EASTENDERS couples are always being put through the wringer but it seems Honey Mitchell and Jay Brown’s romance could be coming to an end as they struggle to move past their recent troubles.

Honey (Emma Barton) has recently taken a backseat to the drama on EastEnders, while her other half, Hay (Jamie Borthwick), has been thrust into the spotlight…

and not for the best of reasons. He is battling to keep the spark alive in his relationship as his battle with Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) continues, as the two of them have been bickering over what is right and wrong. Honey may need to pack her belongings in forthcoming scenes on the BBC serial, as it appears that yet another romance may end in disaster. Could a fresh start be beneficial to her while the ghosts of her past haunt her in Walford?

Honey has taken control of her destiny in recent months, quitting her work at the Minute Mart due to her unpleasant supervisor Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).

Janet Mitchell (Grace), the mother of two, has started to consider alternative choices for herself after assisting her daughter with her modeling and acting career.

The adored character will have an announcement to make to Jay by the end of next week’s episodes of the evening serial drama.

The young businessman is taken aback when he learns of his partner’s new initiative, and he warns her that it will be difficult for her.

Honey is irritated by her boyfriend’s lack of support and sets out to show him that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to.

This, however, may cause Kate to consider her future in Walford and if she and Jay will be able to stand the test of time.

She may opt to leave the Square, knowing that she needs to start her own business without any hostility.

This would be the end of her relationship, and Jay would be devastated at the idea of losing his best friend.

Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) always warned his ex-wife that their relationship would end badly, but she had no idea how swiftly it would.

As the businessman pleaded for a second opportunity, the mother of two would hold firm and told him she would not change her mind.

This would not be Honey’s first departure from Walford, but it is likely to be her last, as she believes the Square holds too many negative memories of her failed relationships.

She first departed in 2008, when she felt she couldn’t be married to Billy any longer after three years and moved in with her father.

By 2014, she was making cameo appearances on the serial to discuss the custody of their children with her ex-husband and how she intended to send Will Mitchell (Freddie Phillips) to Canada to pursue a modeling career.

It was good at first, but when his contract with the agency was not renewed, Honey chose to return to be closer to the children’s father.

Since then, she’s been a fixture on the Square, starring in a number of high-profile stories, including developing an eating issue and being drugged by a stranger.

Honey’s departure was forced onto the actress who plays her, Emma, by executives who believed it was time for the character to depart.

Although the soap actress was ecstatic to be able to pursue new options in her profession, she expressed her disappointment in having to say goodbye in multiple interviews.

“Despite what others said, I honestly felt there was more mileage for her,” the actress remarked in an interview with the Daily Star.

“However, given that she hasn’t been killed, I suppose there’s still a chance she could return one day.”

“I was in such a bad mood since I had to leave.” She added at the time, “I’ve had a great experience,” and she repeated the remarks in another interview.
“I will miss everyone,” she told The People, “and I already miss going to work every day and being a part of the show.”

“I’m in a bad mood. “I didn’t want to leave,” she remarked, but producers have taken Honey down a variety of paths since her return in 2014.

It might be a complete circle moment for the mother of two to watch her leave as she finally becomes the confident lady viewers have always known her as.

She will have learned a lot about relationships, friendships, and how to stand up to bullies throughout her time in Walford.

It would be sad for the actor who plays Jay, Jamie, to see his co-star leave if she does make an exit as it seems the young soap star has always wanted them to have an on-screen romance.

Explaining how he first met Emma, Jamie said: “Perry [Billy] told me to chat her up, and I remember walking over to her and saying, ‘Alright darlin’…, wow, you smell nice.’

“It brought the house down and we still laugh about it now.

“I love working with Emma. I won’t say what it is, but we have something in common that’s very rare and very special that brings us together.

“I still try and chat her up and say that one day, we’ll get married, but she’s having none of it,” the actor told The Sun

Published

EastEnders character Avani Nandra-Hart, introduced as the secret daughter of Ravi Gulati, is about to be caught up in a major new storyline in upcoming episodes of the BBC soap.

EastEnders’ Aaliyah James made her debut as Avani Nandra-Hart in 2023 and is set to play a central role in a thrilling new storyline this week.

The newcomer, who portrays Ravi Gulati’s (Aaron Thiara) secret daughter, is about to find herself in serious trouble with the law in the upcoming episodes.

Avani’s day takes a dramatic turn when she skips school with Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) and Lily Slater (Lillia Turner), only to cross paths with the shady Marvin, who’s carrying drugs.

When the police arrive, they find Marvin’s dropped stash of pills and take the girls to the station for questioning.

Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) rush to the station to pick up their children, but there’s no one available to answer Avani’s phone, reports Plymouth Live.

Things take a dark turn as the police demand a strip search to see if Avani is concealing any additional drugs.

Her family becomes frantic upon seeing Avani fall apart, and instead of returning to her father Ravi’s (Aaron Thiara) place, she runs off to the playground to take a drink of vodka.

Chaos erupts when Avani’s parents realize she’s gone missing, and they’re shocked to discover her unconscious in the playground.

Off-screen, actress Aaliyah, who is actually 24, has had some fun with the age gap between herself and her character. She joked on Instagram: “Guys… I’m now 15… I mean 24 years old.”

Aaliyah, landing her first significant acting role, has joined the esteemed cast of EastEnders. Prior to this breakthrough, she had a small role as a train passenger in the 2022 BBC One crime drama Inside Man, which featured notable stars such as David Tennant, Dolly Wells, and Stanley Tucci.

Excited to embrace her new role, she added, “I’m eager to bring Avani to life and explore her journey in Walford, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for me.”

Ronnie O’Sullivan ex Laila Rouass breaks silence on split after decade together

Published

Actress Laila Rouass has spoken out about her split from snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan after 13 years together, just days after the couple sparked rumors of a possible reunion.

The Mariposa Ball and Awards isn’t just a glamorous evening; it also supports a cause with significant meaning, according to OK!

The charity behind the event, Mariposa International, was founded by Andy Clark-Coates and his wife Zoe Clark-Coates MBE, providing support to families affected by baby loss. This elegant ball brings together celebrities and supporters in a show of solidarity and remembrance for those who have endured the heartbreaking loss of a child during pregnancy, at birth, or in infancy.

Emotional conversations surrounding baby loss and infertility took center stage as hosts Briony May Williams from The Great British Bake Off and Sky Sports anchor James Green guided the evening at the gala. A particularly moving moment came from Laila herself, who opened up about her personal experience with baby loss, which deeply resonated with those in attendance.

“If you can give time and money to causes you believe in, it creates a support system for those who need it,” the former EastEnders star shared with us.

Laila shared her personal tragedy – the loss of her newborn niece, her brother’s little girl, just a week after she was born – a heartbreaking event that has profoundly shaped her understanding of the importance of charity events. “It can feel very lonely. But tonight is about reminding people that they’re not alone,” she explained.

For this east London creative, who had the privilege of presenting the Employer of the Year award, supporting loved ones in times of sorrow means offering help in any way you can.

“When my niece passed away, I was at the hospital every day. Emotional and practical support is key – cooking or cleaning, so they have a clean home to come back to. A week after my niece died, I went with my brother to return all the things he had bought, like prams, cots, and sterilisers. It was so sad.”

At 53, Laila also addressed breaking the silence around baby loss and infertility. “The more we talk about it, the more normal it becomes – because it is normal. I have friends who have had babies through surrogacy, IVF, and adoption. We need to discuss all of it so that people feel supported in their journey.”

EastEnders fans were shocked to learn that Jay Brown actor Jamie Borthwick is actually related to a former co-star – and it turns out neither of them were aware of it.

EastEnders fans were astonished to find out that Jamie Borthwick, who plays Jay Brown, is actually related to another cast member – a revelation that was new to Jamie as well.

Jamie rose to fame with his role as Jay on the BBC One soap, making his debut in 2006. It wasn’t long before he became one of the show’s most beloved and iconic characters.

His character has been involved in many significant storylines, ranging from shocking affairs and struggles with substance abuse to covering up a murder and uncovering the truth about his past. Jay’s time in Walford has been full of intense drama.

More recently, Jay has been grappling with the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Lola (Danielle Harold), who tragically passed away from a brain tumour in 2023.

Off-screen, fans were shocked to learn that Jamie has a family connection with a fellow co-star. What made it even more surprising was that Jamie himself wasn’t aware of this relationship, according to Plymouth Live.

In 2021, Jamie shared that he only discovered he was related to co-star Charlie Winter after Charlie joined the EastEnders cast.

He recalled: “My great uncle is named Charlie Winter, so when I heard there was a character coming in called Charlie Winter, I thought, ‘No way!’” Jamie then did some research and confirmed his intuition was spot on. He shared: “It turns out we’re second cousins.”

Charlie joined EastEnders in 2018, portraying Mel Owen’s (Tamzin Outhwaite) son, Hunter. However, his character was written out the following year after a storyline where he shot Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) in the Queen Vic.

One shocked fan commented on an EastEnders Facebook page after learning Jamie and Charlie are related: “I would never have guessed they were related, to be honest.”

Another fan expressed their surprise, saying: “No way, I remember the other guy from EastEnders.” A third added with some admiration, “That’s pretty cool, to be fair.”
