All this while i couldn't relate to Ben's acting, I always thought he was just a weak and bad actor. Who would make a scene the opposite to what it's supposed to be

But today he gets my respect as an actor, the way he broke down at Billy's place the minute they left him alone with Jay, was just brilliant. Really quite powerful evoking emotion

He's always struck me as a fair enough actor, a bit inexperienced, and consistently getting better. By now I think he's pretty good.

He has been great this week.

I've always liked him.

I think Harry Reid is fantastic as Ben. i couldn't take to the previous incarnation of Ben but Harry has really got him just right. He and Jamie Borthwick are great together and I hope we see them both on the square for a while yet!

Couldn't agree more

He's been brilliant this week. It's been such a sad story and has been written and acted much better than I was expecting. Almost cried tonight.

He's OK. I didn't like his scene with Jay but the rest was OK. The Ben and Johnny thing is really annoying.

His reaction is by far the best scene since Ronnie and Danielle's death. That almost had me in tears, but Ben's outburst had me crying the entire episode and the next episode too, and I'm not one to get emotionally involved with TV shows. I knew Harry Reid had it in him to be this powerful with his acting. It was truly amazing. So realistic it hurt - emotionally!

Also, Harry Reid looks tres sexy sexy without glasses.

I've always liked him.
A bit hammy at certain times, but overall I love him as Ben.

I wouldn't like anyone else playing the role.

I love his brother relationship with Jay. Its lovely to watch.
