It may very well be what unites them, as apparently Ben is to take her reappearance badly

She will probably be more supportive and accepting then Phil, but then she got a lot of making up to do.

I don't think she'll care. Kathy was never shown to be a bigot in any way, she'll be supportive.

I doubt she'd mind - they kind of hinted that in the Ghosts of Ian Beale sketch by having Kathy say that Ben was going through stage school.

If she did have an issue with his sexuality, she really wouldn't have a leg to stand on. She's been separated from her sons for so long that she seems to desperate to have them back, if she gets them back and then has a hissy fit that Ben likes men (hey, that rhymes!), she'd lose a lot of sympathy anyone has for her.

I do however doubt that she'd have an issue, especially since Ben has already gone through it (and may have to go through it again) with Phil,

Kathy will be thrilled and asking Ben for fashion advice and booking her and Ben tickets for Les Miserable.

Even if she was that sort of person, I don't think it would matter in the slightest to her considering she hasn't seen him in about a decade.

Exactly right.

I think she'll be supportive and give Phil a kick up the bum about it. I agree that it will go some way to mend her relationship with Ben.

EDIT I also think she'll will be so overwhelmed at seeing Ben that anything else will seem easy to deal with once she's settled in. In any case I think she will be totally supportive.

Kathy couldn't care less. Her main issue will be how Phil's past actions about it are what led to him going back in the closet and feeling ashamed.

Perhaps the unconditional love and acceptance that Ben will receive from Kathy will help him love himself a bit more and be proud of who he is instead of trying to hide it.

I hope so, anyway.

I also think this. i don't think Kathy will care as she will just be pleased to have him back in her life. Also i do not think Sexuality is something Kathy would react badly too.

I also think Phil will handle it better then last time as 2 years past before Ben was released and backtracked to saying he was straight. That was enough time to get his head around it.

Abi is the only one that I think will react badly to this.

I'll repel Darth Ron with a Richard Blackwood CD, just as soon as the Charity Shop opens.

I'd be stunned if she wasn't accepting. Kathy was never portrayed as a bigot of any kind.

What about Samantha Janus' Eurovision single? Surely a few bargain bins still carry that one.

Or even a CD from Rita Simons' group Girls@Play

Alright then alternative punishment for you, tie you up and force you to listen to Anita Dobson's Anyone Can Fall in Love on a permanent loop, will that do it

I will be forced to beat you down with Nick Berry's poignant lament 'Every Loser Wins'.
