BBC/Composite: EastEnders Insider Share By Joel Harley Jul 15 2025 By Joel Harley Jul 15 2025 EastEnders fans confused by 'plot holes' as Jay calls Julie about Nigel Jay took matters into his own hands Jay Brown Nigel Bates Share By Joel Harley Jul 15 2025 By Joel Harley Jul 15 2025 Fans of EastEnders have been left confused by recent ‘plot holes’ following Jay Brown‘s call to Julie last night (Monday, July 14). Having grown concerned about Nigel after hearing him talk about his marriage, Jay decided that Julie should be told about his dementia. As Nigel explained soon after arriving back in Walford, he’d chosen to leave Julie so as not to be a burden on his wife. This means that she has no idea where he is – nor where he’d gone – and knows nothing about his dementia diagnosis. Phil tried to change the subject, convincing him to let things lie. However, after speaking to Yolande, Callum and Kat, Jay was more determined than ever to do the right thing.

And while many thought Jay’s call was the right thing to do, other wondered what Julie had been doing all this time. “You’re telling me that for all this time Julie reported Nigel missing and never bothered to check the very place they met each other?” asked one fan on X. “One thing I’m a bit confused about with Nigel and Julie is why, when she’s clearly very concerned about him being missing, she hasn’t thought to check Walford or get in touch with anyone there. She knows them, you’d cover every possibility if your husband is missing,” pointed out another. “I’m actually surprised Julie hasn’t called the police to report Nigel missing. Like he could be dead for all she knows,” another agreed. Why has it taken Julie so long to get to Walford? Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders?
