Following Lewis’ (Aidan O’Callaghan) assault on Ben (Max Bowden), Ben (EastEnders) has recently faced some challenges. However, since Lola (Daniella Harold) refuses to let him see Lexi, things are only going to get worse for him (Isabella Brown).
Lola announces that Ben won’t be permitted to see her until he finds professional assistance since she is reasonably worried about her daughter’s safety.
When Ben previously failed to arrive on time for Lexi’s dancing exam, Lexi was dismayed. She broke down in tears as she told him that she missed how he used to be and that he had changed.
Ben searched for additional medicines to use since he felt bad.
After being sexually assaulted, Ben turned to drugs, helped by the appearance of an old buddy and drug dealer named James (Anto Sharp), with whom he is currently in a relationship.
His second error was partying with James and missing the family meal Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) had organized for Lexi. He left her a voicemail after realizing he was late before passing out in the street.
For fear of disappointing Lexi once more, Lola is adamant that Ben won’t visit her until he can get his act together.
After a one-night stand in 2011, Lexi was conceived. When Lexi was placed in foster care, Lola told Phil the truth after initially denying that Ben was the father. The bond between Ben and his daughter has been
complicated since then.
Will Ben be able to overcome his addiction for the sake of his daughter, or will he permanently disappear from her life?
