Jamie Borthwick...
One of the best young Actors on the show who is currently underused - next week Jay goes after Lola - clearly Jamie deserves better material than another love triangle storyline?

I really don't like how characters seem to be changing to suit the Lucy storyline. Alright, Jay kissed Kitty but that was a knee jerk reaction to Abi thinking she might be pregnant.
This Jay/Lola thing is mainly being done to create tension between Peter/Lola before the Lucy SL kicks off. |

Don't think he is too far down the axe list to be honest although I suspect abi maybe top of that.
She seems to have completed disappeared under the new producer. I noticed Lola has been promoted to the older young group so that might suggest jay and Abi's days are numbered . Jay mainly seems to be buying chips in a lot of scenes these days or sitting on benches |

Abi should definitely go to uni - I quite like her character now she has matured but really what can she do on the square? There isnt any stories to tell with her now and if she breaks up with Jay then there is even less for her to do. Maybe she could commute to uni like Libby did for a bit lol OR if they do want to keep her give her vocational work at a vets.
I always thought they should give Jay a really big and meaty story. I "wanted" him to have a car accident and end up in a wheelchair...showing how a young lad tackles disability could be such a good story for EE. But no they would rather he kisses Lola... |

He has only been in 10 episodes all year, abi 9
I think the new producer seems to prefer the older characters as you noticed outwith the carter kids the episode count for them is quite low. Lauren is appearing more again and after a quiet start and she will be in it a lot after quiet start and will still be high in the episode count probably |

Maybe Abi could leave for a bit but then transfer to a London uni because she didn't like being away from home? It would give Jay a chance to get another storyline and Abi a chance to mature a bit?

Criminally underused, almost to the point of annoying, he one of the best young actors on the show, tbh a cheating storyline is yawn, breaking him & Abi up, fine its acceptable, its a natural progression, they've lasted longer then most on the show as a couple but nothing is happening with them so moving on to a next chapter is good for both, but I think his capable of more then then a cheat s/l.
It seems Abi is being fazed out, would not be surprised if LF is put on recurring status now her character is supposedly going to Uni. |

Jay was at his best with Billy, then Ben, and yes, Lola.

And this will lead to Abi being so distraught she will fail her exams. Predictable. Anything to keep characters out of higher education.

Who?
![]() Seriously Jamie is just another victim of TPTB playing favourites. He should have been coping on his own instead of being Philth's minor stooge. Jay was the best young character on the show, now he is totally invisible.

He should've been the one shagging Max.

![]() ![]() He's criminally underused, I think that will continue. I prefer Lola/Jay as friends, I'm angry what they are doing to Peter I was all for 'Pola' at the beginning, shame that it has been ruined. |

Not only would I put Jay with Lola but I'd have a Sonia/Jamie storyline with Lola and Jay which would bring out Jamie Borthwick's acting talents even though it would be at Lola's expense. A depression storyline could work there or something along those lines. Abi should really go, I'm beginning to think that she's unnecessary and there needs to be a successful Branning. Put Lauren and Peter together and then have a twisted Cindy/Ian-type relationship. That way Max is alone as the only Branning and then you could start the process of reigniting the Branning flames once again.

Jay is such an average character, I have no idea what you all see in him. He is pretty dull and bland IMO anyway.

It would be interesting to see the Jamie/Sonia/Martin story replayed with Lola/Jay/Abi. Perhaps Abi goes off to university and becomes a "success", Jay gets with Lola but Lola is killed before her time. A few years down the line Jay would reunite with a returned Abi.

Lola and Jay would only cause each other to regress to the juvenile delinquents they used to be and three years of character development would be wasted. Having Phil's unofficially adopted son helping to raise the daughter of his biological son and niece/cousin (whatever relation Lola is to Phil) while cousin Ronnie is obsessed with her own sister would only make the Mitchells even more creepy and incestuous. |
