@@lukedaley17 When Harry Reid first appeared on the show I thought he was the best actor to have taken on the role so far! I was surprised that they recast him, Max Bowden's Ben was like a different character altogether although Max is a good actor.
Eastenders always seems to strip away Bens happiness in the show I mean just when he finally found someone that he cared for so much who he didn't have to hide his real character they completely ruined the bond they had
That's eastenders in a nutshell, remember when Ronnie's daughter (who she thought died when she was young) came to the square to find her and then once she revealed who she was they killed her off denying Ronnie of being a mother still...
He finally accepted it when Ben got with callum. Even defended them against callum's dad. Couldn't they have broken the news better to ben? And Phil saying friend
@@5eurocups2005you're a bullshitter and you know in your little head Harry is a brilliant actor. You have nothing and you're a single nothing. Wait till you're asleep before you start dreaming. 8 bedroom house and a wife? BULLSHIT. You're just JEALOUS. That's all it is.
This was the first time he has said that he loved Paul with no fear it’s so sad I have watched this scene over about a hundred times it still tears me up every time there relationship has taught me so much that I should just be me I always seem to be able to help my friends come out but then I can’t even do it myself but this show has shown me so much like I need to learn to accept myself like Ben and be with the one I love so I can tell my parents I don’t wanna have to do the whole coming out thing I just wanna come home one day and be like this is my girlfriend. Brilliant acting Harry much love ❤️❤️🏳️🌈🏳️🌈😭😭💔💔
@@therealistshow9335 yes a contradiction to say acting is real but that aint what i meant and you know it because why bother acting if you cant or wont show real emotions
Bloody acting is absolutely amazing in these soaps... all these glistening fake hollywood stars could not shed a or scrunch up their faces if their life depended on it
To me this was one of he worst stories ever on Eastenders, I can't understand WHY. they could have done a lot with Paul and Ben's story when is enough, enough when are the writes of these soaps going to realize that if you are going to do a gay story line stop being scared and do your stories I'm so tried of you make it like their lives and loves do matter. I'm not gay but I love gay people more then I do straight so I have seen it all and it hurts to know that other people don't understand how this story hits me to the heart Paul was the best, and the love he had for Ben unless you had no feelings at all you felt it, I am hurt on how you ended his life like it did not mean anything, Jonny Labey a beautiful person very talented he played Paul very well, he made me believe Paul was real, I will miss him, I looked forward to seeing Paul's story I can't stop crying, I am really hurting.
Graciesme not true I read on UK metro in an interview Johny admitted the show decision was to kill Paul. It is so sad because Ben and Paul had tremendous chemistry.
+Andrew Simpson Johnny Labey who played Paul had to leave as he was doing a theatre play. (I forget the name of it right now without searching the internet) I'm not 100% certain, but to me, it sounds like another project like this could make it quite awkward and way too much work if you're trying to commit to 2 acting jobs at once. So I guess EE writers e.t.c had to come up with a way to write Johnny out of the show because of this. It wasn't really a way I personally would have liked them to do it, but there we go. It was a very sad ending that hurt a lot of people's feelings as fans (including myself) and that's how it went. (Talk about "it's all doom and gloom" and all that. How very typical of them. :-/) Personally, I would've liked to have seen Ben leave with Paul, like they did with Chryed previously, (and I would end up missing them so much too) but there are people out there who complain when storylines are repeated over and over. So they had to come up with something I guess. Just wish it wasn't like that though. Anyway... I don't really know what "UK Metro" is. Sounds like a magazine or some such, so it's obviously something I've never read or looked at before. But, when things are written about people in magazines and newspapers e.t.c I usually tend to hear the phrase "don't believe everything you read in the papers/magazines" which I think is a true statement. So, what you read, if it was a magazine, then it might not have been completely true. If it wasn't a magazine though, I'm sorry if I got it wrong.
@@andrewsimpson5818 also as well johny labey isnt gay in reality and must have thought in real life he would become in danger from homophobes so he should leave eastenders before his safety in real life becomes in jeopardy as the gay scenes he considers was a bit too intense for all the homphobic eastenders viewers out there

This is why Ben couldn’t tell Callum how he really feels.
I’m constantly scared that something is gonna happen to Callum and Ben is gonna actually kill himself or something

I love how Stephen Roxy and Ian just stand there in the background lmao
Aaaaand now I’m sobbing like a baby... great 👍
Such a great performance I remember this scene. I cried as well
I remember watching this like it was yesterday. No we’ve got this new Ben and I regularly cry before bed now.
Eastenders has made me a very emotional person.
I liked his relationship with Paul and it was really sad when he died but I love him with Callum more!! #TeamBallum
I loved Ben and Paul and I HATE Ben with Callum. It just makes no sense and that whole relationship has made Ben's character very limited
Watching old Ben scenes with Harry Reid as Ben makes me miss him more but the new Ben seems alright though
Ben so cute without his glasses
I'm not crying your crying

Okay, well my heart is in pieces on the floor. 💔😥

This is a really Sad Episode Of Eastenders Just when Ben Mitchell find love with Paul is Dead
I hated they killed Paul off
This is so sad
Bloody acting is absolutely amazing in these soaps... all these glistening fake hollywood stars could not shed a or scrunch up their faces if their life depended on it
how did Paul die I missed that episode
hi Daryl who would you say is better looking Paul coker or Ben my opinion I think Paul
+Yasin French Paul bens an ugly fucker
same here
Paul should have got with jhony but now because he's dead bens gonna get with jhony
+Daryl Dixon yeah mate I totally agree Paul's kind of cute lol😂😂
EastEnders was very good during this period. It's been mince ever since.
Why'd they get a new actor in? Harry Reid was so good.
I think Max Bowden was so good too
Max is such a better fit but I really miss harry I loved him
dr103 Agreed, Harry had a different approach to playing Ben
So sad :(
I made a Ben and Paul edit...feeling sad now...
He really was super.............
Ben's not dead he's alive?
Yeah Ben is alive, turns out it was Paul who died
Why did he take it out on his dad
Adam Oliver oh
He said “your friend” !!
Because he said “your friend” even though they were both gay lovers, implying that Phil doesn’t accept the fact that Ben is gay
Why did he attack Phil? It wasn't his fault he died
Phil called Paul “Ben’s Friend” but Ben was angry because Paul was a lot more than a friend to him.
siesiegames Also he never really accepted that Ben was gay so for Phil to call Paul his “friend” would imply he’s still not happy with a gay son
Because he said ”Bens Friend”
phil should have said your boyfriend to ben and NOT just friend only
We just have to admit Ben is just cursed.
Very sad
