Jay looked rough he's lashing out at ben and Calum he is going through greif every body wants to help him but jay is putting up a barrier jay can't cope lexi is taking it well she's a warrior
like Jay but watching him grieve a woman he was only married to for a few short months while continuing to make bad choices with zero consequences has been exhausting. The character needs a rest
Aside from a couple of weeks around the marathon/Nadine stuff in April, Jay has barely been in focus onscreen for the last 9 months or so. He’s most certainly being rested already. I also wouldn’t say he’s faced zero consequences either. He’s lost his drivers licence for 3 years and has no relatives left other than a foster family that he once again discovered would rather turn their back on him & leave him to rot instead of actively trying to help support him. Oh and not to mention he got scammed by a hooker with the promise of the one thing he most wants in the world - some offspring. That’s gotta hurt…🫣
Ben and Callum should have been their Jay and supported him in his time when he lost Lola rather than pass down judgement and be absolute P***ks to him in the process!!
What about Lexi’s or Billy’s life after Lola? Why haven’t we seen anything about how they’ve been doing without her? Why is the focus all on Jay? Lola and Jay were never the big love story the show made them out to be. I also find the whole parental responsibility thing very offensive. You spent years building up Callum’s bond with Lexi, only to sideline Callum in the lead up to Lola’s death and claim that Jay has been her most important parental figure all along. When was that established? He was never more than an uncle to her. Why did he get parental responsibility over Ben’s husband of three years, who actually has a fatherly bond with Lexi? The aftermath of Lola’s death has been terrible.
@@leonnehaaijman4709 You’re not the only one. I know many queer people who stopped watching when the parental responsibility storyline began. They were disappointed by the erasure of gay parents and the homophobic undertones of the story.
The aftermath of Lola’s death has been one of the most embarrassing and garbage and homophobic sexist ridiculous things I’ve seen for ALL CHARACTERS (Lola, Lexi, Billy, honey, jay, Callum, Ben, etc) involved. These actors in this storyline are all so natural together … all the characters have so much history and they just bombed it into to nonsensical shreds.
In fairness, that’s not strictly true. Jay only got the month of October last year focused on his grief whereas prior to that, both just before and after Lola died, it was more focused on Ben’s denial & his eating disorder (whilst everyone assumed Jay was coping in the background). Which is fair enough as Ben needed follow up after his rape plot. And Billy has recently come into focus again now (with his new family) as the actor was unfortunately unwell during filming periods for Lola’s story. Billy has had quite a bit of focus lately, including on his grief for Lola. Only Lexi hasn’t had enough focus yet, perhaps due to the actor being a minor and not being able to film as much by law. However, she’s got a lifetime of issues to come from losing her mother and plenty of milestones without her. I suspect she’ll flip out at some point - she’s lost a lot recently. I can’t say I entirely disagree about the PR mess - there was no need for Callum to have been as sidelined as he was. But aside from a couple of months around the marathon/Nadine stuff, Jay has barely been onscreen since last year, and after years of underuse, I don’t resent him a little bit of spotlight for 1 year - he deserves that. You also don’t have to view Lola & Jay as endgame - most of us didn’t. All that needs to be believable for his grief to make sense, was that Jay loved her more than she loved him. And that was always the case, hence why this bereavement was one too many and tipped him over the edge. With that said, I hope EE start moving Jay on beyond the ghost of Lola now as the show is milking her death a bit now and he needs a new way forward.
You guys should bring Nadine back. She and Jay had actual chemistry… which imo is rare for Jay’s relationships ngl 😂. So? Bring back Nadine. Also obviously Max Ben (I mean you guys “took” the award winning tumor storyline somewhat from his own personal trauma 🙄) and Kim Sam too.
Lola was an incredibly boring character. Her death storyline was the only decent story she ever had. She is NOT an iconic character, and quite frankly I'm sick of hearing about her. She's mentioned almost every episode, and there's a picture of her in the Vic, as if she's Peggy Mitchell or something. Plenty of FAR better characters have died on EE: Pat, Dennis Rickman, Steve Owen, Tiffany Mitchell, Dot, Peggy, Paul Trueman, etc. And they didn't get mentioned every single week well over a year after their deaths. And the actress came off as completely unlikeable and two faced on I'm a celebrity. Stop mentioning her already. Nobody cares.
Now I do totally think they’ve overdone it with almost making Lola into a martyr after death 😂. It’s become ridiculous, especially when so much of it hasn’t been centered around LEXI.
@mechellemybell1000 she was boring as hell, she even got axed for several years because she was boring. She was.... a chav.... and a mum. That's all I can really say about her, there was nothing else to her.
"He's holdin' ya fake baby!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The old man is the villain from movie "snatch" 😂
Stevie?
Yeah brik top from snatch
@@lukeharvey1059 👍🏻
I've got no time for grassers
How about a compilation of Jays and Lolas life together????? 😀
I feel like they did one around the time Lola was dying.
Jay looked rough he's lashing out at ben and Calum he is going through greif every body wants to help him but jay is putting up a barrier jay can't cope lexi is taking it well she's a warrior
2:13 you look a bit like her i like how he pointed that out to her 💯
A bit of a car crash. Jay hasn't coped with Lola's death at all, even Lexi has been more mature about it than he has.
Nadine is so beautiful where did they find her I hope they bring her back reformed
Jay s in a right state
I Don't Think Lola Would Want This For Him
like Jay but watching him grieve a woman he was only married to for a few short months while continuing to make bad choices with zero consequences has been exhausting. The character needs a rest
Yh he may have only been married to her a few months but they were close since teenagers and he made bad choices whilst he was grieving

Yeah they were only married a few months but they’ve known eachother for years and always have been best friends
Nah you're ignoring their decade of history before that
It's not real
Ben and Callum should have been their Jay and supported him in his time when he lost Lola rather than pass down judgement and be absolute P***ks to him in the process!!
They were just looking out for Lexi. Jay took ket on their sofa and put Lexi through so much pain. They had every right to tell him to fix up.

I started watching EastEnders again last year after about 15 years. This particular storyline is the only one I still haven't figured out.

I still want Jay and Lauren to be together.

Jay is in pain cause his wife died a young woman her whole life ahead of her jay took to cocaine to block out lola's death

They need to change her her style first. Getting with someone who looks like your deceased girlfriend is weird.
