It will nice to get a new adult male Slater for a change. Apart from the kids (and Sean) the Slater’s tend to be female heavy

Completely forgot that the Slaters had a trans cousin. Back when they lived in Karen’s place with about 50 other people.
Generally speaking I do like Ben as a character because he's even more despicable than PhilI’m definitely in the minority because I love Ben so much🫣
(who does have some loose morals and draws the line at trafficking). This rape story seems rather overwrought to me. I guess it might be true that it's harder for a man to admit to being raped than a woman. A woman is generally believed because men are physically stronger. Ben doesn't think that the police will believe him and doesn't want the 'stigma' attached to him.
He's not helping himself though because he should be seeking counselling. My main problem with Ben at the moment is the fact that he didn't tell Callum what happened and he keeps attacking random strangers.
He was dreadful, just a prop for a coming out as trans story then they didn't know what to do with him afterwards.
EE writers have completely destroyed Kat Slaters character. She was always loud and brash but now they’ve made her into a middle aged fishwife. Gone is the subtle vulnerability, the nuance, the shades of light to counteract the dark.
Remember Carol? bianca’s mum? Now that was a strong arse single mum character. We need more Carol’s and less Kat Slater being a messy middle aged teen, getting jealous over Phil.
They should have left her and Alfie alone, but there was a period in EE history where they focussed every major storyline on the Slaters (one way or another) it ruined them. They’ve done the same with Mick and Linda too.
Re:Ben. It just feels like a tickbox exercise, he is the only main gay character so not only do we have him dealing with PTSD but now let’s add male rape after a consensual arranged hookup gone wrong storyline.

I feel like they’ve bought Freddie back at an awkward time, there’s literally no teen group on EE currently. With Dana and Jada known to be leaving, there’s only really Dotty (aged 21), rarely seen Bernie (aged 19), Bobby (aged 18/19) and Vinny (not sure how old but I think at least 21) and I can’t see Freddie pursuing/befriending many of them
Agree that EE shouldn’t have broken up Kat and Alfie or Mick and Linda. Yes in real life divorces happen, but not every couple ends up cheating or divorced! There are plenty of storylines you can do for married couples that aren’t just around them breaking up, or someone coming between them. It’s so unimaginative.
We definitely need some young characters. It’s weird that the people in their teens/early 20s only ever date people who literally live on their street. They never go off to uni unless they’re being written out, never do the whole casual dating thing. I feel like the writers have never met a young person.

The whole point of Mick and Linda whe they arrived was they were a couple they weren't going to have cheating and separating etc. Obviously different EP, different ideas. But let some people be married.
And stop killing off all the young ones, otherwise where is the next generation of legacy families coming from.
True but I'd rather have Sean back than Mo's son.
it’s the first time i’ve seen a photo of him in years and i’m too old to have an opinion on this but he’s a very striking looking boy. i wish him all the luck too.
but also the fact he’s playing freddie makes me feel so OLD. love getting to the age when you remember the character’s entire birth storyline
Little Mo was raped by a guy called Graham. He’s Freddie’s father. He wasn’t Scottish and not particularly pale unless you thought Trevor was the father. He had long gone by then. She was with Billy by this point
I did think it was Trevor oops
I will give him a chance but it is annoying he got in the show with no acting credentials
Will definitely be interesting to see if he can actually act
He can’t be worse than half the square so he’ll fit inWill definitely be interesting to see if he can actually act
I feel like I’d rock this…
I want one of these.
Felix is such a tedious character. His clapbacks aren’t even funny or clever. I’m already bored of him.
If we’re posting t-shirts that we need…

Take my money!!!
This girl claiming that Jac Jossa’s (Lauren Branning ) god mother is Samantha Womack (Ronnie Mitchell) or Rita Simons (Roxy Mitchell) and that she was in the bottom two for the role of Lauren Branning but Jac Jossa doesn’t remember her… so strange
She's full of literal tit so don't waste your time watching her videos.
