Ballum

[peachy-keen22]

I have a feeling that Ballum is coming back, but not I sure whteter I’m delulu or prophet

Like you don’t understand it’s in my fucking waters.

The look on Callum’s face when Johnny says Callum is the best thing to ever happen to him, delicious

[jackbatchelor3]

"He's still in love with his ex."

[ballumstansstuff]

Damn right he is, say it louder Timothy 📢

[ballumstansstuff]

Maybe I’m delusional but I fully think they’re going to bring Ben back and are writing it in a way which is setting it up. I think if they didn’t plan for Ben to come back Johnny and Callum would very much be more background characters and just shown subtly with any Linda or mitchell/lexi issues. The fact their relationship is being pushed tells me that they’re setting up the stakes for bens return

[ballumstansstuff]

I love, LOVE how anti callum and Johnny everyone is in the EE insta comments.

Hopefully BW is paying attention to what the audience clearly wants

Did anyone else notice in the divorce papers ben is referred to as ‘wife’

[ballumstansstuff]

After the scene with Kathy I’m really hoping Callum has buried his feelings for Ben and is just pretending they don’t exist. Seeing him look actually emotional and sad when he was talking to Kathy felt like a glimmer of hope. I think if/when Ben does come back those emotions will come rushing back and he won’t be able to pretend. I think it’s easier for Callum to pretend he’s fine and he’s happy with Johnny when Ben is out of sight out of mind sort of thing.

[ballumstansstuff]

Callum looked so sad during that conversation with Kathy… more of that please!

[ballumstansstuff]

I really hope that Johnny and Callum come out of this stronger/solid so that when Ben hopefully comes back it makes them getting back together even better. I just hope and pray that Max comes back and we don’t get a recast

I honestly don’t get it at all if they’re going to make Johnny cheat? Surely there’s only so much cheating one character can do in a short space of time. Johnny cheated on felix with Callum and now he’s going to cheat on Callum with Tim? Not to mention Ben being hurt in the middle. Is this all they can think of?

It’s so bizarre, I don’t have a clue what the writers are thinking of taking this one. Like where on earth is this going? What does it mean for ballum? I’m so confused and disappointed

[ballumstansstuff]

The spoilers for next week are so bizarre and disappointing. Just when you think the whole Tim situation can’t get any weirder. The whole writing and storylines are just very strange at the minute

[ballumstansstuff]

Jamie unfollowed Max at the end of January, I noticed because the "followed by" went down lol. Max still following him doesn't tell us much, depends if its even crossed his mind tbh, he still follows his ex from last year despite her unfollowing him so 🤷‍♀️

Kinda related but jamie unfollowed a female friend a couple months back which I thought was interesting. She still follows him so maybe hasn't even noticed the snub lol but she's friendly with one of the women he cheated on so I assume that's why

Oooo that’s interesting. Sounds like Jamie has been on an unfollowing spree. Yeah maybe Max just hasn’t noticed. He doesn’t seem the type to bother with unfollowing people tbh. I’m hopeful it’s a good sign though because I know max and Jamie were close at one point so him going back to EE might have been enough to make them fall out

[ballumstansstuff]

I really hope the ‘acquaintance’ is someone who’s there on bens behalf asking Callum and Johnny to do something dodgy for him. I can see that causing a lot of friction between them if Callum is willing to bend the rules for Ben and not Johnny (Tim)

[ballumstansstuff]

I’ve just noticed that Max is still following Jamie on insta but Jamie has unfollowed Max ?? Possibly something to do with an Eastenders return? Jamie isn’t following EE anymore either. Anyone else noticed??

[ballumstansstuff]

Today's scene with Johnny and Tim was so weird. Tim looked angry that Callum wasn't there and he turned cold towards Johnny in about a second.

That wasn't at all what their interactions were like back when Tim first appeared. Very odd.

And Tim suddenly wanting Callum? Where did that come from? Has he even met Callum more than once? I don't get it.

I guess a jealousy angle could be playing out here but I'm actually assuming Johnny will be forced to involve an unwitting Callum in Elaine's plan to manipulate Tim to help their businesses.

Could be an interesting turn of events if Callum doesn't realise what's going on and then finds out Johnny was using him.

Yeah I think you might be right with the Johnny using Tim’s interest in Callum to his advantage maybe. I could see Johnny and Elaine planning meetings and things and making sure to include Callum to keep Tim on board.

I don’t think it’ll be a cheating storyline, be it Callum with Tim or Johnny with Tim… it’d just be awful writing if it was.

Perhaps this is a rewrite and change of direction from the original plot with Tim, I suspect Jamie’s axing has had a ripple effect on multiple storylines

[ballumstansstuff]

So Callum is the one that Tim is interested in? Fair play I didn’t see that coming

[ballumstansstuff]

I'm beyond confused about this Callum storyline now and it's displaced my lingering anger at how this has been handled.

Him just turning up at the audition today and getting along perfectly fine with Phil seemed bizarre. It's like October never happened.

So weird.

Same anon, same.

I’ve given up trying to figure it out. I don’t even watch EE anymore unless Callum or Ben are specifically mentioned.
