<\/p>\nEastEnders fans reckon the soap could see the return of Nadine – and she\u2019ll be back with a huge bombshell.<\/p>\n
The blonde beauty and sex worker, played by Jazzy Phoenix, made her soap debut in September. She arrived in Walford and soon got the attention of Jay.<\/p>\n
As fans will recall Jay (Jamie Borthwick) has faced heartache in the past 12 months following the death of Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold). Lola was tragically killed off from the soap in May after battling a brain tumour.<\/p>\n

After meeting Nadine, he found comfort in the soap newcomer. At first, he merely paid her to sleep next to him after he was unable to switch off at night.<\/p>\n

Things then took a dark turn for Jay – who has been on the soap since 2006. Unstable and on a downward spiral, he ended up begging, and ultimately scoring, some drugs from Nadine.<\/p>\n
The pair also had sex for the first time which caused the beloved character to spiral further. After getting kicked out, Jay got involved in a horror car crash while under the influence of drugs. Luckily, he pulled through and has been on the road to recovery since.<\/p>\n
