I think it will be Jay, but again we still have to see if he will spill the beans to Abi, if he does, she will make him do the right thing. I honestly hope this story line does not drag on till Christmas .. :thumbsdow

Joshua Pascoe, who plays Ben, is expected to film his final scenes in the summer.
Yesterday, it emerged that Pascoe had been arrested and bailed in connection with an alleged sex assault. However, reports suggest that it was always the plan for the 16-year-old to leave EastEnders as a natural conclusion to the Heather story.
Discussing the plotline, an EastEnders spokesperson told the Daily Star Sunday: "It will come as no surprise to the viewers of EastEnders that the character of Ben will be departing Walford when the truth finally emerges."
Meanwhile, a show insider said: "Joshua was always going to leave at the end of his current contract due to his storyline. There was no way Ben could stay on the Square long-term after killing Heather. But how it all comes out is a closely guarded secret."
Pascoe was cast as Ben in late 2010, taking over from Charlie Jones.

Thank goodness for that, might be gone by Sept/ Oct , be interesting to see how Phil and Jay are dealt with. Ian's probably out of it with his breakdown. Can't see anything other than Ben gets killed off.
Ex-EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has signed up for a new sitcom on Sky Living.
The Heather Trott actress, who was written out of the Albert Square soap in March, will star in a comedy penned by Benidorm's Derren Litten.
Fergison told her followers on Twitter: "Fab derrin litten yes he of benidorm is writing a new series and i am lucky enough to be playing a character in it ..gonna be fab (sic).
"It is a new series called The Spa. derrin has already tweeted about it and i play a character in it ..rehursals tomorrow and costume fits.
"He is a genious and i love him and his work it makes me laugh out loud always and cant wait."
Sky Living's The Spa, produced by Tiger Aspect, will also feature Rebecca Front of Grandma's House fame and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet's Tim Healy, as well as Debbie Chazen and Nadine Marshall.
The 48-year-old appeared on Celebrity Come Dine with Me alongside Kerry Katona, Lionel Blair and Keith Harris on Sunday night (May 27).
She has also reportedly signed up for this year's second series of Celebrity Big Brother.
Litten's The Spa, which will contain eight episodes, is expected to be broadcast later this year.
EastEnders character Shirley Carter will soon make a discovery that could see her best friend Heather's killer brought to justice, it has been reported.
The Daily Star claims that Shirley (Linda Henry) will find the photo frame that Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe) hit Heather (Cheryl Fergison) over the head with before she died while browsing in a charity shop.
Shirley promptly goes to the police with news of her discovery, determined for Heather's killer to face the law.
It has also been reported that Shirley will ask long-term partner Phil (Steve McFadden) to marry her in a further bid to keep an eye on both him and son Ben.
"Maybe she thinks keeping him close will put her in the perfect position to spy on him and Ben," a production insider told the paper. "She's not going to give up until she's brought Heather's killer to justice."
An EastEnders spokesman declined to comment on the rumours, saying: "We never comment on future storylines as we don't want to spoil the surprise for viewers."
It has been confirmed that Pascoe will depart Albert Square, although no further details surrounding Ben's exit have been revealed.
quite frankly this story line has dragged on way way way way too long,,,,time for them to DISCOVER whodunit...
Let's hope it will be in an explosive story that will rock the Square.....Quote:

Review from this week's Radio Times for next Tuesday's episode (10 July):
"Ben Mitchell has literally got away with murder over the past months (while, to be brutal, actor Joshua Pascoe who now plays him has got away with it metaphorically)."
And so say all of us!!!
Cheryl Fergison has admitted that she struggled to cope with life following her departure from EastEnders.
The Heather Trott actress, who was evicted from Celebrity Big Brother on Friday, stated that she has "only very recently" moved on from the BBC soap.
Fergison's character Heather was killed by Ben Mitchell in March, after the 48-year-old's contract was terminated by producers.
She told the Daily Star: "I didn't allow myself to have a grieving process when I left EastEnders. When they killed me off it was like losing my family or losing my friends.
"Suddenly not being part of a secure institution was hard. Only very recently have I finally put my grieving process away. That is what I really needed."
Meanwhile, appearing to criticise the on-screen fallout from Heather's death, the star is quoted as claiming that bosses "could regret" writing her out.
"They could regret it. Although I think the storyline has gone on and on for too long," she added. "But I only expected to be there for three years at first, so every year was a bonus. You can never take anything for granted on EastEnders."
Speaking more positively, Fergison revealed that she is glad she will not be offered the chance to return to EastEnders, adding: "The temptation is always there for actors, especially if they tempt you with money and you haven't been working much. But I won't have that problem."

We're used to soaps stretching storylines to bring characters back from all sorts of near-death (or even actual death) experiences, but this one might even be a bit much.
Cheryl Fergison, who played EastEnders' fan favourite character Heather Trott, is calling for bosses to bring her back, despite being killed via a photo frame to the head.

The actress played Shirley Carter's best friend and George Michael superfan, 'Hev', from 2007 to 2012, until Ben Mitchell murdered her while trying to steal her money.
However, she has came up with a possible – tenuous, but still doable – storyline twist to see her on the Square again.
Cheryl took to Instagram to pitch a long-lost twin storyline to EastEnders bosses.
She captioned the post: "Ok so I’ve had lots of people asking if I could go back to @bbceastenders as Hev's long lost twin... so writers there's a challenge and actually there is a storyline that could defo make that possible...
"Remember Hev's mum ( she was a wicked one) and aunt babes terrible past story of selling babies !! ...if you would like to see this epic come back let @bbceastenders know ..."
So, EastEnders writers, you have your challenge. Let's see what you can come up with.
:hmm::nono::nono::nono:
I have to say I did think it a bit odd that she was mentioned in Eastenders last week for the first time in years.....Quote:
