Viewers were disgusted by the behaviour of this Eastenders character tonight

Oh Jay.

If you watch Eastenders on a regular basis, you're probably aware that Jay Brown is in dire straits, owing money to a drug dealer. He has no way to come up with the money that he owes and tonight, he turned to drastic measures in scenes that shocked fans of the show. A body was laid out at Coker & Sons funeral home and while he was meant to be going about his duties, Jay tried to take a ring from the dead person's hand. Will Mitchell walked in and caught Jay in the act and what happens next is anyone's guess. Here's how people reacted:

Jay is scum! How can he teef a dead corpse's ring ? #EastEnders
