Heh, well Ben and Johnny are really trying to convince themselves that they're not interested in each other. Their friends aren't convinced, though. I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of them getting together. They're pretty different people. But if it gives Johnny more of a story that would be good. For however long it may last, anyway. All videos from the last few month have been deleted before I could watch them =( Me, too. I don't think I was too far behind, and I suspect I didn't miss too much considering how slow this show can be at times. I hope.

if this was the old Johnny (Sam Strike) I would've love to see him w/ Ben, but I don't find new Johnny terribly attractive

New clip courtesy of Ahsan: Does this start right after Winter Hymn's 328? What about this one?

Probably not - I suspect there is a couple of weeks gap between them, as it has been awhile since Winter Hymn posted. I am pretty sure the Ben-Johnny scenes in the clip from Ahsan above aired this week.

Ben and Johnny got first billing in the credits tuesday. I hoped it might be the start of a storyline. Then they were barely seen in the second episode and didn't feature today at all. It's still Denise and this filler story with Michelle. And again no episode tomorrow. Did they cut down EE to 3 episodes per week or something? I know the cast was axed down to 30 or so people. But somehow Denise has been in the spotlight for 3 months. It's like she's the main character or something. I do like her. But I want to see more than Johnny supporting. He's been back for a year next month and what storylines did he have? I can't remember a single one. He seems to be supporting only just like Finn did in Emmerdale for years.
It seems like Ben was an asshole for a long time. Robbing people, pretending to be straight, cheating, passing on STDs, going mental. But it seems like the writers have taken away his nasty personality and forgotten to give him another one. He's now a generic soap male. His 'unique' traits are seeking the approval of his homophobic father and never getting over the death of a boyfriend he knew for a few months but whome he still considers the love of his life and soulmate.

That's always been the problem with EastEnders. For characters like Ben (and Johnny, and in the past Christian and Syed) they are incredibly uneven with story pacing. They can be ok for a while, but then characters will vanish for weeks at a time without explanation, losing whatever momentum they might have had.

I miss Winter Hymn I hope Anthony or Ahsan C will share this storyline. Looks like Ben and Johnny are friends, for now

So there is a Trailer for upcoming stories in spring. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkiobax0XPQSome more Denise, Becks, Lauren also continueing Whitneys struggle without Lee, some Jack. Ben and Johnny aren't even in it. Neither is Derrick. I hope Tyga is gay but SoC doesn't seem interested in any gay stories. I wish the BBC would just force him. Also Emmerdale won the TV BAFTA over Eastenders yesteday.

there was zero point in bringing back Johnny if they were just going to leave him offscreen. Sam Strike (ex-Johnny) knew what he was doing when he left

Johnny was brought back by the last producer. But he was fired. The new producer has been in charge for almost a year now and he has done nothing with Johnny and Ben. He effectively demoted them to supporting characters with filler stories.
Steven is heading for a breakup with Lauren. I'm not holding my breath. The show has Ben, Johnny and Derrick already and none of them are in a relationship. I dare say at this point the only thing between Ben and Johnny and the axe is the BBC diversity guidelines.

And with the new showrunner desiring to make his mark by bringing on a whole host of new characters (SEVEN of them, including a guy in the same age range), I suspect there won't be any movement for Ben and Johnny. It is to be expected because he gets paid for every character he creates.
And Steven seems to be permanently stuck in straighthood. If original recipe Steven had been predominantly attracted to women as he seems to be now, his past stories would never have happened.

Tuesday Ben made a call where he asked someone if they would be staying over this week. He smiled. 24 seconds of screentime. Tonight it turns out it was Pam coming for the housewarming. Billy and Honey have moved into her old flat above Coker and Sons. Again she and Ben talked about Paul. Pam again said Ben should move on and find someone new.

Hmm. At least Ben is still around. Doesn't sound like too much is happening. I'm not sure whether I can watch EE anymore; BBC is kind of notorious and WH isn't posting anymore.

Anthony Langford would probably upload them if there were any clips to upload.

At the soap awards the actor who plays Johnny gave a short red carpet interview. metro.co.uk/video/eastenders-ted-reilly-talks-metro-1477865/?ito=vjs-linkIn short, he says nothing is planned for Johnny. No storyline of his own. No romance in sight. He smiled at the mention of the initial flirting between Steven and Johnny but said nothing is happening at the moment. As for Ben.

Steven is having an affair with Abi as things get worse with Lauren. No gay ventures for him. Keanu appears to be the father of his sister Bernadette's baby. It wasn't spelled out but certainly it's what the audience is meant to think when he talks about our secret, paying for everything and holding her hand. That's probably him out of the gay picture. Really the Taylors are just an awful stereotype. Loud, obnoxious, thieving, with learning disability, lazy, poor people. Karen is not at all like White D. Since Keanu isn't gay I have no interest in him. He can go along with rest of the Taylors. I can't wait until John Yorke cleans this mess of a show up.
