Lord further stated that I hope it would be nice if the relationship worked out, but also mentions "Jay's a bit uncomfortable. But the real problem is that Dawn’s very full-on, so Jase hasn’t as much time for him and consequently Jay gets involved with a dangerous street gang." He stated the worst thing is that Jay may end up fighting for his life. Jay's stabbing was aired on 22 January 2008 during a fight. Lord explained Jay is his life and he'll feel he's failed him. He vowed to be a good dad and he'll blame himself totally. It may also make him think he's got his priorities wrong and that he should have been looking out for Jay instead of spending so much time with Dawn... He also added "After his romance with Roxy ended Jase's head has been well and truly turned. When Lord announced his exit, tragedy was brought to Dawn and the family when they find out Jase has tragically died. Lord explained in an interview that The night before the wedding he's supposed to do a job with Billy but at the last minute he's struck by the fact that he's got responsibilities and he shouldn't be doing this. He's about to get married.
