The actor was speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press about Jay\u2019s current storylines, which have seen him learn he\u2019s set to become a father<\/a> to Nadine Keller\u2019s (Jazzy Phoenix) unborn baby.<\/p>\n At the same time, both Jay and Borthwick himself are due to run the London Marathon after months of intense training.<\/p>\n Amid discussing Jay\u2019s baby bombshell and Lola Pearce-Brown\u2019s (Danielle Harold) legacy, Borthwick was asked what he would choose for Jay if he had the chance to plot out a storyline himself.<\/p>\n \u201cIf, one day, Ben Mitchell walks back in, maybe Ben and Jay can go off and do a kind of Phil and Grant thing \u2013 what they did with Cindy\u2019s baby, do you remember?\u201d<\/p>\n Fans were heartbroken \u2013 and so were we<\/a> \u2013 when Jay\u2019s adoptive brother Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) was jailed for fraud, and later sentenced to serve six years in an American prison.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s clear that the character was still in the star\u2019s thoughts as he mapped out his ideal story.<\/p>\n \u201cIn Italy, in [the 1990s], I think it was maybe the year I was born! This\u2019ll make Steve [McFadden] feel old, but I\u2019d love them to go off and do something like that, you know, a real kind of \u2018the boys are back in town\u2019 kind of thing.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d love them to go off together and do a bit of\u2026 get involved in some mischief. I\u2019d like that, that\u2019d be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n The EastEnders story in question saw Ben\u2019s father Phil (Steve McFadden) and uncle Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) head to Italy in search of Cindy back in 1997.<\/p>\n On the run after hiring a hitman to kill Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), Cindy was found by the two brothers, and she returned to Walford \u2013 only to finally be arrested.<\/p>\n Facing up to her charges, Cindy revealed she was pregnant by boyfriend Nick Holland (Dominic Taylor), who abandoned her. That baby became Cindy Junior (played by Mimi Keene), Cindy faked her own death and the rest is history!<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n We certainly like the idea of Jay and Ben teaming up to channel the Mitchell brothers on a vigilante mission or otherwise, but in the meantime, Jay and Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) are heading up the infamous family as they take on the London Marathon.<\/p>\n Chatting to RadioTimes.com<\/strong> and other press, Barton was surprised to hear that Honey is now the last Mitchell woman standing on the Square! Does that make Honey the new matriarch of the family, and would the actress like to take on that title?<\/p>\n \u201cAww, that\u2019s lovely, actually, I hadn\u2019t really thought of that! Of course, just to have that sort of role, the Mitchell women are renowned for being extremely strong.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve seen some really strong sides of Honey when she\u2019s needed to, and especially when it comes to her family \u2013 that\u2019s when she really will step up.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we have, really, as Honey\u2019s grown over the years, we have seen that, and I think she\u2019s got a good pact with Phil now, a good relationship with Phil. I think he\u2019s suddenly got a bit more respect for her, and she has him.\u201d<\/p>\n Fondly recalling the iconic catchphrase of ultimate EastEnders matriarch Peggy Mitchell, played by the late, great Dame Barbara Windsor, Barton added of Honey\u2019s own potential era: \u201cI need a new phrase, rather than, \u2018Get Out Of My Pub!’\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Jay](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/473044-46a3456.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"473044,EastEnders\\"\/")
