I'm thinking an homophobic attack, they was making a big deal out of it tonight with them kissing and holding hands in public.

Yes, I think that this is likely as they have made a very big deal about Ben wanting to hide his feelings in public to now going the opposite end of the spectrum.

They couldn't have made it more obvious! would have been much better to have not done the tattoos or referenced the fact that only ben has his wallet.

Do we get to see it
I'm guessing it's unlikely, ben and Paul holding hands and smiling is the last we'll get to see of them together. I doubt they are going to show the attack or what happens anyway, just the aftermath. They did this when Nigel's wife Debbie was killed off years ago. she went off to work and was then hit by a car but the viewers didn't get to see anything and the impact was just as it would have been for nigel - one minute she was there the next she wasn't. Will be the same for Paul. Or Ben. Or both of them? No, just Paul!

I know they haven't said outright what happens but they haven't exactly been subtle in the lead up to it! They might as well have just printed the whole plot synopsis! I would have much preferred it if they hadn't given ANYTHING away - not even ben's family being told he's dead. Could you imagine just watching it on Monday, not having a single clue that are about to be told ben's in hospital. We'd be like what the.... Where did THAT come from. As it is the shock value has gone and the impact won't be the same.

Knowing what happens next week, I have to say they've set it up very well.

There were lots of subtle hints tonight which will play key parts next week.

For a departing producer or for a new guy taking the reigns... I applaud you both.

It's a well planned and thought out plot.

I can't wait to watch it.

What is on my mind, is if one of them is in hospital where is the other one when it happened? And if it is a case of mistaken identify surely not just by the tattoos??

Anyway looking forward to seeing how it all turns out!

Paul had Ben's mobile, my guess is that Paul is the one who dies, but the hospital think it's Ben, as they find the mobile, and the tattoo and his finger, I also think Ben hasn't been found.

Also, Paul didn't take his wallet so he'd have no ID on him.

Yep good thought. Assuming then because of all the affection last night towards Paul it will be some sort of attack on either one or both.

Yes, the fools at Eastenders have ruined t because we KNOW Paul's character is leaving so it's obviously a mix up. Nothing new for the NHS anyway!

There are bound to be holes in this storyline (there usually are with EE) but, because much was made of Ben having 'Paul' tattooed on his finger and Paul having 'Ben' tattooed on his, I would guess that initially there'll be a case of mistaken identity, where it's believed that Ben is critical but actually it's Paul who's on life support.

Paul also has Ben's phone so I'm guessing that's what they use to 'id' him. They must look through the contracts and decide to phone 'mum' as it's Kathy's phone that gets called. Can't help but think if they have identified Paul as Ben then ben wasn't taken in with him, otherwise the hospital would have been able to work out who was who or they would have double checked the id's. So that just leaves the question - where 's ben?

I think, but hope I'm wrong (as it would be so heartbreaking considering last week's scenes) that it will be a homophobic attack and Paul will die

If it's a homophobic attack it will be all the more tragic, because it will undo all Ben's progress, and push him back in the closet.

Also, this just sucks alla around. It's unbelievable how much this whole thing is depressing me! These writers are mean.

If that's the case, aren't the writers being a bit irresponsible... or insensitive perhaps? It'll send the message that being open about your sexuality will kill/harm you, and you should stay in the closet.

But then, on the flip side, it'll show how brutal homophobia can be and will therefore hopefully change a few opinions (in a good way).

I just don't want Paul to die.

I was talking to my mum about this storyline at the weekend. First of all this is a bit of an aside before I address your post but bear with me: Just out of interest I said to her, "Have you heard that Ben is supposed to die next week?" She had no idea that Ben was even rumoured to die, so I do think that for 'casual' EE viewers who watch it every day but don't really have the opportunity to read spoilers, it will be a genuine shock for them when they watch the episode, are told Ben dies, and then find out the truth that it's actually Paul.

Anyway, back on topic: we were then discussing how someone like Ben would die, and she said "I did think it was a bit weird how they were making so much of Ben showing public affection in the last episode, like something was about to happen. But surely it won't be a homophobic attack? They just don't happen in this country anymore." Those were her genuine words. A lot of people believe that because we live in a time when being gay is generally accepted in the media and on TV, that homophobic attacks simply don't happen anymore, even though there are plenty of statistics to show they do.

My gut feeling is that if it is a homophobic attack, the attackers won't have planned to kill Paul but complications with his diabetes cause him to die. This may also be how Ben's family realise it wasn't Ben who was killed, when the doctor starts talking to them about his diabetes and the penny drops for them.

It's going to be really hard to watch this week but I'm glad they're doing this storyline, if it does turn out to be a homophobic attack.

Yes it seems that a lot of people think homophobia doesn't really exist these days just because the nation is generally more accepting of homosexuality compared to 40 years ago. Good theory about the diabetes! I have to say I'm glad they both got tattoos of each other's name on Friday - it is a nice way to give Paul a bit of a legacy.

I think EE is going to be unmissable this week. I'm just disappointed that Johnny Labey left/Paul was written out since him and Ben have really come into their own recently as a couple.

If it is a homophobic attack, it will surely be pretty big as one of DTC's last storylines. Aside from Peggy's death (plus Grant returning) and Bobby being brought to justice, he has been in cruise control in recent times. Such a sad and hard hitting topic indeed.

Weird if Paul gets written out in such a horrific way, after spending over a year wasting the character.
