Is Ben a head-spinner?

AFTER haranguing Ben all week, unstable mother Little Mo returned to work and fell to pieces when she dropped a mixer bottle (shock, horror!)

It was a miracle she was allowed back into the Vic at all after messing with this small child (EastEnders).

Ben is the most unlikely Mitchell ever to walk the streets of Walford. He was either swapped at birth or is concealing a 666 engraved on the back of his head.

When Little Mo dared to confront him over the most heinous crime of crisp-stealing, he ran up the stairs and I half expected him to return brandishing a weapon, with his head spinning.

Meanwhile, Naomi was crestfallen as Sonia told her that Rebecca/Chloe would always come first.

"What, even if it was a choice between me and her?" Naomi whined.

Sonia might not ever have to make that choice. Pauline was busy putting on her evil head and telling Martin she 'had a plan'. I doubt Sonia will be impressed with her scheming to get young Rebecca/Chloe back to the Square. I fear that my days watching EastEnders could be drawing to a close following news that actress Sian Reeves has secured a role in the soap.

I've not been keen ever since I watched her weep like an attention-seeking luvvie on charity show Just the Two of Us. But being the professional that I am, I'm willing to give her a go, so watch this space.

Over in Corrie, Gail was shaking as she took a break from popping pills to pick up the mail thrust through her letterbox, though I suspect it is her own son, devil child David, who is sending the cards. Gail should stop dating. What with serial killers and tall Scottish reflexologists with nasty tempers she's certainly done her time, and potentially scarred her children. But let's not be too harsh. A child has two parents, and Martin can't be completely blameless for the way his son has turned out. After all, he had the nerve to move all the way to Liverpool.

Finally, I'm blowing my own trumpet with the exciting news that hits on the AK:TV website have doubled over the past month. As a reward to my loyal readers, I'm bringing back the tea break quiz, which will be uploaded on Thursdays.
