EE Harry Reid
Harry Reid is yet another actor to tackle the role of Ben Mitchell, what do you think of the re-cast now he has been around for long enough to make some sort of judgement?

He is Ben for me now, Harry has done really well in the role and importantly I think DTC has helped in fleshing Ben out more and making him more rounded. Under Charlie Jones he was a joke and then with Joshua Pascoe he was very cold. Harry had more charisma which I think Ben needed.

Harry Reid the actor is okay. Ben the character is vile....I think his initial portrayal by Charlie Jones has scarred me.

Charlie - Vulnerable
Joshua - Psychotic Harry - Jerk Ben is evolving certainly. |

I don't like the way he plays him. Ben has lost his vulnerability and is now just a cowardly scrote. His great relationship with Jay has also gone...there is no chemistry between the actors.

DS printed this interview yesterday
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2...peiBegTozcpoYh I think he is one re-cast that has worked really well and I prefer him over ben 4. He comes across well in the interview and seems to want to stick around so that is all good in my eyes. guess he had to wait for his storyline due to Sam Strike leaving but unlike other young actors today he has taken the chance to learn and be patient for a bigger storyline |

Perfect casting and it seems like Harry Reid is happy to stick around going by recent interview.

It took some time but I've accepted him as Ben. I think he works well with Jay too. I've more or less forgotten the previous Ben.

I've got use to him as Ben, tbh I don't think he been given enough material or a decent s/l to show us what he is capable of but I think he done alright so far, probably the best out of a bad bunch. |

The actor is fine, I just don't like the character that much. I just don't see anything to him that makes me feel sympathetic (apart from the fact that Abi is so determined to wish him straight.)
Still think they are setting up Ben to be the one to eventually oust Phil from his pedestal. Might be a while down the road, but it's something I really think they are setting up. |

Personally I think he has done very well but the weeks to come will be very telling, the Paul storyline has to be right both from Harry and the writers

His best performance was the flashback to the night Lucy died.

Will never like the character, but Harry has done a great job of slipping into the role.

Simply dreadful but his attitude to the character is good.
Why Pascoe was never asked back, is something i will always wonder about. I know the actor was accused of molesting a young boy but there was zero evidence and I think it was thrown out of court. Going by his twitter, he still acts and has a fiance. |

He's better than the two previous incarnations, but that isn't saying much.
The character of Ben is just inherently unlikeable. It really doesn't matter who portrays him, I cannot warm to the character at all. |

Its funny how alot of you are saying you don't like Ben because Harry Reid says he doesn't like Ben either and that he isn't meant to be liked, which must mean he is doing his job well
