It has been announced that Eastenders are planning to air a Teen Stabbing which will involve schoolboy Jay Brown being stabbed by a gang of hoodies.
It’s said that Dot Cotton will be the gang’s first target when they begin terrorising her in her own home and on the street it is Shirley who warns them off.
Jay’s home life is turned upside down as his father Jase starts dating Dawn so he decides to hang with hoodies.
A source said that “The gang begin drawing Jay into the unknown when they offer him a knife. But when Jase finds it in his bedroom, he’s furious and collars him. Jay falls foul of the knife himself, however, and viewers will be left wondering if he’ll survive.”
A show insider has said that “This is easily one of the most shocking and controversial storylines EastEnders has ever done. It is not a decision bosses have taken lightly, but it is an issue that is top of the news agenda. We’re going to tread very carefully – it won’t be gratuitous. The plan is to screen the episodes in the usual slots before the watershed. Hopefully by showing the suffering that gang violence can cause, some people may think twice about getting involved.”
What do you think of this should this type of story line be shown before the watershed?
After all the stabbings that are taking place around the country especially London do you think that a story line like this will help matters of make them worse?
