Has the Ben/Lola/Lexie situation been addressed????? |

She came back yesterday, and tbh I didn't miss Lola at all. I'm interested to see where they're taken Ben, but if it's a predictable relationship with Johnny, then yawn.

I cant believe the writers have skated over the fact Lola took off because Ben was back! Ben and Phil weren't even interested in the fact that she returned. Ben has never met Lexie, she is his daughter and there is no way Phil wouldn't be pushing his involvement! Obviously Ben wouldn't be romantically interested in Lola but I don't believe for a second that he wouldn't be slightly intrigued about Lexie.

Ben saw Lola and Jay in the Vic yesterday while he was with Abi and quietly said to them that he didn't intend to get involved with Lexi at all so she didn't need to worry.
I hated Lola's scene with Dean and Stacey though, I don't know why everyone's expected to bend over backwards because she's a single mum, especially when it's her own fault for leaving the job without any notice.

Ben has met Lexi. Lola took Lexi to prison to see him. I think they're currently overwhelmed with the amount of stories they have to get through. They brought Ben back, but because of all the unresolved situations that Ben has on the square they've got to block the storytelling a bit.
I don't even think we've seen Ben and Ian interact |

The Ben & Ian relationship was briefly explored at the very beginning when Ben initially returned. Ian was told he'd come back at some point (either by Sharon or Phil).
But yes, there's been no character interaction in any meaningful sense between Ian and Ben following on from this as far as I can recall. Ian may have briefly said hello to Ben at one point (as far as I can remember - though this may not have happened, of course). Thinking it did at some point, albeit briefly, but other than that there's been no interaction betwee Ian and Ben at all - that is quite correct, true. |

What I don't understand is Ben cut Phil off and allegedly only returned because Ben wanted to convince Phil of his love of Shirley only to a 180 and decide he preferred Sharon WTF?

What's with Ben and his saying he "went through a phase" when he's clearly interested in Johnny?

I'm very unsympathetic to Lola in this situation. She is not Lexi's only parent. She may dislike or fear Ben but that's who she chose to make a baby with. She is hurting her daughter by obstructing any relationship with her father. Lola has done this since she first announced her pregnancy and told Ben the baby wasn't his.

I'm sure both Ben and Ian had some interactions at Pharon's wedding reception?
But if you say so & recall this to be the case (you've a better memory than I) - I can well appreciate that this may well have actually happened. Just can't really remember any of this, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any wedding interaction between Phil and Ben - there could well have been (really for the benefit of any other FM's who are unclear of Ben and Ian's interactions; reading this & wondering about it since Ben came back, as I was earlier).

Possibly - this could well be the case, just simply can't recall if it happened or not. Personally cannot recall anything like that at the wedding, as the Pharon wedding seemed to be dominated by other things.

I'm largely unsympathetic to Lola because she was trashy enough to have an "experiment" in a launderette with her third cousin once removed of all people, making Lexi a relation to herself. She also whines on about being a single mother, but what else did she expect? She knew Ben was gay and that they'd never be a couple. She has it a lot better than other single mums, as she always has Phil as a safety net. While Cindy currently has Ian bankrolling her child, he is of no blood relation to her or the child (he would have been the Great, Great Uncle had Beth been Liam's) and could potentially decide that he's had enough at any time.
The one bit of sympathy I have for Lola is that she didn't know that Ben was a stalker, or that he would become a killer; when she slept with him. |

I think they shared a hug at the reception party and that was about it. It certainly wasn't any extended interaction.

That's perfectly understandable, like _elly001 has said it may have been just a brief hug but my memory isn't that great either!
![]() Thank you for your kind reply ![]() ![]() A pleasure to reply to it - your response about their interactions at the wedding was the thing that caught my attention in the thread mainly, so just wanted to respond to that really

Just a complete joke how such critical stories are forgotten! It really does show people that DTC isn't as great as they say he is.

Of course Ben met Lexi: he helped deliver her. Also I can see where they're going with it, probably do the whole: "I'm a terrible person, I'll ruin her the way my dad ruined me, blah blah" stuff with Ben.

I hated Lola's scene with Dean and Stacey though, I don't know why everyone's expected to bend over backwards because she's a single mum, especially when it's her own fault for leaving the job without any notice.
