I'll never forgive Ben for what he did to Heather one of EE's nicest characters and I liked her a lot!
However, you can't help but feel a bit sorry for him being attacked like this , it was horrible and Lewis deserves to be in jail.
Same as Ben should not have attacked that other guy and Peter Beale ( even if it that was mistaken identity!)
It is a tricky storyline. Callum being strong is good though, shows he isn't a pushover.

SoupDragon · 28/05/2022 20:07

Yes, he didn't deserve to be raped.

for me, the best result would be Lewis goes to prison for rape and takes Ben down with him by telling the police about the attacks. Get rid of the pair of them.

mrswhiplington · 28/05/2022 20:20

Yes, Lewis should definitely get his comeuppance. Ben will need to go an awfully long way to make it up to Callum.
I do feel really sorry for Raine though after Stewart saying he didn't want the baby. Hope it doesn't tip her over the edge. 😵‍💫

I lived in a terraced house in Manchester growing up and they all had a step from the living room to the kitchen. I didn't think it was that unusual.
I'm finding it very difficult to feel sorry for Ben at the moment. I know what happened to him was awful and wrong but with all the beatings and then the intention to cheat on Callum all the sad faces he is pulling are really annoying me.

Why on earth wouldn’t you feel sorry for him? He’s been raped! Nobody deserves to be raped, regardless of what led up to it.

mrswhiplington · 28/05/2022 22:09

Southeastdweller I know what happened to Ben was wrong and he didn't deserve to be raped!! No one deserves that. Hopefully he'll tell Callum what happened soon. But I imagine Callum may not believe him because of his track record.

And he killed Hev.

TV land is so odd. The fact he even lives in the Square after killing another resident is baffling. Esp since H's best friend also lives there. So weird!

EmeraldShamrock1 · 29/05/2022 01:15

No Ben didn't deserve to be raped.

I felt very little for him during his panick attack storyline when Callum was beaten up, afterall he removed protection from Jac's in prison without a second thought knowing he'd be beaten badly.

Little shit.

SoupDragon · 29/05/2022 09:17

I'd forgotten about Jags. Ben is not a nice character at all and I hope Callum sees him for all he is.

Ive never understood why he's enamoured with Ben. There's really nothing likeable about him at all. He's certainly not a loveable rogue.

The fact he's so awful and the fact he intended on cheating on Callum makes it an interesting storyline and has already had an effect on viewers debating whether they feel sympathy for him etc. So it's a positive thing to have people talking about it, and I hope EE really hammers it home that it WAS rape and that no means no, regardless of how much you have done up to that point.

mycatisannoying · 29/05/2022 10:40

Ben didn't deserve to be raped, but like a previous poster said, I'm struggling to garner much sympathy. It's hard when the emotional connection to a character just isn't there mainly 'cause he's a pain in the tits.

the80sweregreat · 29/05/2022 10:44

I feel a little bit sorry for Ben because of his background, he was abused by Stella as a kid , his mum pretended to be dead for years , his dad struggled with him being gay at the start , the love of his life, Paul , was beaten up and killed , he was put in prison for manslaughter for killing Heather at a young age ( which he didn't mean to do , but still hard to forgive that one!) and his actions over Jags led to Callum also being attacked.
He tries to be the hard man like his dad , but it's not really how he wants to be. He also has hearing loss too from meningitis as a baby and now his been raped.
EE characters are indeed troubled souls ! !

EmeraldShamrock1 · 29/05/2022 10:53

Jag's 😆 I thought his name was Jac's.

I do have sympathy for his upbringing though his behaviour now is horrendous.

He needs to get therapy and sort his life out or go to prison for a long time.

the80sweregreat · 29/05/2022 10:55

Him and Lewis should both be in prison.

And don't forget he co-parents the most obnoxious child in the Square ,
Is bound even tighter to Billy Mitchell ( Billy is family anyway - Phils cousin i think - but Billy is Lexis great grandad) , who would wish that on your worst enemy ?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/05/2022 11:36

And ......and he has to be eternally grateful to SuperSonia who saved his life with the Emergency Bic Pen and The Pubs LemonKnife Tracheotamy

Imagine being civil to SuperSonia would sting a bit !

the80sweregreat · 29/05/2022 11:40

I'd forgotten about pink loving Lexi and angry Lola, he has had a rough time of it really related to those two.
Billy a great grandad : oh yes! He is such a bit character these days that I forget about him.
He was also Ronnie and Roxy's cousin too.

the80sweregreat · 29/05/2022 11:43

The bic pen. Ben soon recovered from that injury.
Wasn't that something to do with Max and the weyland story ? Can't remember now.
Sonia and her Camilla ' love in' speech annoyed me the other week! Trust her to be a fan of hers!! 😂

Did he get shot in the Vic?

I can't see how that results in a tracheotomy though 🤔

Using my extensive media knowledge gleaned from Casualty and Holby City' could it have been a collapsed lung instead?

I remember him being on the floor, wheezing his last, but very little else.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/05/2022 15:01

He got shot during the Munter Seige and was lying gurgling in his own blood
(I don't know if it was a trachestomy , I asked DH and he said that was the name ) Blame DH .
And SuperSonia isn't a Thoracic Surgeon ( though she's qualified in every other field Grin ) she saved his life !

But the Emergency thats in all the Soapy Hospitally programmes ( I'm sure even in Doctors someone has weilded a biro at a collapsed patient Wink )

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/05/2022 15:03

Ben was back under a bonnet about a week later Smile

Car not hat .

the80sweregreat · 29/05/2022 15:15

They usually bounce back from any injuries big or small ( unless they are really being killed off of course , but even then ' dead , dead ' can be undone .. )
I wouldn't be shocked if Ronnie and Roxy ' come back ' one day too although they would be very hard to explain away!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/05/2022 15:22

I'm still hanging onto the hope of the lovely FatBoy getting out of the boot of Ronnies car uncrushed !
Unlikely though sadly

SoupDragon · 29/05/2022 15:46

A biro has been used in Holby City before. It's a totally legit medical procedure.

the80sweregreat · 29/05/2022 15:46

I think fat boy really has gone !
Ditto Vincent.

It's fairly likely if Sonia can get to him with a box of plasters and her pencil case.
