Jay Brown's EastEnders Exit: Car Lot Sold
9 Mar
Summary
- Jay Brown's car lot is up for sale, signaling his permanent departure.
- Jay is expecting a baby with a new partner, confirmed at Christmas.
- Jamie Borthwick left EastEnders after nearly two decades on screen.
EastEnders has confirmed a significant development regarding Jay Brown following Jamie Borthwick's departure from the BBC soap opera. Jay's car lot has been put up for sale, a move interpreted by his family as a final indication that he will not be returning to Albert Square. This news comes after Jay left Walford nearly a year ago to care for an unwell relative.
It was revealed at Christmas that Jay had found a new partner and, weeks later, that they were expecting a baby. His departure in August 2025 marked the end of Borthwick's nearly two-decade tenure on the show. The actor's exit followed a suspension over allegations of using offensive language.
BBC Studios confirmed Borthwick's non-return. The alleged incident occurred during the recording of Strictly Come Dancing 2024 at Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Borthwick issued an apology, expressing deep regret for any offence caused by his use of a derogatory term.
