The car salesman and undertaker will find his life changed forever this week when Lola (Danielle Harold) loses her life to her terminal brain tumour<\/a>.<\/p>\n Speaking at a press screening of Lola\u2019s final episode, executive producer Chris Clenshaw and Jay\u2019s actor Jamie Borthwick teased what will come next for Jay to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press.<\/p>\n Discussing the impact of Lola\u2019s death on her loved ones, Clenshaw commented: \u201cBilly, Ben, Jay, Lexi, Honey, it will obviously have devastating consequences for the family.\u201d<\/p> He continued: \u201cI think Lola has been in this position where she has been aware of what kind of has been coming down the line. So she\u2019s actually, you know, she\u2019s given some certain requests to the family. You know, she\u2019s asked Jay to make sure that he always is speaking to Lexi, she should put certain things in place.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, in a kind of immediate future, they really pull together as a family, I think and they\u2019re there for each other. But that may not last forever. Yeah, it\u2019s gonna be a difficult, difficult process.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, It\u2019s a sad ending for Lola, but it doesn\u2019t stop there for the rest of the family. Unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n However, when speaking specifically about Jay, he added: \u201cJay will find friendship with an unlikely person.\u201d<\/p>\n It seems that Jay will need this unexpected friend too as he is set to clash with his \u201cbrother\u201d and best friend Ben Mitchell<\/a> (Max Bowden).<\/p>\n Actor Jamie Borthwick added: \u201cYeah, I\u2019m sure the boys are going to clash about the dad thing, particularly, probably Ben and Jay.<\/p>\n \u201cBut in terms of moving on that a bit further on,\u00a0 me and Chris have had brief little moments but we do have a little one to one due to find out exactly what\u2019s going to be going on, so yeah, I\u2019m sure it\u2019s gonna be very very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n Lola\u2019s final scenes will be broadcast on Wednesday 31st May 2023.<\/p>\n For information, help and support on matters associated with this storyline, head to\u00a0Macmillan Cancer Support<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Brain Tumour Research<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Read More<\/strong><\/p>\n EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and from 6am on BBC iPlayer.\u00a0<\/strong>Visit our dedicated\u00a0EastEnders<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0page\u00a0<\/strong>for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/strong>TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
