message: Where has it ever been stated that in EastEnders, Jay is short for James?  The name Jase is clearly short for Jason, that I don't have a problem with.  The name Jay, according to Wiki as of now, would suggest it's short for Jason, James, Gerald or George.  Since the kid's probably been named after his father at some point in the character's life, it's most likely Jason or James.  NKTP (talk) 10:23, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

message: He claimed he had no family left when Jase died...what about Bert? Or does Jay not consider him family as Bert couln't look after him properly? db1987db (talk) 13:27, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yeah that's true...I remember Bert seeing that Jay would be alright staying with Jase, so left... db1987db (talk) 17:46, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that Jay's surname has been changed from Mitchell to Brown but he is still being credited as Mitchell but on the program Jay refers to him self as Brown?--Anna2123456789 (talk) 18:58, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: On the official BBC Website his was listed under the Mitchells section for a while, however having checked today, I reliazed he has been moved to Others, and is now down as Jay Brown. So, Brown. — M.Mario (T/C)  21:24, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah I thought it odd when he said his name was Jay Brown the other day, and Billy told him off for giving his real name! This is good, though. –AnemoneProjectors– 16:19, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesnt make much difference to us here. Obviously Jay is using his old surname as he doesnt feel he belongs to the Mitchells any more. That said, he did change his name by deedpoll, and unless he's changed it back he is still legally a Mitchell. Anyways he is listed as Brown on here, and I see no reason to change that unless we can prove that he is more commonly known as Mitchell, despite what he calls himself on the show. Bleaney (talk) 17:07, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: True. This discussion was about the article lead rather than the title. I guess for the lead, we should go with what the credits say, which is Mitchell. –AnemoneProjectors– 17:18, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Noticed that Summer, William and Janet are listed as his adoptive and foster half-siblings. Whilst this is factually true, is it really needed here? If anything - Ben should've been listed as a foster brother. Alex250P (talk) 17:56, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: But Billy fostered Jay, not Phil. You may have a point, but Ben was more of a best friend. Maybe we should remove them all...? –AnemoneProjectors– 18:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think they should all be removed. Billy never adopted Jay, just fostered him, so he has no legal half-brothers or sisters from Billy's side. There is probably more of an argument to list Ben & Louise as his adopted siblings, as Jay did change his name by deed poll to become a 'Mitchell' after he left Billy to stay with Phil. But seeing as He has been disowned by Phil, and Jay was too old to be 'adopted' legally by Phil, I feel that Jay should have NO brothers or sisters listed here. Bleaney (talk) 19:53, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, but what about Summer, as I remember Dawn added Jase's name on her birth certificate - making him her legal and adoptive father Alex250P (talk) 00:13, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If she did, then fine. I'm guessing Summer & Jay shared scenes together???? If they did then Summer is his half sister and should be listed. Bleaney (talk) 00:16, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: They did yes, Jay had a lot of scenes with Dawn/Summer especially after Jase's death, I think she should be listed and maybe Billy as his foster father - but not the others. Alex250P (talk) 00:22, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

text: I agree about Summer being listed then, but not Billy. Bleaney (talk) 00:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Billy IS his foster father so SHOULD be listed. Summer, being adopted by Jase, should then be listed as Jay's adoptive half-sister. But definitely not Ben (as Phil has not adopted Jay and anyone can change their name to anything by deed poll, it doesn't make them related), and I agree that we probably shouldn't list Janet and William for the reasons given. –AnemoneProjectors– 10:22, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Half-brothers and sisters?

message: Jay did leave the show on 9 September 2016. But do we know that he is never returning? Metro published an article on 9 September 2016 that stated: "We aren’t able to give away whether this is the last time you can expect to see Jay…" Is it possible he is taking a temporary hiatus?

thread_title:  Jay ‘Brown’ 

message: Is it possible if anyone who knows the correct way of doing it, can update Jay’s character picture to a promotional or snapshot picture of him that has been taken more recently. His current image has been there since 2011 and the actors look has matured since then. The character is 28 years old now and not the 17-year old he was at the time of his current picture. 2A02:C7C:360D:1600:659F:171A:EF26:190E (talk) 02:19, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
