Over in EastEnders, Jay is continuing to grieve and attempt to move forward after the death of wife Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lola was diagnosed with a brain tumour and died in May. Since then, Jay, Ben (Max Bowden) and Callum (Tony Clay) have rallied round to support young Lexi (Isabella Brown) and recently, Jay found himself a new friend.<\/p>\n

Jay met Nadine (Jazzy Phoenix) and was taken aback to realise how much she looked like Lola.<\/p>\n
They spent time together but when Nadine attempted to kiss him, Jay said that he wasn\u2019t in a position to move on.<\/p>\n
Nadine \u2013 who works as an escort \u2013 then told Jay he could spent the night and return to Walford the next day, preventing his family from seeing him in such a drunken state.<\/p>\n
