Yes, he is overused but Ben Mitchell is the result of almost-genius writing. When you continue to feel sorry and forgive a character who is so awful and scummy just because of his terrible childhood, that’s when the writing for a character is good. He and Tiffany are the future.
I think Ben might be one the last truly complex character. Eastenders just don’t seem to be able to write them like that on that level anymore
They need to fuck Tiffany and Keegan’s relationship off. Maisie is one of the strongest on the show. Bianca’s daughter deserves better. If the actress stays then the show MUST give her content because she is an icon in the making.
Lexi is the only child character with an actual personality and if they write the character right she has potential to be an interesting character due to her Mitchell links& inevitably we’re going to see the future turbulent father-daughter relationship. Den and sharon vibes
But no where near as iconic as Den and Sharon of course. Don’t drag me. I have a feeling she is either going to be a super bitch or a nice character conflicted with Ben’s behaviour.
Ruby Allen needs a storyline. She is Johnny Allen’s daughter and nobody can touch her! More of that please! Jay should fuck Lola off and sniff around Ruby again; they were actually decent together.
For the love of fucking god make Stacey get her tubes tied! They should have just given her Lily, fuck the rest of the kids, they aren’t needed huns. Stacey is so much more than a mother so treat her with respect please!
Kayden being a Watts-Mitchell is an opportunity that they cannot pass up on...they must make that child Phil’s.
Can they give Amy a personality please?? She’s Roxy Mitchell’s daughter. She is like 12/13 why does she act like she is 5?? Act your age luv. Another character with future potential. Make her a party girl who loves her Es and coke...make her give Jack hell! It’s what he deserves
For fuck’s sake, stop making Whitney a victim. Enough is enough! Make her a little bit bitter but whilst still maintaining her good heart. Let her manage a club or set up a proper business and live alone and single for at least a year I beg of you!
If they aren’t going to give Lola a storyline then fucking hell get rid. Capable actress but the character who I actually like is turning to shit. If they want to keep Lexi then send Lola travelling alone make out she feels like she’s missed out as a young mum. It’s OOC but idc
Continue to humanise Phil, let him and Sharon get divorced but get back together with Sharon refusing the remarry him and she keeps the WATTS name and her name is above the Vic doors please!
Back to the kids again, give the kids their own little storylines like Ben, Lucy, Peter and Abi used to have. It can be done in those silly filler eps instead of seeing Jags eat and Keegan buttering bread slices. Also do the kids on the square not have any friends anymore?
Just fuck off Jags. That’s it.
If they write Dotty well she could be an interesting character with longevity and could be a BTEC Janine
Get rid of Max ASAP. The only person who should have custody of the non-existent baby Abi should be Tanya. I MIGHT be able to allow Rainie to have her depending on what the writers do with her as a character.
I just know that Kathy Beale hates living with Ian. Let her move out into a flat of her own. She should also be more arsed about Ben seeing as she’s missed half of his life and development. It’s all very fishy huns when Ben was supposed to be a mummy’s boy and take after her.
Bring in a normal nice supporting character for Kathy who she can either be friends with or be with. We need more middle aged-to elderly characters. If they’re on the older side then make them realistic, not every old person nowadays has a walking stick and dresses old yknow
Have they just forgotten about Ben and Jay’s bond huns? Also why didn’t we see more of Jay giving Ben shit for the hit on Keanu. The Jay we know would have ripped Ben to pieces but no all we got was a, “You did what?!?!”
Can we stop making every female on the square pregnant? Can we just not have a few women in their 30s with no kids and acknowledge that not all women want to a have children.
Can we also stop marrying every fucking couple? It’s fine that they’re inevitably going to marry B and C (cba for them all to find this) as it will be the first gay marriage as Chyred was a civil partnership. Not every couple wants to get married. It’s 2020
They better make sure that Chantelle gets murdered. Not everyone gets out alive. Axe the Taylors after this...I may allow Keegan to stick around. I’d quite like him to be successful business wise just keep him away from Tiffany please.
A Kim Fox return please
Cut the gangster shit please! The Mitchells have never really been gangsters...they’ve just been really dodgy so stop trying to turn them into a BTEC mafia. The show has never been able to pull off gangster storylines...this is pre-watershed BBC not Netflix so stop trying!
Give the characters jobs outside of the square please. Blow a bit of budget by filming outside of studios please...save up and let’s send some characters abroad on holiday like ya used to. Let’s see the Mitchells in Portugal and see what all the fuss is about
We had years of the Carter show & after spending years not being too keen they have really grown on me. This is the most that I have ever liked Mick. Linda is the icon we didn’t know that we needed. Make Mick a more supporting character and let Linda to continue to take the lead
I think it is safe to say that Ben’s trafficking days have been silently retconned by the show due to hearing crickets about it during Danny’s return but they should have written the retcon into the show as the show blatant silent erasing something like that is a bit insensitive
It was just cheap writing and was so ooc even for someone as fucked up as Ben. Like what the actual fuck was that?!
It’s disgusting that Pauline hardly ever gets mentioned like are the writers okay?
All of these hints at everyone turning to Callum with their problems and him probably failing his assessment screams that he is going to snap and lose it. Give him his own storyline and life without it being all about Ben. Give Callum a breakdown; let Tony shine!
Bring back Courtney Mitchell. Use the same actress because she actually looks like her muva
