EastEnders - Jim and Carol Break Down Over Billy (12 October 2010)

A very memorable scene for me on all accounts. A rare moment of affection shared between Carol and her father as she finally breaks down over Billy's death. Very poignant. Thanks to BoB for the footage.

John Bardon was such a trooper. He went through those two horrific strokes, and he still did what many thought he would never do and got back to work. It was heartbreaking to see him like this, R.I.P. John.

ee took a risk

Jim truly meant it when he got hold of Carol's hand and they both cried over Billy. As its Jim's guilt of the way he treated Billy and Alan. That's the reason he was best friends with Patrick

[@kel9361]

John Bardon was still a powerful actor even after having a massive stroke. And Lindsay Coulsdon was amazing here. This scene made me cry and eastenders doesn't make me cry often. :'(

This isn't far off real life. Lindsey Coulson did look like she was crying over John Bardon because of his ill health due to his stroke. It robbed him of most of his speech and mobility.

[@Anon-xj3ko]

That's probably what the motivation was to pull off the scene

It was heartbreaking to see Jim like this

[@sadlierferg]

Beautifully done.

Rest in Peace John Bardon ( August 25 1939 - September 12 2014)

Well he wasnt racist when he met Patrick. As he became a better person when he met Patrick and Dot

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

He charged Jim

[@ManlykefreshINC]

[@westminsterwatcher5152]

They had such wonderful chemistry, but John Bardon was truly exceptional! I hated seeing him like that!

This was painful to watch. So sad.

[@lukedaley17]

Can’t believe this was months after Bradley’s death.

[@rick182z]

He was crying about Billies death

I can’t help but notice that Jim really doesn’t need a shave, he doesn’t have a speck of stubble on him

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

so sad

You don't happen to have the full EastEnders episode for the 19th October 2010 do you as I would like to see that one

[@mrhammadmossop1988ul-haq]

@Tweenies Mad! Really if you do that would be great to see

[@leejones8582]

What happened to Billy?

[@DoctorVision]

Billy Jackson, her son, died of alcohol poisoning on the night of his 21st birthday.

[@sirachasauce3426]

DoctorVision that's awful

[@Terrycat88]

*Billie actually.

[@shanefolan]

@@DoctorVision Was it not his 22nd bday?

[@shanefolan]

@@Dayday-xj3hc yea i thought so-i never got why there was such a big bash for his 22nd-it was more like a 21st or 18th.

[@Stephen_Reid]

John was still an amazing actor even after suffering two strokes and now he's gone😔 Lindsay Couldson acting was also phenomenal
