poor charlie jones been new in the role just couldn't handle the psycho role very well.

The recast Ben was slightly tougher, but still not the overly confident mitchell kid you would expect to be the spawn of phil mitchell.

sorry id rather have one of the older bens back than a 3rd actor playing the part. it does get beyond ridiculous! have him stay away rather than give us a new face
They probably had to recast because of the last actors trouble with the police. And the fact he was awful.

Our Heavenly Pat which art in Heaven
Butcher be thy name
Deliver Johnny from evil psychopathic murderers called Ben
Lead him not into temptation
Of speccy four eyed weirdos
But show him the path of righteousness
By making out with his cousin Dean

Amen.
To be said three times a day

Phil sleeps with Shirl

So Sharon takes her revenge by sleeping with Ben

Sharon has another "miracle baby"

Phil gets another addition to his precious "faaaaaaaammmleeeey innit"

I agree with some that felt they should have killed the character off. I find it hard to accept a character when they have been recast more than twice as just when you get to understand that character then someone else comes in and no matter how they try and act the part, you are always making comparisons to the old one.

In this case the fact that they are now saying he is a reformed character is a big mistake. Prison rarely makes someone reformed, especially someone who has killed like Ben has.
If they completely change the look and make him bigger or more macho then I will switch off altogether. Right now I think the show is better than it was but its still not great and one bad casting or bad storyline is enough to put it back in trouble again.

Scrabbler is not 'attacking anyone on a personal level'.

He is just simply posting an observation that sexuality shouldn't really come into it when you like a particular soap character (not that it really matters if it does). There is plenty of male and female characters on EastEnders that I like. Does that mean I fancy them all?

Hole in one! It's funny just to see what rubbish comes next.
The FACT that the lucy storyline has seen EastEnders share and ratings rise. Grabbed its self 2 8m+
ratings and beaten Corrie a couple of times and has seen the share rise from 30-32% to 35/36% and bagged it's self 2 9million+ ratings in the officials aswell as generating chat shows that once again LR is talking rubbish. It's now neck and neck with Corrie too.

TBH I never watched it so I hadn't seem him in anything. I just assumed he had his mothers talents!

I'm excited for this, I enjoyed evil Ben. When he returns I hope they don't make him an outright villain, maybe prison could have changed him for the better but not too much I don't want to see him tap dancing around the Square.

No. He was a loathsome little brat in both his stints. Wish he'd stay away.
Agreed. I am also hoping the new Head they choose for him doesn't resemble Penfold so much ...
