Former EastEnders star Harry Reid – AKA Ben Mitchell – has dropped a huge hint that his on-screen bruvva, Jay Brown, is set for a big storyline.

Following yesterday’s news that Jay – played by Jamie Borthwick – will get a brutal beating at the hands of Vic drug dealer, Cal, Harry tweeted his former colleague.
He wrote: “Good luck with your story mate. Message from Ben,” along with two very angry emoji faces (that actually bear a resemblance to his on-screen dad, Phil.)
So it seems that even though Harry has left the soap, he’s still in the know about upcoming plot developments.
Harry recently teased that viewers might not have seen the last of Ben just yet.
Speaking to the Daily Star last month he said: “Ben loves his dad and will always speak to him if he beckons, and he has beckoned, so I imagine they will speak.
“I think that ultimately they’ll sort it out between them and will hopefully have a very nice Christmas 2018.”
He then added: “I think I have given away too much.”
We’re hoping this means that Ben will be back in Walford by Christmas.
The Square’s just not the same without him.
