    Jay Mitchell Brown (Jamie Borthwick)

    EASTENDERS is to screen one of its most shocking storylines ever – when teenager Jay Brown is brutally stabbed by a gang of hoodies.

    The mouthy 13-year-old is left fighting for life after thugs start to terrorise Albert Square.

    Over the coming weeks, the gang will begin to target Walford stalwart Dot Cotton.

    According to a show insider, their behaviour becomes increasingly aggressive and Jay – played by Jamie Borthwick, 14 – joins up.

    But the tearaway ends up a victim, with the audience worrying if he will pull through.

    Although the BBC1 soap has featured stabbings before, the attack on Jay will be the first teenage gang-related attack.

    News of the storyline comes just days after another teenager was stabbed to death in London as a result of gang violence.

    The show insider said: “This is easily one of the most shocking and controversial storylines EastEnders has ever done. It is not a decision bosses have taken lightly, but it is an issue that is top of the news agenda.

    “We’re going to tread very carefully – it won’t be gratuitous. The plan is to screen the episodes in the usual slots before the watershed.

    “Hopefully by showing the suffering gang violence can cause, some people may think twice about getting involved.”

    I think this will be a great story line, lets hope that EE does it correctly..I guess that means Jase will still be around for a while longer.

    If Eastenders handles this well I think it'll be a very good storyline, I like how they pick up current problems not just have divorces and affairs all the time
    Peter: So how many are there? Is it bad? Olivia: Did you eat? Peter: Yeah. Olivia: Well, that's unfortunate.

    This is a really good story to get the ratings back up. Jaime's a good actor can't to see how this turns out. I really hope he doesn't die there is too much potential in his character.

    Jay Brown

    BIG-HEARTED Billy Mitchell’s bid to tame Jay Brown fails after the teen plumps instead for life as a dodgy wheeler dealer.

    It looks like their old grudges will finally be forgotten when Billy bumps into the tearaway on the Square.

    It’s the first time they’ve spoken since Jay suddenly moved away to live with his grandfather, shortly after stealing money from Janine Butcher.

    But just when Billy promises the youngster security and a fresh start, street-smart Jay abuses his trust almost immediately.

    Our Walford source said: “Billy is trying to make a go of things and is taking his job in the Minute Mart very seriously. He feels like he has let Jay down and that he has not been a very good father figure to him.

    “And as a way of trying to make amends, Billy suggests Jay keeps a key to the flat in case he ever needs it for emergencies.

    “Jay continues to hang around and later he teases Billy for doing a cleaning job for only £60 a week, saying he would be better off on the dole.

    “Billy tries to explain to him that you can’t put a price on having a bit of pride in yourself and that earning money means so much more than taking handouts.

    “But it seems Jay is still seduced by the wheeler-dealer lifestyle that his dad Jase used to live.”

    In the Minute Mart, Jay sneaks out to the back room and takes sandwiches and pasties which are past their sell-by date and which he knows Patrick is planning to throw away.

    He then makes off with the food and goes to sell them on George Street at a knock-down price – and manages to make himself the tidy sum of £20.

    But when Billy finds out he is absolutely furious and hits the roof.

    Our EastEnders source added: “Billy is upset but he is still determined to try and tame Jay.”

    Viewers can see the drama as it unfolds on March 9 on BBC1.
