I really hope he stays with Abi. I like them together and I think it woul ruin the Lola/Abi friendship if Jay got with Lola and I think that friendship is the most genuine. I love the three of them together.

Good interview.

Especially liked him saying he didn't want Jay to be Lucy's killer as it would mean he would be upset to be leaving, it seems unlike some of his other younger co stars he knows its a privilege to be part of Eastenders Good to see Jay have some decent material coming up.

I really hope Lola does not get together with a boring z-list character like Jay. She barely gets anything to do as it is.

He should really leave. He never gets anything more than a few minutes of screentime every few weeks. I don't see what's so great about sticking around forever just to stand in the background doing nothing. He might find a better role in another tv show, play or film.

Well she is with Peter at the moment, who is a Beale and should be regarded as an A list character yet like you say she isn't doing much, perhaps Jay and Lola will create better storyline opportunities for both.

Maybe. Peter is a bland dullard and the Lucy storyline is boring as sin

Imagine if Peter got with Abi? Now that would be interesting to see. That's if the whole Peter/Lauren connection isn't going anywhere.

I think it'd be good if DTC introduced a new guy for Abi though. Someone with a lot of personality.

Jay needs a big storyline now as he has been wasted under DTC.

Ooh, not just DTC. LN had no use for him, which was such a shame considering he showed how he could handle a big storyline, through his part in Heather's murder storyline. I thought he was outstanding in that, and I'd rather see him anyday than watch Max slobbering over a different woman every month.

I think I'd rather see him with Lola, as Lorna Fitzgerald's acting doesn't seem to have progressed (she seemed more natural when she was younger and first on the show) whereas Danielle Harold shows more potential.

Totally agree. Jamie was a good character with lots of potential, but somehow he got completely forgotten once Ben went to prison. They need to give him better material and get him away from the dreadful Abi.

Just give the boy some good material he can really sink his teeth into.

Jamie has been totally wasted and putting him back with Philth after been treated so shamefully has done the character of Jay no favours whatsoever.

Don't waste a character with lots of personality on dull Abi. Send her off to university and bring her back in a few years with a different face. She adds absolutely nothing to the show.

Anyone who is paired up with revision girl Abi will be doomed!

Abi sucked the life out of Jay when they got together, Jay was a fun lad!

Well it took about 10 years for Abi to put out, he must have been overflowing!

That is Max's problem to be fair.

Ever seen a geyser erupt?

I actually really liked Jay and Abi together, thought they were quite sweet.

All this sudden affection for Lola in a romantic way is really annoying, and i actually don't think they have much to offer together. In addition, it would mess up the dynamic between Lola and Abi.

Seriously is there any relationship in Walford that hasn't been ruined by cheating?

Nice interview.

I think Jamie would be quite happy to stay long-term and I think him and Lola have the most potential long-term. When the EE guys were on This Morning in May for the soap awards, it was his first tv interview and he put the others to shame on the EE history quiz. He's obviously a big fan of the show and knows the honour it is to be a part of it unlike another actor I could name who was stealing all Jay's lines in 2013.

Abi feels surplus to requirements and I think they should send her to uni and have her appear on a recurring basis if Lorna is up for it.

Jay looks like he might be busier in the 2nd half of this year. Especially with a Ben return on the cards and him finding out about Max's new flame.
