Jay Brown’s major new storyline revealed in EastEnders spoilers
MONTHS have gone by since Lola Pearce drew her last breath but her loved ones continue to mourn for her.
Her husband Jay Brown (portrayed by Jamie Borthwick) gets a brand new storyline next week in EastEnders.
The beloved hairstylist died played by Danielle Harold in the comfort of her own home earlier this year, surrounded by her husband Jay and her daughter Lexi after battling a terminal brain tumour.
Since then, Jay has been struggling to get back to a normal life without her, particularly as he’s in charge of raising Lexi with Ben Mitchell.
While Ben Mitchell has been finding it hard to cope with his daughter’s education, he has also developed an eating disorder.
Jay has mostly remained on the side-lines as Ben struggled but he’s thrown back into the spotlight.
Coming up next week on BBC One, Jay returns to the Square after a night of walking having not been able to sleep due to grief.
But he’s quickly warmed as he meets a woman named Nadine (Jazzy Phoenix) but things go downhill from there.
In later scenes, Jay apologises to Nadine for his abrupt departure and takes her for a drink in The Albert where the pair put aside the misunderstanding.
Nadine then invites Jay back to hers where she attempts to seduce him.
Unfortunately for her, Jay refuses her advances, clearly not ready for that amount of emotional and physical intimacy.
What will Nadine do?
