EastEnders fans break down in tears as Jay Brown’s fate is revealed after horror car crash
EASTENDERS fans have broken down in tears after Jay Brown’s fate was revealed tonight.
The used car salesman – who is played by actor Jamie Borthwick in the ITV soap – was involved in a horror car crash last night after driving while under the influence of drugs.
In tonight’s episode it was revealed that Jay had survived – but barely.
He is in hospital in an induced coma with life-threatening injuries and an uphill battle to survive.
Callum said: “They said he ploughed straight into a tree. He’s got swelling on the brain and they’ve had to put him into an induced coma. I’ll call you when I know more.”
As Billy and Honey finally managed to track which hospital Jay was at, they were stopped from seeing him until Callum pulled rank and got them in.
They called Ben and Lexi and put them on speakerphone so they could talk to unconscious Jay.
Lexi told him: “I don’t know if you can hear me Jay. I know you feel bad but I don’t want you to feel bad. I just want you to come home Jay. Please, please come home Jay.”
Ben then added: “Jay it’s Ben. I don’t know what to say. You’re my brother from another mother.
“Seriously you’re my brother. I know you need me to forgive you but I need you to forgive me. For everything that I’ve said and everything I’ve done.
“I didn’t mean it. I need you to live Jay, alright. I need you to wake up. I need you by my side. I need my brother. I love you.”
Ben’s words reduced everyone to tears and it became too much for Honey and she left.
Billy then told Jay: “There’s so much love for you Jay. So wherever you are now, you need to come back. You’ve got to fight.
“You have to live because you’re my son. You’re the son that I chose. I’m begging you son, don’t die. Please don’t die.”
The scenes had fans breaking down in tears.
One wrote: “Aww this was SO touching! I hope Jay can hear the messages from Billy, Lexi & Ben”.
A second said: “Callum must have put a good word in at the hospital for Billy and Honey to end up seeing Jay in the end.
“I wish we got to see that scene when Callum put the word in on Billy and Honey’s behalf. Callum was actually quite good in tonight’s episode.”
Another added: “Heartbreaking! Please don’t die, Jay I think you’re going to have a lot of support once you pull through from this”.
