I do rather like oscar. He’s funny and reminds me so much of max. I assume max will be coming back soon to see his son and maybe meet his daughter - she’s a mini max as well

So we have Mitchell’s galore and mummy Mitchell is getting notches on her bed post with a few in the square 😂😂

we have a wedding to look forward to. Sept 1 - in the bloody Vic again - that’s if they get married and yeah man Patrick doesn’t lose all his money (and howies)

kat and Alfie own the vic, still not sure how got a mortgage for the rest in 2 days - plus poor Stacey - that money was for her kids

talking of money - suki is gonna buy a baby. That’s if goes ahead with the idiotic plan. Esp once Ravi and Priya know - I’m still hoping Avain has an abortion.

Vicky still owes shaza thousands and def isn’t paying back £2k a month like she said

joel isn’t a nice boy and needs to taught a lesson or five - he will get into more trouble

glad Nigel has his wife and now to find someone for Phil. Prob be shazza - if she ever returns. Assume she has some personal stuff going on in real life

can’t think of anything else but sure I’ve missed loads our

Oh no, I was wondering where Jay had gone! He’s been sacked? Why? And what’s the storyline/ how are they explaining his absence?

Catpiece · 19/10/2025 12:20

He was sacked for a comment he made about people who come from Blackpool. He’s been written out as visiting someone

What's with all the Lexi hate? She's a kid who has lost her mother, her Dad is in prison, her other 'Dad' has vanished (because they sacked Jamie) and her step-Dad, her only constant in her life, is seeing someone else and has been hiding it from her.

I think anyone that has had all that happen to her may be a little bratty and hurt.

I personally think that she should go and live with Billy and Honey and have some form of stable family life, at least until Ben comes back.

Who'd have thought Silly Billy would have the most stable family life of all the Mitchell's, and most of the Square in fact!

She’s always been a spoilt brat

What did the Ben actor do?

finallygettingit · 19/10/2025 16:18

I agree, Lexi should go to Billy and Holly

ChonkyRabbit · 19/10/2025 20:13

Callum and thingy have handled this appallingly. Oh your dads are splitting up and here's my new boyfriend in your house all the time, bribing you.

And his boss forgave him for Lexi's stunt. His own stupidity lost him the job.

I loved how Elaine said to Johnny ‘ oh never mind , you can help me out in the b and b instead ‘
She always has zero empathy for anyone having a bad time of it ! Lol

Ok seems I was wrong. Chat gp says

  • Max Bowden said on the YouTube show The Lewis Nicholls Show that his departure was driven by burn-out:
  • “The important thing was my time was ready. I was very tired, and like I said, I wasn’t me, I wasn’t.”
  • He described doing nearly 600 episodes in five years as “a hell of a lot.”
  • He said he needed to “work on me, get myself back to a place of really good mental health, focus on healing and also be a dad.”
  • In his Instagram post he wrote:
  • “It’s been one hell of a ride. Thanks for taking Ben to your hearts and allowing my version into your lives … I had an amazing five years … I’ll be forever grateful.”
  • Although Bowden emphasises it was his decision (and about his health/work-life), some media outlets interpret that his contract wasn’t renewed (i.e., “axed”) rather than purely voluntary. For example one article stated: “Max was axed by ‘EastEnders’ bosses last December…”
  • In interviews Bowden acknowledged the possibility that “they [the producers] were probably tired of me being tired.”
  • No credible source confirms misconduct as the exit reason; Bowden’s publicly stated reason remains health/mental-wellness, heavy workload and wanting time for family.
  • A source reported by The Sun suggested that Bowden went into a contract renewal meeting and “came out without a job”, implying that the decision might not have been entirely voluntary. One line from Reddit puts it this way:
  • “I was thinking maybe it’s to do with his personal life clashing but … Him going in for his contract renewal meeting … came out without a job.”
  • Some tabloid reports claim there were “clashes with show bosses” or dissatisfaction from the production side with Bowden’s “party lifestyle” (though these claims are unverified).
  • Fan commentary also notes that his exit came somewhat abruptly, and that many viewers found the storyline for Ben’s exit felt like a “write-out” rather than a gradual transition.

so kinda sounds like he was going to be pushed so he jumped 😂

Yes, like Ok you’ve spent all those years training and working as a lawyer but what’s the problem? You can make beds and scrub toilets instead!

the80sweregreat · 20/10/2025 10:16

Has Johnny been ‘ struck off ‘ as such ? ( may be the wrong terminology there )
Could he not set up his own business? ( I know nothing about the law or lawyers or how they operate tbh)
I think this is what he was trying to do anyway?

Catpiece · 20/10/2025 10:41

@the80sweregreat Wasn’t he in The Albert with a tablet (?) trying to set up on his own? He’s not going to be working in the new B and B SURELY! I’m not keen on Johnnie to be honest. Love Callum though.

the80sweregreat · 20/10/2025 10:46

He was trying to ‘ poach’ clients I think whilst a bit drunk and now has been fired! however, does this mean he can’t work as a lawyer anymore though ?

ChonkyRabbit · 20/10/2025 10:47

He can still work as a lawyer but he won't get a good reference from his ex employer.

the80sweregreat · 20/10/2025 10:58

If Johnny goes it alone I suppose that not getting a good reference from his old job isn’t the end of the world, but depends which type of work he is specializing in maybe? Again , no idea , but he seemed to write himself off a bit !

He’s honestly a bloody idiot 🙄

the80sweregreat · 20/10/2025 13:47

Yeah, considering Johnny is a lawyer, he isn’t that bright is he !

ChonkyRabbit · 20/10/2025 19:35

Anybody have theories on Jasmine? She's very interested in Cindy.

excelledyourself · 20/10/2025 20:32

Is Johnny already staying over at Callum and Lexi’s, or just letting himself in every morning?

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/10/2025 21:04

ChonkyRabbit · 20/10/2025 19:35

i wonder if anything to do with why she changed her name and the family who were after her

silly Nigel

tho he didn’t hit jasmine hard and Gina was shoved out of the way so she will be fine

How many more people will be run over on the square ? It’s becoming a few times a year thing !

the80sweregreat · 21/10/2025 07:33

What became of Howie and the parcels ? He stole some jewellery , but nothing more came of it

crispycrust · 21/10/2025 13:21

Howie is a nasty little shit really.

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 21/10/2025 13:59

So glad Harry told Kojo to run last night, hopefully he can get help.

I like Harry and Kojo's friendship. Just a shame that Gina and Teddy were too dim to notice something was up when Harry called them.
