EastEnders star Max Bowden has teased a \u2018very different\u2019 year ahead for character Ben Mitchell. <\/p>\n

The actor, who plays Ben on the BBC One soap, caught up with Metro.co.uk at the Inside Soap Awards to discuss what\u2019s ahead, and he promised some \u2018turmoil\u2019 in the immediate future.<\/p>\n

\u2018In episodes coming up soon, Ben and Jay have a bit of turmoil,\u2019 revealed Max. \u2018With the fallout of Lola\u2019s death, everyone is dealing with their grief in different ways. <\/p>\n

\u2018Ben tries to be the adult in the situation without<\/em> actually being an adult!\u2019<\/p>\n

Jay (Jamie Borthwick), as viewers know, has struggled since Lola\u2019s tragic death, with recent scenes having seen him spend time in the company of escort Nadine (Jazzy Phoenix), who bares a striking resemblance to his beloved wife. <\/p>\n

As a result, he\u2019s been sneaking out of the flat in the small hours of the night, which doesn\u2019t go unnoticed by Ben, with he and Jay coming to blows next week, which are likely the scenes which Max is referring to. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not all conflict, however, with Max revealing that there is also \u2018a lot of beauty\u2019 in what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

\u2018The brothership of Ben, Callum and Jay becomes set in stone,\u2019 he told us, \u2018and we\u2019ve got a lot with [Lexi]. It\u2019s going to be an interesting year I think \u2013 and very different!\u2019<\/p>\n

Consider our interests piqued!<\/p>\n

Max, who took over the role on Ben four years ago, has received acclaim for his performances, with fans having crowned him Soap Superstar at the Inside Soap Awards. <\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m incredibly humbled,\u2019 he said of the win. \u2018I\u2019m not a superstar, I work<\/em> with superstars. Everyday I get to work with Perry Fenwick, Emma Barton, Jamie [Borthwick] and Danielle [Harold]. I\u2019m a product of their<\/em> work. I\u2019m eternally grateful, incredibly. <\/p>\n

Ben\u2019s a difficult character \u2013 he\u2019s got a lot of deep rooted issues. Unhatching them is a joy for me as an actor so to know that it\u2019s resonated means a lot.\u2019<\/p>\n
