Ben's had so many head changes you past caring about the character. Not that I gave a dam about him in the first place.

Appalling. He works with one of the best actors on the programme in Steve McFadden but clearly hasn't learnt much about acting from him. Embarrassing to watch.

He can be really good.
Tonight was weird, I think. After his last rampage, kicking a market stall, they were trying to recreate it. It was weird. He pulled some very odd faces. |

I've often said Harry is very good but tonight he was awful, I was cringing watching him staggering about.

He was extremely poor. I have seen plenty of bad acting over the years but this was just terrible. He plays anger really badly. Usually he just shouts, but this scene required more and he failed. Right from the moment Abi said she lost the baby, his acting went down the drain. His facial expressions, his weird walk, the way he was vandalising, his attempt at punching the bins and then breakdown in Paul's arms, it was awful.
I wonder how many takes they did before they settled with that. He wasn't the only one tonight, there were a few bad pieces of acting on show. I wish the actors would just act more realistically. These days they are either playing anger, sadness or awkwardness. There is no natural flowing conversations, it's just constant dramatics. |

He's usually very good, but tonight (Monday) was not one of his better performances.

His 'rampage outside the pub was somewhat pathetic

His breakdown with Paul was funny, so was his 'limp walk'. I think Harry is fine but I don't know what happened tonight, the scenes after he found out the 'baby' died were pretty cringey.

His walk across Bridge Street was like Harry Reid does the Monster from Frankenstein.

He was certainly a bit off last night.

Atrocious as per usual but even more so last night
All of DTC's young actors under his reign have been terrible |

Sometimes he's good but he has a tendency to ham it up, and last night was one of those occasions. He looked possessed when he was screaming outside the Vic.

I've just had to Iplayer it because I didn't see the episode but that was hilarious. Obviously not supposed to be funny, but I can't believe they didn't reshoot that bit!

The straight legged walk had me in stitches. And the peering at Abi's belly like he was waiting for something to happen

Only in a soap would a scene like that even be acceptable. Any other actor put in a performance like that in a movie or television series, it would be reshot until right. That's why soap actors and soap acting in general is looked down upon.

He was so bad it was funny!. Frankenstein's monster had nothing on him.
Whoever directed him in those scenes should go back to directing school. |

His facial expressions are exrtraordinary. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. And the character is so pathetic you can only fear for the future of the Mitchells. Let's hope they've done a better job casting Louise.

The staggering through the square in rage was hilariously awful.

I'm glad I am not the only one who thought this xD was so weird the way he reacted to Abi's news. I cringed so hard with second hand embarrassment.

I have to agree with most. It was embarrassing watching it. He has no idea how to act and I really think a new head transplant is needed, or he takes a break and goes back to acting classes. Sounding a right b1tch but really that was appalling. Felt sorry for Jonny Labey (Paul) last night, you could see he had no idea how to get the scene back on track.
