Why do you like the Ben x Keanu scenes so much? I saw your gifset for the Eastenders meme and I'm interested to know why they're your favourite because a lot of people don't really like Keanu hahah x

bcoh bOy anon let’s go 

right imma be talking about these scenes and i already know i’m gonna write way more than i should but lmao

okay so first of all, i love the writing. this whole episode had amazing writing but the e20 scenes stood out to me for some reason. it’s that type of dialogue that i really love - the snidey, witty, fast-paced back-and-forth that you don’t see very often (especially in soaps) because it’s not really how people talk. it’s really prevalent when they’re sat down and talking about how to treat louise - there literally isn’t a break in the entire conversation because they’re both snapping at each other. and it’s so good??? like that is how you keep a scene engaging, especially when it’s entirely dialogue: you make it sound like music. gAH danny even delivered it well???? that’s how you know it’s good LMAO

i love how layered the scenes are too. ben’s “because people get married all the time, for many different reasons”?? the look of alarm on ben’s face when keanu says “you’re jealous of her, ain’t you” like for a split second he thinks keanu knows about callum?? we stan?????

the personalities really shine through in these scenes too. yes! keanu actually has a personality in these scenes!!!!! ikr!!!!!!! ben’s such a prick to keanu throughout this whole episode but keanu tells us why with one little line in the middle of it all - “oh, poor ben, daddy doesn’t love me.” like that’s it!! that’s the reason ben’s doing all of this. he’s so bloody jealous of keanu and everything that keanu’s achieved whilst ben’s been away (hell he genuinely believes phil loves keanu more than him) and so he’s going to resort to what he knows best - attacking keanu at his weak points: he’s not a mitchell, he’s poor, etc. but then keanu doesn’t care! he bites back with “i’m a taylor, she’ll be a taylor”. it’s not until ben points out that they’ll be living on the run that it starts to bother him.

and then keanu hits a nerve with “if you really cared about your sister--” and ben gets so annoyed because oh my gOD it’s an essay in itself just how much ben loves his family but is just shit at showing it.

(also the whole speech ben gives keanu about how the taylors are trash and keanu’s dating the boss’ daughter just to get a seat at the table shows how warped ben’s idea is of the mitchell family and how he thinks they’re like the corleones of the square when really they’re just another fucked-up family and being brought up with phil constantly going on about the mitchells are superior has led him to genuinely believe it)

and then the final scene happens and yeah the punch-up is a bit �� but it is a soap and honestly it felt like a really good climax to the build-up of the past scenes. and there’s still so much to get your teeth into because it’s in this scene when we finally get to see how the day has started to properly affect ben because he starts spouting all this about how love gets given and taken away (i choose to see this as mostly a reference to paul but you can’t ignore how he says this literally on callum’s wedding day). and keanu’s so opposed to it - the staunch difference between their two philosophies, ben’s pessimism and keanu’s old af i will provide for my family attitude - it’S SO GOOD IT’S SO GOOD I LOVE SOAP RIVALRIES THEY’RE SO DRAMATIC

keanu wins the fight too, which i actually kind of love bc lbh he deserves to, he’s in the right. i’m not Buzzed about ben getting beaten up again and it was at this point that it started to get silly but you can’t say it wasn’t undeserved. 

lmaoo i wrote so much but thank you anon! i am and will always be a slut for this dynamic and christmas is gonna murder me holy fuck i can’t wait to see ben’s reaction to realising he was right about keanu all along
