The stories of Ben Mitchell EastEnders so far as he returns from the murder of Heather to Paul love

It's a long time, but Ben Mitchell is back at EastEnders. After learning about the mess that Phil (Steve McFadden) has made with regard to his zany relations in Spain, Ben returns to Walford to help his old man – but he is not without secrets.

With Max Bowden succeeding Harry Reid, we will see a very different side of Ben when he returns to the square. Kate Oates, the director of EastEnders, said that the time he had spent away from Walford had done him good and that when he returned he would be much more confident in his baduality than he was before .

Ben being the only son of Phil, the character is of paramount importance for the future of the EastEnders. That's why he's so great that he'll play again on a regular basis. However, it was a long time since we were in the neighborhood for the last time, so we thought a little reminder might be in order!

Before killing the lovable inhabitants of Walford and cracking for seductive boys, Ben Mitchell was only a nod to his mother's eye. Of course, all that changed when Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) gave birth to Phil's son in 1996. As a child, Ben was the subject of a dramatic narrative, including the very first, in which he received a diagnosis of meningitis, a condition caused partial deafness in one ear.

Kathy became devoted to her baby, which prompted Phil to turn to alcohol and seek the affection of Lorna Cartwright (Janet Dibley) – a case that would end up ending the happy couple.

Over the next two years, Ben would not play too much, although he is present. His next big story came in 2006, when Phil was detained after Kathy's "murder". During her stay at Queen Vic, Ben developed a pbadion for dance, which was encouraged by Peggy (Barbara Windsor) but scolded by Phil.

If it was not a pretty hard pill to swallow for the toddler, his life changed forever when his father made a relationship with Stella Crawford (Sophie Thompson). The unruly lawyer became violent toward Ben, repeatedly burning him with a hot teaspoon.

Although Stella's reign of terror ended on the day of her marriage to Phil, Ben strove to overcome the violence that he had suffered from his wife and eventually attacked his best friend, Jordan Johnson (Michael Joel David Stuart) with a key. As a result, he was found in juvenile detention.

A few months later, Ben – now played by Joshua Pascoe – returns to Walford again. Although he had strong ties with Jay (Jamie Borthwick) during this period, this relay would be the most troubled period of the character in the square.

Ben struggled to accept his baduality and ended up sleeping with Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold). Subsequently, he concluded that he was definitely gay but was shocked to learn that Lola had become pregnant. Having been rejected by Phil for his baduality, he resolved to punish his father. How, you ask? By tracking him, of course!

Yes, Ben mocked Phil on his past crimes and let him run away from the country – a story that would culminate in the vicious murder of Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison), as he had believed the truth. have pbaded to the police. He was sentenced to four years in prison, marking the end of another era for the boy Mitchell.

The character made another return to Walford in 2014 – this time, with Harry Reid taking over the role – for what is probably his best participation at EastEnders to date. During this period, Ben received a lot of quality material, including a bow of redemption, as well as Phil's pursuit struggling to accept his baduality. In addition, with Kathy's return, Ben was able to develop a relationship with her mother.

Things began to seem legitimate for the troubled guy, and he soon fell head over heels in love with Paul Coker (Jonny Labey). Although initially fearful that Phil would know his relationship with Paul, Ben stopped worrying about his father's archaic feelings about his baduality, as his love for the Coker boy was just too strong.

Yes, Ben and Paul were the dream ship, but unfortunately, they did not have a happy ending. Paul is the victim of a fatal homophobic attack, leaving Ben alone once again. No, you cry!

He left Albert Square again in early 2018, while he was leaving on the run with what he thought was the money from the robbery robbery orchestrated by Aidan Maguire (Patrick Bergin). Even if it was not exactly what we could call a happy ending, it at least gave Ben the opportunity to rest and recover.

Then it's Max Bowden, and although Ben is a little different on his return, his old traits will certainly surface. With a lot of secrets to his name – and apparently a new sense of fashion – Ben Mitchell is back and ready to face Walford once again.
