Ben is probably gonna be silently frustrated that he didn't live up to the promise he made to Lexi. And the fact he didn't get to say goodbye. This was great acting too by Max Bowden as well
Lola was always one of my favorite characters. I always hoped she'd get a happy ever after with her, Lexi and Jay moving away to start fresh somewhere else. But, since this is EastEnders, that was never going to happen. Ben falling to his knees was what he needed to do to show how much he failed. He'll have to deal with not being there for Lola and Lexi in the months to come.
I did not like Ben when he was played by the first two actors but when the next two took over I started to like him. Harry and Max made Ben a good character for me.
Yeah but he's stubborn and doesn't listen. Look like the whole town gave Ben the look of I told you so. Well we know Jay's going to dog on him for this. He has the right to even Billy should yell at him too. They all were thinking of Lexi and Lola I don't know where Ben's brain was. He always has ideas and there's a reason why his ideas never work. Lola's death should serve as a prime example.
@@a.l.y.a.m.e.d486 Billy doesn’t have the right to say shit. His actions in grief almost led to his missing Lola’s last moments as well, and the only reason he got to be there was because Honey and Phil were running around trying to get him out of jail.
On one hand, I’m frustrated with Ben because his impulsiveness to try and save Lola caused him to miss living in the now instead of for a future that never happened. But on the other hand, I get his being upset. Ben kind of represents those people who lost family members during the Pandemic and who couldn’t go and see them because of lockdowns and other issues.
Billy and Jay look like they don’t feel bad Ben didn’t get to say goodbye to Lola. Fantastic acting by max so sad oh my goodness:( he’s a great actor. Ik it’s Bens fault he didn’t get to say goodbye. But he didn’t want to face it that Lola was going to die and no new drug was going to work to make her live that bit longer. Edit: had to change a name auto correct mucked it up on me
its not bena fault at all like billy said he was trust trying his best no one blames him that he left they just know they cant do anything to cheers him up
i am devastated with paul's story in corrie him and billy are giving us(the gays) everything we want in balance angst, love, romance, drama, etc... not like eastenders with ballum
Poor lexi and Jay they loved Lola so much.sleep well you are no longer in pain or suffering lola.poor Ben too he went away to try and help lola be with lexi for a long time.feel so sorry for all her family
@@abbieroseholden4174 Ben wanted to bide his daughters mother some more time [ part of him was in denial also of the inevitable outcome that Lola was going to die and very soon and thankfully she died in her sleep and she wouldn't have felt anything ] so that she would not miss an important milestone in their daughters life. His intentions were honourable even though he knew deep down that he couldn't delay what would happen.
@@abbieroseholden4174he literally put his whole life savings into trying to buy Lola some more time. He’s in debt now and has to sell his business. He did a lot more than what most people would of
I can look the other way at the murders, the violence, the gangster shit but I can not accept this blatant violation of traffic laws. That's it, we're through.
@@johnjohnsilver If you feel he's taking the mick with the car parking, I rather think it's the writers and programme creators you have to blame here, not the actor.
I get his reasoning… but he should have thought about what would have been more realistic. If he had done this after Lola told them she had six months left during that brain tumor charity event? That would have been totally totally understandable. But with not even possibly weeks left of her to live? He wants to go /now/ and take the time to fly across the world? Even tho he meant well… he shouldn’t have budged unless he was just going an hour or two outside of London - when Lexi needed him with her even if Lola hadn’t died until Idek the second week of June. She needed her dad with her to help prepare her for this. Still? As usual… Ben reacts, gets a singular focus in his mind, doesn’t listen, & doesn’t communicate and rushes into things even when he means well. He’s terrified of having to express any type of emotion cause emotion = weak. Which is what he grew up being told. that’s why it took him forever to even say ilu to Callum. Also cause he didn’t tell Lexi what he was doing nor did he answer any of her texts she sent him.
@@mechellemybell1000 It hadn't really sunk in before, Lola was relatively OK till now, but this can progress fast near the end (where he indeed shouldn't have left, but people are irrational in these situations). Ben also shown plenty of emotion lately, I would say it's actually the opposite, too much (bad) emotions, he was opening up to Callum, when the co-parenting thing was sprung on him.
Ben was doing his best for Lola . Thinking he had time to get Lola on that treatment. But when he returned to find out that she had died . Ben had a breakdown in the square and callum rushed over to him. With all this going on and what happened to him last year when he was raped . He needs Callum more than ever
Even though Ben and Lola aren't technically together but they do share a child & he still has feelings for her & also she was a big part of the family in town so it is sad that Lola & the actress who plays her It's very upsetting they were both so young even though the actress in real life is alive & well but her character will live on
drama mama is back.... always sorry and never changes.... unreliable and all about him.....same old same old. If it was a chinese soap he'd also slap himself.....

It haunts you for life
I doubt silently,
I agree probably the best bit of acting gr him for a long while.
Nooo..this is heartbreaking. He fallen to his knees the same way when he n callum broke up
and peter findin out lucy had died
Ben's face when he got out of the car.. 💔

ben would never have allowed lola to move away with THEIR daughter.
Poor Ben. 😔 I used to hate him, but I can't help but feel sorry for him for trying to save Lola.
Me too
I did not like Ben when he was played by the first two actors but when the next two took over I started to like him. Harry and Max made Ben a good character for me.
He actually didn't. He spent it all in America and is in jail for 6 years.
I just wish Ben had bloody listened when Callum and Jay said that Lola is close to death instead of going to Americ
Yeah but he's stubborn and doesn't listen. Look like the whole town gave Ben the look of I told you so. Well we know Jay's going to dog on him for this.

No he thought he could save her and I would have done the same thing.We cling on to hope.
People have different coping mechanisms. Ben’s heart is with keeping his promise with Lexi..

This is so sad seeing Lola go into that van
Heart breaking when it happens in real life .

Why? I didn’t think they hated him that much.

@@Chongedfromthebong probably because they are devastated too...
Billy doesn't like Ben, probably doesn't care about his feelings.
Billy smashed a shop and had to be bailed out by Phil, he should stay quiet.

RIP lola
😢😢😢 poor ben
I hate how Ben has been treated through this entire storyline. He didn’t deserve this :(
No you're right he deserved a smack making Lolas death about him what about Lexi, Jay and Billy?
@@abbieroseholden4174 did u even watch it? Cos soo he did was put Lola first

Poor Ben, 😢😢😢
I wish I could just park my car right in the middle of the street like that in real life
I can look the other way at the murders, the violence, the gangster shit but I can not accept this blatant violation of traffic laws. That's it, we're through.
I'll forgive Ben for slapping Heather trott down but I will not forgiving him for blatant violations to the highway code
@@johnjohnsilver If you feel he's taking the mick with the car parking, I rather think it's the writers and programme creators you have to blame here, not the actor.
🤣😂
tho he obv saw the van and realized what happened & got out in a rush. I don’t think his car was “parked” there.
I agree
Oh ben💔💔💔
Ben came back from America and he find out Lola died from a brain tumor on the show!!
That’s terrible Ben didn’t get the chance to say goodbye but I’m glad no one stood in the way of him trying to help.
hard moment for everybody .
The cars left on the middle of the road
Heartbreaking to watch
I don't get why the others were mad with him because at least he was trying to save her life.
Exactly dear.. he’s clinging to hope
Especially shop-smasher Billy should be non judging...

Poor ban heartbreak
Back here after Ben spent it all in America and was sentenced for 6 years for fraud and money laundering
They spent most of the time arguing over their kid anyway 🤷♀️

So heartbeaking for ben 💔💔💔
He can't just leave his car there.... who moved it for him?
Jay looked so mad
He looked disgusted and angry but at the same time completely numb
Even though Ben and Lola aren't technically together but they do share a child & he still has feelings for her & also she was a big part of the family in town so it is sad that Lola & the actress who plays her It's very upsetting they were both so young even though the actress in real life is alive & well but her character will live on
I feel sorry for bed that he miss saying goodbye it's going to eat him up
😢
Ben making it all about him again.
So sorry for last
😭💔
Werent they cousins who had a baby together?
Lola died*
I've never really enjoyed Bens characters but since Bowden took the role, he has become a character to enjoy.
This scene, was one of his best.
Yeah id be Jay here. After going through that I'd be so grossed out seeing a display like that.
Jay is just numb.
...and again it´s all about him....
So you’d rather eastenders not film bens reaction even though lola is the mother of his child? That would be poor writing.
Haters gonna hate. Ask the director why
Feel like this time that award went to shop-smasher Billy.
Ben waste of space
mmmkay. Eastenders is bad.
That acting is awfulllllll
drama mama is back.... always sorry and never changes.... unreliable and all about him.....same old same old. If it was a chinese soap he'd also slap himself.....
Ask the director why
