Maybe that's what we should all do start a campaign for Jake Moon again only this time to bring him back, but he would have to be used correctly or it would be a waste of time, i.e have his fair share of viewing time and decent storylines. The character had so much potential and to be blunt it was just flushed down the toilet, so that is why in away I am glad that the character has left.
To me and as I have said many times in this thread Jake Moon was one of the lovliest and "unique" characters I have seen over the years, I think a lot of this was down to the actor, Joel Beckett who was/is wonderful.
One of the problems with Scruff is that he has been over used and as far as I can tell he has never been off the screen since he landed in the square.
Back to Jake - I don't think a body will be found, I think that things will just be left as they are for us to draw our own conclusions. I'm surpirsed that Pat hasn't noticed that Jake isn't around given how close the two of them were and that Jake told her he was just going to a mate's for the weekend, also there is the fact that Ruby/Scruff are living in his house. Or has this been explained?
