Jay's essentially been disowned by Phil, so he and Ben aren't even adopted/foster brothers anymore. The sexual chemistry between Jay and Ben is palpable. Ben's already shown signs of being attracted to Jay (i.e. trying to kiss him)...

So to TPTB: Get rid of Paul and his mop, and give Johnny someone else to pine over and get these two together ASAP.

Sexuality is fluid, and always subject to change. Sonia considered herself heterosexual before she met Naomi, after all.

When they were hugging Jay was wondering why Ben had left that spanner in his pocket.

It's becoming ridiculous at this point. Jay is the only one Ben has ever had chemistry with. Ben and Johnny might work on paper but in reality Johnny is just too placid and sweet for the volatile Ben. He needs a guy who won't walk all over him. Don't even get me started on the chemistry-vacuum that is Ben and Paul. Jay just 'gets' Ben. And Jamie Borthwick is more than capable of depicting a storyline where he realises that he has feelings for Ben that he's never felt for another man. Come on writers, grow some balls and do it!

It would be a stupid idea. Jay has never once shown any sign that he is gay, i don't want another story where we see a character turned gay. It's like turning a gay character into a straight character.

It's funny , isn't it

And the writers probably regret it . If they just had Jay questioning himself even so slightly at one point , they'd have a gold mine now .

I can see Jay having a one night stand with Ben. Something that just happens. Top possibly, bottom probably.

They did that on Corrie with Marcus a couple of years ago

Gay man in a woman's body. Best of both worlds.

I always knew you were a pervert, but I didn't know you were a poet. Well, sort of.

I do like Paul, but he doesn't offer much and I'm glad he's going.

Paul, Johnny, Ben and Jay are all gorgeous.

If there's going to be a depression story upcoming with Jay its probably not implausible something out of character could happen.

They have had so many scenes like this in recent months, surely the writers must have something planned between these two?

It just seems such a strange type of relationship they have. I mean they aren't brothers in any sense of the word, Jay has a very strained relationship within the Mitchell clan as it is. So why the sudden bond between the two. Its never been this strong or showing this kind of emotion before.

You can sense the director is asking them put an element of sexual feeling to these scenes. The one tonight was so unnecessary yet it was so powerful, its no wonder so many are questioning is this going to become a sexual relationship sometime in the near future?

I think a lot of you are missing the point that Jay is not gay. He has not shown any signs of being gay and the fact that he a close relationship with his gay friend does not make him gay either.

I mean, they could just turn around and make him Bi all of a sudden if they really want Jay and Ben to be together but I don't see that happening

Jay is as straight as they come.

Full stop.

Nuff said.

I think this is all coming from Ben, isn't it? All the 'bruv' lines are from him. I think it's his way of covering for the fact he's in love with Jay.

I like it; it adds an interesting dynamic to their relationship. That unspoken bit of subtext.

As for taking it further, I don't think Jay does feel like that about Ben. And I doubt Ben would try anything again. He's already ruined one friendship, he's not stupid enough to do it again.

I think that's more the writers trying to de-ship them for the viewers .

I think lots of you miss the point of their friendship to be honest. It's reasonably rare to see a straight man be best friends with a gay man on TV in a continuing drama.

Jay honestly doesn't care how Ben labels his sexuality - it doesn't mean anything to him or have any impact on their friendship. Jay is entirely comfortable around Ben, as is Ben around Jay. They can talk about their own relationships just as easily as if they were both hetrosexual or otherwise.

Simply put, Jay is friend with Ben, not a gay man. He isn't homophobic, he doesn't have moments where he feels he needs to prove he is hetrosexuality to anyone around them in case they think he too may be gay. He just doesn't care.

It's incredibly refreshing to see and I love their friendship - throughout everything it has been Ben's strongest redeeming feature (and at times his only one). Both are going through a hard time at the moment - Ben's dad is at deaths door, his gran just died and Jay is on the sex offender register and lost his home and job.

If they ever put them together I'll be fairly disappointed. They've already done the whole 'gay teenager making a pass at his straight friend' and I believe that's enough to put the whole thing to bed.

I like how they seemingly need each other and are incredibly loyal. They probably have the strongest friendship on the entire show.
