And next week viewers will see Billy continue to sulk as he asks Phil for work.
Phil isn’t impressed by Billy’s snide comments and sticks up for Jay.
Later, Billy lets his anger overcome him and tells the kids about Jay and Honey.
When Honey suggests to the kids that they have a chat about her and Jay, Billy turns up late.
Honey reaches the end of her tether and tells Billy to get his things and leave.
Later in the week, Billy is hurt when Jay buys the kids new trainers and grows determined to get a new job.
But when his shift doesn’t go to plan at the call centre, he asks Vinny about dealing drugs.
Vinny gives Billy a drugs package and Billy promises him he knows what he’s doing.
Will he go through with it?
Speaking about how a romance between Honey and Jay would upset her ex Billy, actress Emma Barton recently told Metro.co.uk: “If anything did happen, it would be very complicated and cause quite a bit of drama because she, Jay and Billy have such a history together and poor Billy, he still loves Honey very much.”
She added: “It might cause a lot of conflict.”
And speaking about her character’s love life ahead of her return to the soap last September following a nine month break, actress Emma Barton revealed that she wants her character to get back together with Billy – and not date Jay.
Talking to Radio Times, Emma revealed: “I’m not going to lie, speaking as Emma I do think Honey and Billy belong together.
“They write so brilliantly and truthfully for them so it’s not like they will just simply pick up, there is always a journey with those characters and I love that.
“Let’s see where her and Billy’s relationship goes…”
