 Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) has not been coping well since the death of his beloved wife Lola in EastEnders. However, he may soon be set to find new love in a surprising place. Lola tragically passed away from a brain tumour earlier this year after a year long battle, leaving Jay completely devastated. Though she has left behind a number of special videos to help her family remember her, her absence is still sorely felt, by Jay more than most. Recent scenes have seen him watching her videos through tears while responding to her, as though she is still there. In upcoming scenes, he will continue to struggle, but there may be a light on the horizon.

She invites him back to her apartment, and there she attempts to seduce him. Jay, still grieving for the love of his life, turns down her advances. When Nadine later arrives back in the Square, Jay is worried about being seen with her. Will he allow himself to move on after Lola's death, or will he continue to push Nadine away?
