EastEnders Star Accidentally Reveals Huge Show Spoiler and Announces Soap Exit

EASTENDERS actor Jamie Borthwick appeared to confirm his character Jay Brown is leaving the soap in a now deleted post.

EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick, who plays Jay Brown, has caused a stir among fans after appearing to reveal a major spoiler and announcing his departure from the popular soap. In a now-deleted social media post, the 29-year-old actor paid tribute to his character, hinting that Jay might have died. The post, which featured a picture of Borthwick as a child star, read: "RIP Jay, gonna miss you lad. We had a laugh didn’t we." Although the post was removed, it had already been seen by thousands of fans.

Speculation about Jay's exit

Speculation about Jay's exit began to swirl as fans of the show remembered the fate of his on-screen wife Lola, played by Danielle Harold, who tragically died from a brain tumour earlier this year. Borthwick's post led many to believe that his character might be following in Lola's footsteps and making a dramatic exit from the soap.

Jay's character struggles

In recent episodes, viewers have watched Jay's life crumble as he has dealt with the heartbreaking loss of his wife. Overwhelmed with grief, Jay has turned to drugs for comfort, and in a recent episode, he put his life at risk by getting behind the wheel of a car while high. The episode ended with a police officer informing someone about an accident, leaving fans worried about Jay's fate.

Borthwick's past comments

Earlier this year, Borthwick spoke about a potential exit from the show, saying that he would be willing to sacrifice a return to EastEnders for a memorable final scene. He mentioned a monologue he had with Danielle Harold's character before her character's death, stating that he would gladly be written off the show as long as he could have a scene featuring a "fox and a rat rummaging through the bins." This statement has only fueled speculation about Jay's future on the show.

As fans eagerly await more information, it remains to be seen how Jay's storyline will unfold and what his ultimate fate will be on EastEnders.
