A massive revelation.
As Eastenders fans will know, Jay Brown has been like a son to Phil Mitchell since his own father died, Jase Dyer, died.
Phil recently made the decision to give Jay the car lot, a generous call by any stretch of the imagination, but now the real reason behind this has choice been revealed.
Jay has always believed that his father was killed by a gang but in tonight’s episode, Phil said that it was him who actually murdered Jase.
This led people to question the storyline because many people remember Jase’s death aired on the soap.
Am I imagining Jase Dyer being killed by a gang of thugs or…? #eastenders

Oh for goodness sake Jase being murdered was a brilliant storyline. Years later let’s ruin it pretending it was in the car lot ? #EastEnders

How did Phil murder Jason? #eastenders I recall Jason being attacked by 2 men but at his home, not at the car lot?!

In dramatic scenes, Phil told Jay that the car lot was where he killed Jase and of course, this revelation came as a major shock to Jay.
‘I killed your dad’. ?
Four life changing words for Jay, what will he do with them? ??

However, that’s not all for there have also been questions raised about whether Jase is actually Jay’s father and if Phil was actually referring to someone else entirely.
As longtime Eastenders viewers know, there was a fire at the car lot years ago and a homeless man sleeping in one of the cars died.
This has led people to question whether this man was Jay’s father and not Jase at all.
#eastenders so whoever died in car lot fire was jays real dad huh that was years ago wouldn’t make any sense :s
