Ben's return is set to revive the long-term resentment between Ian and Phil.

Newbie Joshua commented: "I was so excited when I got the call to say I'd got the part of Ben Mitchell. I've always watched the programme and it will be great to work with fantastic actors such as Steve McFadden and Linda Henry.

"I'm really looking forward to this fantastic opportunity and making the role of Ben my own."

The jail or where ever he went, was supposed to toughen him up as he had a rough time in there.

[Alexx..]

I'm so glad they've got rid of the old Ben, he was a douchebag. Hopefully this one will be good and not annoying!

[Special]

lol that's so funny

easteneders is so rubbish now days

[kuzkasate]

yeh, the old actor sucked!

lets hope this guy doesnt have a squeeky voice please.

[Storking]

LOL it actually looks quite like him, unlike the other change they had recently :P

i'm looking forward to seeing a tougher ben :)

[smiffy70]

i thought lauren was the same actress for a while, but i can instantly tell this aint the old ben

anyway the only wrong decision i found eastenders producers to make is killing off danielle, she was hortness XD

[Jordan]

Lmao, Look at him!

Well, he can only be better!

[smiffy70]

you cant really say that considering you have only seen one picture of him.

[Nuxty]

I wonder if this is a case of SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) where the character comes back after a brief absence a couple of years older!

The new guy looks OK, hopefully he'll be better than the last actor!

[Jessicrawrr]

it's daft when they change the actor, the character doesn't have the same qualities, it's just like doctor who!
meh, im sure we'll get used to the new actors.

[Alkaz]

It's good that Lauren and Ben kind of look like the old ones. I doubt the new Lucy will look like the old one as when they last changed her, in comparison looked like she had come from mars :P

Not a very nice thing to say Joseph xD! I actually liked the old Lucy but I do think this one will be completely different to the old old as I think they will try to change the character leading her into another direction.

[Sharon]

i just facepalmed irl... LOL@HIM

he looks just a bit funny but HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Judas]

did ben grow 10 years during his time away

[Calvin]

Why is it that when they replace a character, they look YEARS older?

[smiffy70]

tbh who cares if lucy was a bit annoying off screen still doesnt mean they shud of fired her aswell, but i cant wait to see her replacement

[Suspective]

its about time

the other actor was a weirdo
aha

this one still looks a bit to neeky

[Mrs.McCall]

LMAO the new guy looks way, way too old.

[Molly.22]

He looks too old in my opinion but nothing is saying he isn't actually short! (doubt it though)

The new Lauren seems pretty good at the moment, I don't think the new Lucy will be as good though.

[dbgtz]

yeah i like the new lauren, she can act better. I cant wait to see who plays the new lauren, itll be interesting. I too think she'll be crap.
new ben cant be any worse :P

[Richie]

at least get someone who slightly resembles him. The worst change in characters had to be the two laurens. The old one was much better.

she couldn't act lol, plus the new lauren has bigger storylines and the old lauren wouldnt of been able to cope.

I still prefered the old one, the new ones too umm i dno badass to be lauren.

Alot of people got fired from eastenders when there new producer joined the team.

Also peggy was the orginal killer of archie but last year she told them she would leave so they had to change it to bradley. Ben got fired for **** acting and so did Lucy. think Lauren might have too. But people like Minty/the 2 black girls/lucas ect all got fired too.

[Gibs960]

That guy doesn't look tough. They should of got some one a lot "tougher" :D But the old one got on my nerves :D

Also 1 - peggy was the orginal killer of archie but last year she told them she would leave so they had to change it to bradley. Ben got fired for **** acting and so 2 - did Lucy. think 3 - Lauren might have too. But people like Minty/the 2 black girls/4 - lucas ect all got fired too.

1) source?
2) melissa was fired for inappropriate behaviour out of work
3) she left to focus on college
4) lucas would have left anyway, he wasn't fired it was part of the story

but yeah i like the new lauren, hotter older and isnt so crap at acting. I personally didn't realise the change for about 10 minutes :P
I thought I saw the new ben in that gang that came to "pay respects to billie" (which apparently translates to "having sex billies mum")

[luce]

it basically looks like he just lost weight and edged slightly closer to puberty! I think the character of Ben is generically annoying so he will be just as if not more so annoying!

[smiffy70]

yeah i like the new lauren, she can act better. I cant wait to see who plays the new lauren, itll be interesting. I too think she'll be crap.
new ben cant be any worse :P

SAY WA???

[Chris]

He meant the new Lucy. Lawl. ^^
