This is the thread you need, especially with the storyline that's brewing:

EE: Poor, sweet, little Ben Mitchell

He used to annoy me too. But i think now that I've grown to be ann oyed by this spoilt brat of a boy called Ben whose incredible jealous and insecure rather than any problems with the actor which in a way i suppose you could say would actually mean that the actor is doing quite a good job as at least he's being consistent and being true to the character.
If they are replacing him and they bought in a darling angel of a boy it just wouldn't fit that character of the part would it. For the part being played the current actor is fine.
You see when the new one arives they'll be threads on here moaning about the new one.

He's only young. I am enjoying the storyline with him and Stella.

He's not a great actor, but he's improved since he first came into it.

Why do you say that??

I think he's cute, his acting is a bit erratic but he's got time to learn his stuff I guess.

Thing is, in the storyline, he had meningitus when he was very young

so he is playing the part of a kid who not only had meningitus - which left him a bit slow, but he had to come to terms with his mothers death

so he is bound to be quiet, shy, e.tc...

i sometimes find him irratating but when you look at the characters background, losing his mother and step father, leaving the country he only knew and then met his real father and half brother who he never knew, is quite hard for a child that young, hes bound to feel vulnerable, i think thats the reason he does not want stella around as he thinks he might lose his dad, for a child that young you have to understand where hes coming from.

It's not an excuse. There are child actors who are much better than adult ones and you only have to look at other soap kids (Abby Branning, David Platt, Tom) to realise that "he's only young" is no excuse.
I cant stand him.

I find him an "ok" actor, he's bearable to watch if you know what I mean

Why can he not still be in it? Surely Lucy, Peter, Abi, Lauren, Darren, Libby etc still go to school

Can't act? His change in the London Dungeon from sulky brat to rather relieved frightened small boy when he finally found Stella again was excellent. i was very impressed by that. He's a kid, when all's said and done, and it's hard for a kid to act convincingly. He does okay and I think he has a good future ahead of him. I didn't like him either until the London Dungeon scene, but he did that very well and changed my opinion.

I wouldn't say that. I've seen some fantastic child actors. He isn't one of them.

He isn't outstanding, but he isn't downright awful. He is better than many kids his age! Just go and watch some of the school plays (primary schools that is!!) Bless them, they try a little too hard! lol
