View Full Version : 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 is a bold move by EE but hope it is handled correctly consider the increasing number of attacks on teenager around the whole of the UK

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 :)
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.
I heard this, I think it would be very good, but they need to be careful they dont make it too violent
I also think that they should show how the gang members get arrested and put in jail, with the keys thrown away, otherwise teenies in gangs might think that their actions are being made look good on TV.
It;s be good to see JAmie in this as a proper storyline rather then being a mouthy teen which has been his main role. I think this is a brave move, but i am sure it will be handled properly.

poor jay! he's a sweet little kid! dont like the thought of that storyline
With the increase of this happening in real life, I am not surprised one of the soaps introduced it in the story lines. Should make uncomfortable viewing for quite a lot of people, I think.
It looks good in the magazine the pictures. I think it will make us see another side to Jase as well.

This storyline sounds really good
Hopefully it will give out the message properly that it's intending to do so.

Jay was an idiot to join that gang - he should gave known better than to get involved with thugs like that even if they went to his school. He should have ignored them or told Jase about them. I'm sorry he gets stabbed and it was noble of him to stick up for Dot but still he shouldn't have got involved to begin with.
I agree he's stupid to get involved with them but he feels that his Dad isn't there for him. The gang are welcoming him and he's at that age where it's easy to get in with the wrong crowd if you're left to amuse yourself.
he still looks like catherine tate

He does a bit, you are right. :lol:

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.
Jamie Borthwick (EastEnders' Jay) interview
Jay’s got through quite a few parent figures during his time on the show (Bert, Jase, Dawn, Billy) - do you think Jay truly feels part of the Mitchell family now?
“Well, I think Jay really feels part of the Mitchell family as Billy has been a part of his life for a fair amount of time. Billy and Jay’s relationship has grown. Jay also looks up to Phil, who makes him feel more a part of the family. Yeah, he is truly a part of the Mitchell clan. Jay has become really integral to EastEnders, he has had a busy time with the stabbing, his dad showing up and then him dying. It’s really good as an actor to take on challenging storylines.”
Jay’s started spending more time with Phil lately - do you think Phil sees Jay as the son he wishes Ben was?
“I think Phil sees Jay as the perfect son as he is everything he wants Ben to be; leery, cocky, knows how to fight, etc. He is a tough kid and that is what Phil wants in a son, but he obviously loves his own son more than anything. Phil is happy spending time with Jay, getting to know him and what it is like having the son he always wanted.”
How does Billy feel about this new bond between Phil and Jay?
“Billy feels pure jealousy. He is the one that helped Jay, not Phil. He is the one that took Jay in, not Phil. He is the one that looked after Jay, not Phil. He is also disappointed in Jay.”
What’s Steve McFadden, who plays Phil, like to work with?
“Steve is really interesting to work with; I have learnt a lot from just watching him. He is very focused as an actor and great to work with.
Is it going to be odd with a new actor playing Ben when he returns from prison later this year?
“Obviously it will be different, but it’s just something you have to deal with in this game. I have really taken to Joshua [Pascoe], he is a nice guy, and we have a good rapport. I do miss Charlie [Jones], I haven’t seen him in ages and it would be really nice to catch up with him at some stage.”
Do you enjoy the boxing scenes?
“I do actually. I’m a boxer in real life and I’m close with Harry Holland, an extra on the show who is also a boxer. We always talk about boxing. I have learnt a lot from my trainer Ricky Nash; boxing lessons are like life lessons. What I have learned through boxing really takes me through life. To come to work and do bits of training is like going into a comfort zone for me.”
Did Lucy Beale ever find out that it was Jay who mugged her and will this be addressed when Lucy returns later this year?
“No, she didn’t find, but I’m sure if it ever comes out Jay will be in for a good hiding!”
It’s nearly 4 years since you joined the show, what have been your favourite storylines?
“I liked the death of Jase storyline; it was really brilliantly acted by Perry [Fenwick, who plays Billy], who is a lovely fella. I also love the storylines where every new girl that comes in gets her knickers nicked by Jay!”
You’ve had a lot of gritty storylines, but you also get some really funny lines too. Do you enjoy acting comedy scenes and would you like to have any lighter storylines in future?
“I like doing the lighter storylines and throwing the odd funny line in, but I enjoy the transition to harder hitting stuff as I like to take on a challenge. I would actually like a bit of a darker storyline soon - it is nice as an actor as a change and I haven’t had that in a while.“
Can you give us any hints about what’s coming up for Jay?
“Jay and Ben are busy, there is lots going on there! Jay and Phil’s bond gets a bit stronger. I would like to see Jay get his first girlfriend actually!”
Last film you saw at the cinema:
“Toy Story 3, it was quite good actually.”
Last album you bought:
“Michael Bublé.”
Last TV show boxset you watched:
“Only Fools And Horses! It is my favourite; I know every word to every episode ever.”

No. Billy said a few episodes ago that if Jay ever wanted to change his name to Mitchell all he had to do was ask, but Jay told him that he already had a name. Cos he loved his dad so much.

Sounds like he will become a Mitchell in name soon from the spoilers
EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick has revealed that he has become his Perry Fenwick's on set "lapdog".
The 16-year-old, who plays Jay Mitchell in the BBC soap, told Inside Soap that he has taken to looking after his co-star.
"Perry Fenwick, he's my number one," Borthwick said. "But I'm like his lapdog. I always ask him if he wants a coffee or if I can get him things. But I don't mind with Pel, because he's just my man."
Despite admitting that he is enjoying his character's relationship with Abi Branning, Borthwick joked that he would like to see him date Roxy Mitchell, played by Rita Simons.
"I think Abi and Jay are a good couple," he said. "Jay's a right one - he's already had a crack at Abi's sister Lauren and now he's going for the younger one. He's got an eye for the Branning women.
"I reckon Roxy [would] be a good match for him too - he'd be happy to learn a few things from her, I'm sure!"

Well luckily this is not cougartown!! He's got some cheeck.
Jamie Borthwick has claimed that his EastEnders alter ego Jay Mitchell is well-suited to Lola Pearce.
Over the past few weeks, Jay has been caught up in a love triangle between Lola and on-off girlfriend Abi Branning.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Borthwick outlined his belief that Jay may prefer "fun" Lola over "posh" Abi in the long-term.
"If he had to pick I think it would be Lola, even with the baggage. She's fun, whereas Abi is a bit posh," the actor speculated.
Commenting on the storyline, Borthwick added: "Jay didn't have any women for ages and now two have come along at once! It's like buses!
"It's so hard to act with these two beautiful girls all the time. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it."
When Abi returned to Albert Square in late August, Jay had already grown close to Lola as he helped her support baby Lexi.

Lol, I don't know how they can say Abi is posh. Ok, she might live in a house with her two biological parents, which I'm sure Jay and Lola would have liked, but that hardly makes her posh. Or is this a classic Eastenders attitude that someone who stays in education and wants to do something other than work in the market is posh?
Jay is better with Abi than Lola
EastEnders teen Jay Brown betrays Abi Branning by kissing another girl later this month.
Jay (Jamie Borthwick) allows his romantic attentions to turn elsewhere following a huge argument with Abi (Lorna Fitzgerald).

Jay gets to know barmaid Kitty
Differences between the couple arise when the Square's younger residents head off for their camping trip, during which Abi realises she might be pregnant.
Jay is immediately supportive of Abi and the idea of raising a baby, but he's soon left horrified when his girlfriend explains that she'll be having a termination if a pregnancy test confirms her fears.
It's clear that the pair want different things and as the tension between them escalates, Jay ends up drowning his sorrows alone at a pub.
Jay then becomes increasingly tipsy with flirtatious barmaid Kitty (Chloe May-Cuthill), who had already been on a date with Dexter earlier in the trip.
Kitty is taken by surprise as Jay kisses her, but will Abi or Dexter ever find out?

Is Jamie Borthwick (Jay) leaving?
Due to underuse I'd have him down as one of the next out, but I don't think he's going yet else there could have been a far more satisfactory exit for Lola. Nothing has been announced that I've seen.

When Jay is released he is of course going to go after Lola, Billy called the police on him and Phil don't care about him I cant see him staying which is a shame as Jamie is a great actor but very underused same as Danielle who played Lola
Is Jamie Borthwick (Jay) leaving?
I'd be surprised if Jay leaves. He's been badly underused by DTC - which is usually a death knell - but he's Ben Mitchell's long-term best friend and confidant which makes him an important character. How they'll explain him not following Lola I don't know. Maybe he'll go after her but be back in a few weeks after their relationship fails?
If Jamie does stay on, I hope he's given something decent to do for a change.

It's the EastEnders news we never thought we'd hear - quiet man Jay Brown is finally getting a big storyline.
The young character will get a rare chance to shine in 2016 after a long spell out of the Albert Square spotlight.
When Digital Spy caught up with EastEnders boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins at a press event this week, we just had to ask what was coming up for Jay following readers' claims that he's not used enough.
Much to our relief, the show's executive producer promised that Jay will actually have one of the biggest storylines on screen next year.
Jamie Borthwick, who plays Jay, has already been told about his new storyline and it's thought that he's delighted over what's coming up.

for a soap character!
So I hope they dont change him too much
when he gets his big storyline!

I hope Jay's big storyline is something more interesting than a relationship, although one with Louise would certainly cause a lot of drama. He'd be disowned by the Mitchells (which might not be a bad thing for the character).

Yes, Jay and Abi were together for years. I don't think he'll get back together with her (not in the near future anyway) because there's still too much mileage to be had from the Ben/Abi "relationship".
I can't see it being illness with the news Phil's liver is going to fail because of his drinking.
Something to do with his real family would be good. I always thought it was a shame his dad was killed off so quickly (although I believe it was the actor's decision to leave). Perhaps Jase could be the next character to be resurrected? :D
I think a relationship with Louise is quite a likely scenario the more I think of it because it'd create huge conflict within the Mitchell family - always a rich seam to mine.

your liver has three lobes, and you can cut one lobe away and the ;liver happily carries on - so can remove a lobe that is diseased, or a healthy one to give to someone for transplant
but it is risky in both cases

To justify all the hype about Gavin being
the worst ever EE villian -something extreme has
to happen (imo)
Causing Phil to fall off wagon and endanger his
life and all that matters to him is very bad. I-
would never minimise the effect that alcoholics
have on themselves and famiies - really for the
rest of their lives.
But it has been done before and Mr Asbestos
has come through it and this was meant to
be truly evil.
Phils opinion of himself is very much based on
himself as a certain type of man.(imo)
I wondered if at some time in the past -some
event happened to him - that he has buried
and not faced up to it. He may have confided in
Kathy(to some extent) when they were together.
Gavin being manipulative has got the info out of
her. Gavin has filled in the blanks and when Phil
at real rock bottom - spring his knowledge on Phil
and finish him and his opinion of himself .off
( mentally at least)
Thats just an idea I mull over now and again.
A story with Jay wouldnt necessarily affect my idea!
Have to wait to see how extreme Gavin becomes
( if he does)

I think what we know about Gavin is just the tip of the iceberg (at least I hope so given all the hype about him!). Phil still hasn't admitted exactly what happened when he was kidnapped for a month. I think you're right that Gavin knew which buttons to press to destroy Phil, and that it was mind games rather than (or as well as?) physical torture that did so.

He hasn't had the luckiest time in love, but EastEnders' Jay Brown will befriend a mysterious girl who looks set to change everything.
Jay (Jamie Borthwick) was left devastated last year when his very short-lived relationship with Lola Pearce was thrown into turmoil due to her leaving Walford. To make matters even worse, she later dumped him for their friend Dexter!
Life hasn't looked too rosy for the young mechanic since, but he'll finally be given something to smile about when he hits it off with his new friend Linzi (Amy-Leigh Hickman).
After the pair swap numbers, love continues to blossom as Linzi agrees to go on a date with Jay, prompting him to set about planning a pre-Valentine's surprise.
Unfortunately it looks like Jay is a little out of practice on the romance front as he fails to book a table on time and is forced to come up with a back-up plan - The Arches!
All is not lost though, as Jay gives the grimy garage a bit of a Valentine's-themed makeover. But will it be enough to woo his new love interest?

EastEnders' Jay Brown to be charged with rape? Viewers have strong theories on Linzi Bragg's big secret
EastEnders viewers think they have finally figured out what Linzi Bragg's big secret is .
In Friday night's episode Jay Brown was giving relationship advice to Ben, but if these theories are correct, he may need advice himself, legal advice.
Over the last couple of months Jay has finally found himself a girlfriend and the two are about to take things to the next level.
Some viewers think that Linzi, played by CBBC star Amy-Leigh Hickman, is hesitating on progressing their relationship because she is underage.
Could this be what he's been waiting for?
Especially as EastEnders executive producer Dominic Trredwell-Collins told Metro.co.uk that Jay will have a ‘huge storyline in 2016’.
Meanwhile in Friday night's episode it was Johnny's final day in Walford and he shared a heart-warming moment with Mick, giving him an idea of how to bring the Carters back together.
While this was going on Nancy opened up to Tamwar, admitting that she feels trapped.
Martin had an idea to solve his money problems, but he needed Ian's backing.

*sighs*
I don't want him to win the lottery but finding some stability in life would be good for the program, let alone him.

Drama very rarely equates to happiness in EE. :p
I'm sure Jamie Borthwick is just glad to be getting a storyline, even if it means poor Jay will suffer.
EastEnders has finally given Jay Brown his big storyline - with the unsettling revelation that he's been dating an underage schoolgirl.
21-year-old Jay, played by Jamie Borthwick, made the worrying discovery in the closing moments of Monday's episode (April 18) as he paid a visit to Louise Mitchell's new school.
Viewers saw Jay forced to deal with the latest Mitchell family crisis when Louise got into a fight on her first day.
When Jay arrived to deal with the troublesome teen, he couldn't believe his eyes when he discovered the identity of the pupil Louise had been fighting with - his own girlfriend Linzi Bragg.
Speaking of the drama to come next, an EastEnders insider told Digital Spy: "Jay's world comes to a juddering halt when he discovers the truth about Linzi's age. He immediately realises the seriousness of his mistake - and is set to face severe consequences."
Linzi (Amy-Leigh Hickman) was first introduced to our screens in February, but viewers and the Square's residents had been led to believe that she was a much older girl.
Jay hasn't slept with Linzi, but he had a very close call as he'd been expecting to take things to the next level when they spent time at a hotel that night.
In a move which could spell trouble for Jay, Linzi had even bought herself some new underwear for the overnight stay and sent a revealing picture to his phone as a sneak preview.

With Louise and Bex Fowler both already now in the picture, it's surely only a matter of time before news of Linzi's secret spreads further around Albert Square.
But the big question is, how will Jay deal with the situation and will his reputation be tarnished in the drama that's sure to follow?

EastEnders boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins first promised a big storyline for Jay in a chat with Digital Spy last year, causing much speculation over what would be in store.
Fans had started to speculate that Linzi could be underage recently, but the surprise storyline twist wasn't confirmed officially until transmission on Monday night.

If Jay continues to see her now he knows her real age, he is very stupid
jay didn't sleep with her but the video message she sent him on his phone will get him in trouble
if jay dumps her, she could get more angry even get him punished lie with arrest for rape

Is Jay's mother dead?
I would like his grandfather or some other relative to come into the show for him

There's not much keeping him in Albert Square any more. No doubt he'll be homeless and jobless now. I hope Jamie isn't being written out.

EastEnders fans, rejoice - there could be some happier times ahead for viewer favourite Jay Brown.
Jamie Borthwick appeared on ITV's This Morning today (May 26) and hinted that his character will be forgiven by the Mitchell family before too long, despite being cast out by them a few weeks ago.
Poor Jay became public enemy number one on Albert Square last month when it was revealed that his girlfriend Star 'Linzi' Bragg was an underage schoolgirl. Jay had no idea of this while they were together, but he still struggled to convince the local residents that he'd done nothing wrong.
Speaking about the Mitchells' reaction today, Borthwick laughed: "They've kicked me out at the minute, but I'm really hoping that I shall be back in soon. I can't imagine I'll be out for that long."
Asked how difficult the storyline was to film, Borthwick replied: "Not really, I have to say. Everyone has approached me... when they're saying about it, they're kind of saying it in a bit of a negative: 'Oh, it must have been hard, I don't like that'.
"For me as an actor, it's great to go in and do, so I'm just looking at it like that, really.
"That's just what the show does so well. To be involved in it was brilliant. I was obviously happy that it was something that everyone was talking about."
Borthwick also paid tribute to Barbara Windsor following her emotional exit last week, revealing that she's a "massive" influence on his own career.
He said: "Her husband is my agent, so getting to know her really closely as of late is just lovely. She's a massive influence and she's brilliant and I'm really sad that she's gone."

drug addiction now after drug seller dealer
drug addiction now after drug seller dealer
I really do not know anything about drug dealing and being an addict but from the way a dealer is portrayed in films and tv shows I thought dealers are always clean which is why they make so much money ... although some might start taking drugs themselves though, I guess

Poor Jay he has no one, how could Ben just leave him there :angry:
Actor Jamie Borthwick may have only recently returned to EastEnders, but he's wasting no time in letting spoilers slip.
Borthwick's homeless character Jay Brown previously left the Square after his relationship with underage Linzi Bragg was discovered. However, a chance encounter with Pam Coker at a shelter persuaded him to come back.
Looking ahead, the 22-year-old actor is already filming this year's Christmas episodes and he teased to the Radio Times: "It's not how it usually is this Christmas."
"Expect a bit of a shock. It's a mixture of happy and low-key," he added.
Though we'll miss the explosive festive episodes of yesteryear, we're excited to see this new direction for the soap.
Since Sean O'Connor came on board the series as executive producer earlier this year, EastEnders has taken a more back-to-basics approach, and it appears that will spill over into the holiday season.

happy and low-key,
wow.
Fab.

This approach is certainly working well at the moment and is doing wonders to repair characters ruined by DTC's sensationalism. Unfortunately, slates can't be wiped clean but SOC is definitely trying his best to tidy them up.
he is getting a surprise visitor following on from phil's confession "lies"
luke or luke's daddy evil james, is one of them jay's daddy

It's all a bit mad. I think they'd have been better doing a Dallas shower scene - and skipping over the last couple of years, with a Lucy alive and well.

Jay and Ruby are to become a couple
jase's murder to be revisited as jay comes face to his killer can lola and ben help him
what's jay's revenge plan on dead killer terry?
i do hope the on line talk of an affair for jay and honey is complete lies bull****
he is getting with a lola clone lookalike, arranged by emma to get lexi perhaps? jay cant sleep and wants a lola lookalike
in upcoming scenes, jay will be taking ketamine in an attempt to soothe his grief
Discussing the devastating scenes ahead, Jamie Borthwick, who plays Jay, said: "There is an accident at the house and after that, Jay just cannot cope anymore. He needs to get away from Walford because being around there is just causing nothing but carnage.
"He tries to persuade Gina to come with him to Margate ? he wants to go back there because him and Lola had spent some time there together.
"Gina says she is going to go, but doesn't end up coming. So, on a whim and under the influence, he drives to Margate, but it doesn't quite go to plan."
Jay doesn't reply to Nadine immediately, instead confiding in Gina Knight, who advises him to find out what Nadine wants.
When Jay meets her, Nadine drops the bombshell that she?s pregnant with his baby.
Understandably overwhelmed, Jay rushes off and later struggles to process the news that Nadine is pregnant.
