This current version is quite good. The actor is now adding Phil Mitchell mannerisms in quite a subtle and convincing way.

The previous Ben was beyond appalling.

I like Harry Reid as Ben.

He's one of my top 5 characters. Harry Reid is the first competent actor to play the role and has made the role his own, I just hope he stays for a long time to come.

He's not a strong actor, I rarely find him convincing. But I will give Harry his due in that he does at least try and that will enable him to improve.

I like him, he's turning into a proper hard geezer not to be messed with.

No longer a boy, a man.

I hope he stays 10-20 years as he is great for the show and Eastenders needs some young actors to stay around like the old guard have.

Ben is becoming a Great character

He has that mystique to him that the great actors of the past had.

I reckon he could become Walford's new Dennis Rickman !

I like him. I think he does a great job and have no issues with his acting.

Yeah I can see a lot of Phil mannerisms in Ben too. Quite clever really. This Ben is starting to grow on me. I didn't like him at first. I think he's getting better at acting.
