View Full Version : Jake & Danny Moon AXED!!! - NOW CONFIRMED
They are rubbish!!!
You've basically summed them in their entirity there!
And WQ is that really a Moderator-worthy comment :D
I'm not bothered lol I don't like them and have a right to say so :D
I could debate this to the bitter end but the fact is I can't believe anybody thinks they have a direction to go in.
Well what you'll most likey find is its only the 12-21 year old girls/women who find they have a direction of any sort!
I can see from a slight degree where your coming from but interested in what? What can you really say about the Moon Brothers?
I think if anything, I liked the rapport between Danny and Jake. Danny was a bit of a lose cannon and quite childlike. Jake however plays a fatherly role and I think some of the vulnerability between them is shown and how much they really do rely on each other. I wanted to see thier relationship develope more. I also think that Jake and Chrissie have a great chemistry.
They were a cardboard copy of the Mitchell bros without the other non-dodgy side which was why the Mitchell bros were such an hit plus they just had connections and weren't all crime orientated or on the run. Johnny has potential. They don't :)
We both have strong opinions but as far as i'm concerned on this matter, great minds think alike! :D
Alisha, you talk of character development but there's been time and i've seen non. How would you develop the characters to build them into bigger stars in the Square?
I have seen minor development between them but thats only because they have been on for less than 3 months.
I would personally like to see his relationship with Danny develop more and learn more about thier past instead of all this tosh with Johnny. :)
Yes they have only been in it for 3 months but still nearly every episode in 3 months is enough to get the viewers interested and they haven't got mine.

I'm sorry but IMO that doesn't warrant keeping 2 characters on a permenant basis! Chemistry can be built between other charcaters and we don't want a love story. A Shannis type story (to a degree) is not what EE needs. I for one do not want to see Cake (as a few members apptly named it!)
Well what you'll most likey find is its only the 12-21 year old girls/women who find they have a direction of any sort!
I think thats a bit of an unfair assumption to make. My mum likes Danny (I prefer Jake myself not in the physcial sense)
The way they act camp is hysterical though.

As i've already said 40 episodes and no real time for proper character development!
Anyway in a year they'll be a new set of pin-ups for people to gaze googley eyed at!
I'm sticking with *JSW* on this one their characters could NEVER have been a little more permanent. Those kind never are.
I think thats a bit of an unfair assumption to make. My mum likes Danny (I prefer Jake myself not in the physcial sense)
Ok what do you like about Jake? You've said his looks are a no-no and he hasn't got a personality to speak of (unless you can tell me what it is) o why do you like him :confused:
I'm sorry but IMO that doesn't warrant keeping 2 characters on a permenant basis! Chemistry can be built between other charcaters
I dont see a love story between them.
I said they have great chemistry but that doesn't mean I want them to settle down and have babies. I think they are good for each other right now and Jake is just what Chrissie needs. As for chemistry -I think you either gell on screen or you dont. Jim and Dot, Sharon and Dennis, Ian and Jane do. I dont see it with Sonia and Martin though and other previous couples who have lasted the distance.
I think they are a borefest.
The campness shocks me aswell. Jake trying to fix Chrissie's tap :D
Danny trying to act in any shape or form :D
Also Alisha, where is your arguement based on? You can't keep saying all of these could off beens. Thats talking in a hypothetical sense and we won't even go there. You seem to have little basis to your arguement. Please do tell me why you think they should stay without saying "they could be" etc.
And WQ, I never even doubted you'd change sides, not for a moment! :D
Ok what do you like about Jake? You've said his looks are a no-no and he hasn't got a personality to speak of (unless you can tell me what it is) o why do you like him :confused:
Well I'm not a Jake fan but I do like his character along with many other characters on the show.
Anyway, like I said in one of the above statements I like the fatherly role he's adopted with Danny as well as his chemistry with Chrissie. He is also quite a strong dominant male and that shows through his interaction with Danny.
When it comes to these two I'm un-movable with my opinion.
What time are you two off to bed? Just going to grab a coffee DO NOT leave me LOL I'm enjoying this discussion.
Well I see no-one budging and we're going in roundabouts now. So as much as I hate to say it
"We'll have to agree to disagree!"
That sounds so tacky :D
I don't want to inflame nor encourage debate but this is enjoyable.
Well unless you want to slag the pair of them of them off to the rafters thats fine :D
Are you doing your usual night-shift on here WQ? :D Do you ever sleep? You seem to be constantly online!

Hi,
In the hypothetical sense -I'm mostly refering to the gangster talk because we don't know if that has much validity or not.
As for the rest - my opinion isn't a valid one and neither is yours or anyone else posting on this forum as it's mearly our views on storylines and characters. Nothing is definate with characters so for me to say they will be loved if they stayed another year' is a flawed statement because we don't know if that will be the case.
The main point I'm expressing is that 3 months is not enough time to evolve a character. :)
I don't want to inflame nor encourage debate but this is enjoyable.
I would encourage debates (just as long as they are friendly). I love them :)
But if they feture in nearly every episode in the last 3 months then i'd say it is.

I am not always here. I just stay logged in rather than logging out of the board. I do tend to be here overnight though.
The Slaters had an impact on me after 3 months and they weren't in 99.9 percent of the episodes although they were in a lot they worked though they had potential and direction something which lacks with the new Moon brothers.
But if they feture in nearly every episode in the last 3 months then i'd say it is.
No I dont think it is really. Yes they have been in almost every episode for the past three months but its not them who have had most focus. 3 month is peanuts to make full judgement on a character. I still think of it as first impressions and class them as newcomers. So far the only other person that Jake has some sort of strong tie with is Johnny and even that hasn't been developed because all we have had is him doing some jobs for him. It also depends on the storylines aswell. If they carry on in the same position for the next 2 years- then yeah they will stay undeveloped and one-dimmentional. Kat for example, did nothing but shout at her family and sleep with different men for the first 6 months of the show. It was only when we learned that she was actually Zoe's mother that viewers got an insight into why she behaves in certain ways.
Anyway, It's been lovely chatting to you and Iv enjoyed this but I'm off to bed other wise I'l be late in the morning. :)
Night x
Kat was different though because it was interesting.
For anyone whose interested I've put their Revealed pictures up here: http://www.soapboards.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1280&page=1&pp=15

i still think there are lots of not very gangster things they can do with them though, maybe by summer they might of change their minds?
as much as i love dennis, he is in the same mould and doesn't really fit anymore without his family. thats why they bring family in, it gives a character more to do, take micky for example, and tracey ann oberman has long spoken of her desire to have chrissie's brothers written in
But Dennis had other sides to him and wasn't always doing gangsterish scenes...
Bad Wolf
18-03-2005, 08:49
the main sides to him though were, his antagonism towards his father, his love for sharon ("sister"), and treating dot like a mum, and his relationship with andy, who is also gone, he doesn't really have much focus now, Unless (lets re-fire this debate just for fun) BRING BACK SHANNIS!!! WOO!

Well they may well have had a fanbase but for me they didn't work. If you've read through the 20 odd pages here you'll know what I think of them, their acting ability etc I could never see them handle a massive storyline. Obviously people's opinions differ but thats mine!

Maybe they should try new scriptwriters instead of getting rid of actors that might work instead
They need to do something Quick, before too many people start tuning out, I couldn't bear to lose EE!
The powers that be i.e the execs are taking out the fact that their ideas haven't worked on the actors and it's pathetic
The scriptwriters need to be given something real to work with instead of sh1te
It's not the actors fault is it
Thats so True because the actors are only as good as the scripts allow. How can they act without decent and creactive scripts? Why are they being blamed? How many more characters will be axed before the writers wake up?
Angeldelight
21-03-2005, 15:50
The writers and the execs need to stand back and take a good look at the show from what it use to be to what it is now to where it should be heading you never know they might wake up and realise that they can change the actors and characters all they want but it won't change the fact that without a decent funny as well as moving script the show won't work
Too bad they don't listen to what we think ,the viewers, maybe all these characters would still be walking around Albert Square with great storylines. But no,who cares what we think?
Well I blame the writers and it appears to me that even though they were rubbish actors they're being used as scapegoats to hide this incredibley shoddy writing...
i think the writers need to stand up and take responsibilty for there Actions instead of hiding behind the characters i have said this before but Axing characters is not the way forward.incase the writers have forgoton we pay there wages through the licence fee so there for we should get a say in the storylines for once

I think it's ridiculous. EE want the prog to be less gangster orientated, in that case why has Johnny not been axed. I think Jake and Danny are great, I'm very close to stopping watching this prog anyway. It's lost it's way, Emmerdale is continually beating it in the ratings. I can't stand Emmerdale, Eastenders is a bit more entertaining. I will be sad to see Jake and Danny go, that's for sure.
I hate emmerdale too I love EE have done for years and I've been a loyal fan thorugh thick and thin but this is too far acting too brill actors and great charcters for no reason

thats a shame
They were axed because they want too muc of the Gangster image, but they said that they have still left the door open for them to return.
It's really sad to see them go, now all we have to look at is keith miller!!! (gross)
I'm so glad the Ferrarers(sorry cant spell) are going! All their story lines include money any way, but still they got to stay for two years.
I hope that Jake and Chrissie get together properly before they go!
If Johnny is still there why get rid of Jake and Danny when lodes of people love them, you cant have a gangster with out his minions (sorry I just had to say that)
Maybe someone should start a patition to save them!
I for one will be glad to see the back of Danny, shame if Jakes leaves too, he has a bit of style.

Just because I don't back the over-riding opinion on thses boards doesn't mean I stop people from having their opinion. I'm adding a different opinion to the mix and that creates a debate.
Why you think my posts are so "growling" I don't know and I apologise if you think of that way. But your last comment was underminingand totally makes me look awful and is a slightly undergound way of going about things.
I simpily add another opinion and the letter page is always dominated by EE every week. They may well keep them. But just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean there's a need for such hostility.

Peace would have been kept and if your idea of peace is to keep the same opinion then these boards would loose their spark. I wasn't breaking the peace just adding a different view.

they can do other stuff though, why can't we see one of them decide to change their life and go to college. as a post grad student, i feel that ee doesn't refelect the fact that any one can have higher education now, there is only sonia who goes to college, especially considering how many people own there own business' and they havent got a qualification to rub between them????
That was hostile??? Damn, I'd better stop now because once I start ...
Think about it this way - why would Rach perceive it as hostile? Obviously something must have been said somewhere for that to happen ...
Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread and move it off topic so thats the last word.

Urh thats creepy! I was just thinking the same thing a few minutes ago! Somebody would surely get somet form of qualification? Somebody must be clever or at leat slightly? I simpily see it as another unfair representation of general society. Its like EE lives in another world.

anyway this is getting off topic, what do you think their "explosive exit storyline" will be?
tbh I see them going in a ferriera-style rather gangster stereotypicalish type storyline with drugs and messing with Johnny Allen. Or by EE recent exit standards something very dull and dry which is supposed to be explosive.
If i'm even more honest Jake did have potential but Danny, I see no way that character could continue for years to come...

Eastenders are making no sense with their recent storylines or characters - how can they ax Jake and Danny Moon on account of them being too violent and then bring back the Mitchells? If memory serves between them Phil & Grant have beaten up just about everybody they've come in contact with and as for the "Hostage" storyline I seem to recall Phil being involved in a similar situation with Dan & Mel a few years ago? I know he's a caveman but would he really be that stupid considering how that turned out?? At least Jake & Dan are pleasing to the eye - Eastenders scriptwriters should concentrate on giving them some decent - non-violent - storylines instead of bringing back old, neanderthal characters that we were glad to see the back of. Bringing back Den might have won them some temporary decent ratings just as bringing back Den did - but instead of going for the quick fix they should improve the quality of the show, that itself will see viewers return, and stay.
can some one please define what a gangster is as i'm terribly confussed, there are some many different po1eeple that have been classed as gangsters and i'm just wondering whether anyone can be a gangster or there is a type?
first there was Phil and Grant Mitchell, gangsters?
Billy Mitchell, gangster?
Den Watts, gangster?
Andy Hunter, gangster?
Johnny Allen, gangster?
Jake and Danny Moon, gangsters?
ok Phil and Grant = not gangsters :thumbsdow
Billy = not even close :rotfl:
Den = not a gangster :thumbsdow
Andy + wannabe gangster or rubbish gangster :lol:
Johnny Allen = Gangster :cheer: :bow:
Jake = Johnny's right hand man :thumbsup:
Danny = Always gets into trouble with Johnny :wall: but not a gangster
ok Phil and Grant = not gangsters :thumbsdow
Billy = not even close :rotfl:

The point I think that some people have over-ridden here is all this talk of gangsters. I somehow find it highly unlikely that because there were "too many gangsters". There are bound to be more reasons behind it which we simpily don't know. There are bound to be EE politics coming in somewhere. The Gangsters reson was just a front IMO characters can be changed, some how I see other reasons behing their departure...

true, i think they are dated
true, i think they are dated
AndRach I agree with you as well!
Simpily bringing old characters back doesn't solve problems. We're not looking for a 1998 version of EE just because we associate it with EE's better days. We've seen that era once and will bore the socks and shoes of us.
Simpily giving the Mitchell's blank cheques to return is wrong. It means that there's no money left to pay any no cast members that there might be the potential for.
Leave the Mitchell's in Brazil I say!

23-03-2005, 12:29
omg! we agree!
I'm in as much shock as you! :rotfl:
But this whole thing of wanting Sharon to come back so there could be another love triangle! Why? Its been done once? This is just one example of EE either as I said bringing the soap back to the 90s or newspaper lies!
Bad Wolf
23-03-2005, 12:36
it wouldn't be plausable now though, she has admitted that dennis is the love of her life, abd was heart broken at den's death about him,
a mitchell wouldn't even register
Ah but we know how EE can so easily switch a situation and after the last year I wouldn't put anything past them! But I don't believe this storyline anyway, it sounds false to the bones!
Bad Wolf
23-03-2005, 12:40
it would be a shame to wreck the shannis thing, thats the only reason she should come back to a future with him
they shouldnt bother with the mitchells, i agree with you on the salary thing, there will be no cash for other talent
Wreck the Shannis thing?!! :eek: I presume your referring to Dennis and Sharon! The 2 of them love each over to bits. I really don't see a 3 way affair developing excluding Dennis!
Anway back to topic and how do you see the Moon bros leaving?
Bad Wolf
23-03-2005, 12:55
i mean the only way sharon will return is for dennis, i cant see her getting involved with a mitchell, they will leave after a scam goes wrong not because of them but jonny thinks its their fault so they run
tbh, I can see Phil going off with johnny as the Moons will be leaving new right hand man mabye?
Rach, do you have any idea what reputation points are (along the top of the banner, the scales) and the little green squares?
Thanks, J
can some1 explain 2 me, r Jake and Danny Moon being AXED cos they shouldn't be they r good characters! EXPLAIN

First of all, I would like to know from what source this information comes. If it is Heat Magazine...well I rest my case. Also how do we know that the BBC wan :thumbsdow t to get away from a gangster scenario? Has anyone from the BBC actually said this? or once again has this come from some "magazine". I have yet to actually hear a BBC spokesperson say anything about anything because that would leave the way open for a genuine conversation with the fee paying public.
I would also like to agree with those Emmerdale haters, I'm definitely one of those. Can't stand the peurile and often ludicrous storylines, but acording to viewing figures that is what the public like.
Anyway who agrees with me that the Ferrerras departure last night was ridiculous, surely it could have been handled better than that.
Now that they have gone could we please have some continuity with the characters and no more comings and goings and DEFINITELY NOT THE MITCHELLS - BAN THE MITCHELLS I say.
Yes it has been confirmed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/news/news_content/news_20050316_n2.shtml
The departure was awful and dialogue lets just not go there. And read the last page for my opinions on the Mitchells!
But this whole thing of wanting Sharon to come back so there could be another love triangle! Why? Its been done once? This is just one example of EE either as I said bringing the soap back to the 90s or newspaper lies!
I want Sharon back but not for another love triangle. The last one was a huge mistake!

Yeah I read that they were being axed in Inside Soap *sobs into hankie*
All it says re: when they leave is "Jake and Danny will leave the show in an explosive storyline later this year" confirms an Eastenders spokesperson'. But apparently the door has been left open for return at a later date.
I personally don't want them go - maybe I'm the only one whop actually prefers Danny to Jake. There's just something about him - I mean his vibe that his character gives off that hints there's some reason why Jake is so over-protective. And mondays eppy where Johnny was ripping into him and making comments about his past - Danny just had this look in his eyes. Hmm maybe it's just my mind being over-imaginative, but I would like to see their characters being explored a bit more before their exit.
I always thought that Jake maybe Johnny's secret son or something.
no i think it is danny that is johnny allens secret son!!!

I watched the BBC3 series (forgot what it's called) on behind the scenes that featured the introduction of Jake and Danny and according to the guy who plays Danny, he was only supposed to be in it for a couple of months and then he was going to be killed off. It would have aligned with Andy's death if that was the case.
Why they chose to pro-long his contract and then axe him seems to have been a slightly odd decision....

johnny allen is a good character and he is proving popular that why he is still in!! but then jake and danny are also good characters and they have been axed. i think it is safe to say that no matter how popular characters are they are never safe i bet there are a few eastendrs actors who are watching their backs now

I remember reading that Danny and Jake were being introduced because of Alfie leaving and then I read that Shane Richie was coming back after his stint away in America, so maybe they decided they didn't need any additional Moons.
Their characters intrigue me - I want to know more!

25-03-2005, 17:23
same here, there is so much mystery in there past and i'd like to know what happened!! :thumbsup:
definately!! we want to know more about their past. there must be stuff concerning them and johnny that we just dont know about
Totally agree they can do so much with them it's pure waste but i would like to thanks Kathleen Hutchison for giving us these two charaters even if they are leaving boo hoo so thanks KH mark one we owe ya

25-03-2005, 20:54
id have liked to have learnt a lot more about their past as well, both to do with johnny and their family when they were younger as i think that it could have led to some interesting storylines. i think ee are making a big mistake in axing them
BIG MISTAKE I've stuck through loads even the really really dirty Den phase but this is the worst decision they've made since bringing the Ferreiras and well we know what happened there
The introduction of the Ferreiras wasn't a bad decision it was the awful writing that made it all go wrong!
Then like we said before instead of changine the cast maybe new scriptwriters will help

I reading the mirror today, they were saying exactly what I said-why have Jake and Danny been axed and not Johnny Allen. They get good characters and then axe them after a very short time. It's absolutely ridiculous, there are so many boring characters in the prog that should go.

I'm not really bothered whether Johnny Allen goes or not. My point is why if Ee bosses are concerned about the number of gangsters in the prog why is he not going as well? In my mind it just doesn't make sense.

To be honest the 2 new moons are now growing on me,and i dont understand why their being put under the gangster label they havn't commited any murder unlike Johnny or Chrissy their just a bit shady,but no shadier than the mitchells,so i don't understand why they have to go just yet,if they want to get away from the criminality why bring back the mitchells at all,i think someone at EE has lost the plot.
.:Kitz:.
29-03-2005, 10:55
Yeah, the moons have done NOTHING to class them as gangsters.
-Drugs? no.
-Murders? no.
-Stealing? maybe. (the money at the beginning?)
-Hiring hit men to do their dirty work? no.
-evil master minds? no.
Gansters? certainly not! it just doesn't add up!
Well I think it is totally mad to get rid of Jake and Danny, especially as there is a lot of potential for both characters. There are so many storylines that they can be involved in, Alfie, Johnny, Chrissie, Sasha, "Bad Boy" Storylines etc..etc.. (If the writers can't create storylines for them, then give me a chance and I Will.)
There is a lot of their past to be revealed, we have only had a small taster of it. There is a lot about Jake that could be revealed, we haven't seen his dark and brutal side yet, only has lovely kind and loving side. I think that Jake is absolutely adorable and the best bit of talent they have had in EE for years. Danny is sweet and the type of character who grows on you. All in all there is absolutely loads they can do with both Jake and Danny.
It is very sad for the producers to axe them. I strongly suspect the truth is because the Mitchells are returning, as it was said earlier in one of the threads a bad move by ee because it will just be deja vu..
When Danny and Jake arrived on the square it brought the show back to life and the ratings went up.
Let's just hope that this is just a very brief departure for the Moon brothers and that they will return sooner rather than later (We live in hope..well I do anyway)
KEEP DANNY AND JAKE.
i think that it is unfair that they are being axed, fair enough there not the worlds best actors but they add something to the show. also with johnny retiring it is unlikely he will be asking them to do any dodgy deals so the writers could have adapted thier characters. by axing people they think there ratings will go up, instead its going stop fans of the characters watching cause what we watching now - pauline and dot in the laundrette? i know people think its good there going and i respect ur opinoon but i think its just a huge mistake
I agree everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the overall impression I get at the mo is that the majority of people disagree with the "axings" At the end of the day we all have our fav characters. It seems to me that as soon as the show starts doing well, they do, as someone mentioned earlier on here, ruin it by axing popular charcters.
In May two popular female charcters are leaving (I think by choice), Zoe and Sam.
In my own personal opinion I think that both Joel and Jake play their charcters very well.
Have to admit though when they first appeared I thought "who have they brought in now" and wasn't very taken with them, but needless to say they have grown on me big time. There are other characters whom I like too.
Totally agree babe14 I love both brothers and the two actors play their characters well and there is so much they could do with them I mean they work in a club I love their relationship and I really like Danny's friendship with Ruby and of course Jake and Chrissie
SHAME ON EE
Save Jake and Danny

That is so true about all the people they could work with in stories. I think Jake, Danny and Alfie are great together. I would much rather have Jake and Danny than Phil Mitchell. The Eastenders bosses think ratings will go up if they axe people, not if they axe the wrong people they won't.
di marco
29-03-2005, 19:51
totally agree with you. id much rather have jake and danny stay than bring back boring phil mitchell
Had a thought, Jake and Danny could have their own series.
It could be called "Jake and Danny on The Run", or "Jake and Danny - Life After The Square" Or "Jake and Danny - Away on Their Toes"
The two characters have so much potential and mystery about them, I.E. Their Past, Parents, "All Sorts Which They Use to Hang Around With" Etc..That a wonderful series could be created. With the Moon Brother's relationship it would be both commical and emotional.
I honestly think that the ratings will slump again, they need fresh and new talent like these two in the show. I really cannot understand where the Producers are coming from. Jake and Danny are not gangsters, they are loveable rogues who do some naughty things from time to time, unlike Phil Mitchell who is a total thug. Maybe that's why the Moon Bros have been booted out because they are not thugs.
I too love Jake, Danny and Alfie together, not forgetting Nana Moon, when the bros arrived it gave Alfie a much needed storyline after Kat's departure. I like the chats that Alfie has with both Jake and Danny, there have been some very tender moments. I really want Chrissie and Jake together they are perfect for one another, (again more storyline/s can be spun off from here once they get together, i.e they both have secrets...)unfortunately due to Jake's departure I guess that it is now only going to be a brief fling.
I too like Mickey, couldn't stand him at first nor his family, but now they make me laugh and I feel sorry for them. They'd better watch out though they could be next on the chopping board!!! Especially if they become too popular!!
:mad: :mad:
where do i sign ?????????????????????????????
My thoughts exactly to get a petiton going or to drop the producers a line, but I don't think it will do any good. They love upsetting the fans.
The MOON brothers are lovely, infact all the moons are! The name says it all "Moon", very romantic sounding.
i emailed and complained the day the story came out but as yet i still have no reply!!!
I've been uming and ah-ing about doing that myself or suggest that we all drop the producer a line via email like a petition, but to be perfectly honest with you I don't think it will make any difference. JY is as hard as steel with nothing between his ears!!
At best we would get a standard reply saying more or less what has been said on the EE website. The only way to make them listen would be for everyone to switch off until they start being sensible!!

Absolutely Babe14. They only seem to notice viewing figures and if that is the way to go then we should all have a viewing strike. By the way does anyone want to axe Rosie and Keith Miller? I have to go out of the room when they are on. He is the original male chauvinist waste of space and she is the most pathetic victim ever, I think they need axing in the true sense of the word!!

I second that I don't like Keith Miller i feel for him yeah but I don't like him if by doing the storyline about reading and writing is mean t to win public sympathy they chose the wrong character I know it goes on but they could have picked someone we actually liked it's like Ash and his gambling did anyone care NO

time to sit down and write or e-mail the bbc and say what fools they are for letting the new Moon brothers go. if enough people write in it might make them think about things diffrently and send phil on his way.
time to speak out and tell them what's what. we are the viewers and don't appearciate being left out of these choices since it's our show too.
keep the Moons!!!
thank you
bronzemare13
31-03-2005, 10:05
yes that's the ticket! now write the bbc about what a foolish thing they are doing by sending the brothers Moon down the road and bring back that sad old whipering mummbler phil.
write the bbc and maybe if there's enough letter of complaint they'll keep the lovely Moons around!!!
even better write a letter to exec producer Kate Harwood that's what i'm gonna do
Yesterday I used one of the contact facilites on the EE website and quite simply asked "why are popular characters being axed" no reply yet.
This morning I've been thinking about dropping another email via another route telling them what a mistake they are making and why I think so, I don't think it will do any good though. Like you say they can't just ignore the fan's or can they?
if they carry on ignoring fans Eastenders will have no viewers left we know what we want to watch they think they know what we want
They won't have many left if thye keep on axing the popular characters and to be honest with you I'm getting really cheesed off, especially after the latest axings, I just can't get my head round it.
Oe things for sure at this rate I don't think they will be winning any soap awards this year. O.K Corrie is a rival soap but at least they don't keep on axing popular characters!! Nor does Emmerdale.
I was looking at the EE cast list in Inside saop yesterday and compared to Emmerdale and Corrie Eastenders have hardly any cast left
EE have 37
Corrie have 53
Emmerdale have 51
I'm also hating the axings it's such a waste of good characters I can understand some but Jake and Danny I'm wondering which fantasy land the EE bosses are living in
How can they have a soap which runs 4 times a week with a small cast? Sounds to me like cut backs.(money wise) Then on the other hand they are offering old "Hasbeens" (Spelt wrong) a ridiculous amount of money to return. Grrrr...

funny but i was wondering if maybe Danny wasn't mistreated by his 'dad' because he's Johnny's real son. their hair is curly. ok so Johnny's is grey, it happens but the eyes are the same and eyebrows....
maybe that's part of our Danny's problem he's a ******* and knows it as did the man who "raised" him. i say "raised" because i'm betting Jake did the looking after and raiseing of Danny.
hey why not write the bbc and tell them what you think about them getting the axe? keep e-mailing and sending letters till they listen.
I thought that but it wud be a bit weird if they did it and i bet your right about Jake looking after him I remember one scene JAke said he'd been doing it for the last twenty years
I just sent Kate Harwood an e-mail saying:
I'm just writing to say i totally disagree with the axing of the two new Moon brothers, i think they are both brilliant actors who protray the charecters really well.Please don't axe them, i'm a HUGE EastEnders fan and i will be no matter what but i promise you with the axing of Jake and Danny Moon you will lose viewers, I know ratings haven't been great lately but they won't get better, I know there are loads of other brilliant actors in EastEnders, i'm glad to see that Tracy-Ann Oberman has signed another years contract and the return of Jessie Wallice and Nigel Harman are great but it seemsa at the moment everyone is leaving, Michelle Ryan and Kim Medcalf i know are leaving because its there choice but Joel and Jake do not have to go.
Please, Please think about it, there could be so many good storylines with them, Jake and Chrissie for example please let them get together they had one kiss and thats it,

are you sure you are watching the same show with the same actors as i am? Jake Maskall has shown a whole range of emotions in his role as Danny. he makes you feel what Danny is feeling; good, bad, ugly mean, sneaky, and inner discust with himself.
maybe you like steve mcfadden who seems to walk around like a bear with a hang over and the piles. nothing shows on his face just that grumpy old look. he mumbles and whispers his line so ya never are too sure why he's cheesed off. maybe life it's self is getting him down.
i dis agree with you totally. i think they should keep the new Moon and maybe let old phil waddle through from time to time.he can mummble and whisper a bit then go away again.

Thanx :thumbsup:
Notice on the Eastenders site how they seem to be "promoting" the Moons. Everyday there is something on there to do with them, win a signed poster etc and today they are showing a video clip of their arrival in the square and have it under one of the biggest storylines from last year. Maybe they are listening????

Either that or they are trying to give us what they think we want. Maybe trying to take the attraction away from us trying to keep them (which ain't gonna happen, we are NOT gonna give up!!)
KEEP THE MOONS!!
Exactly and probably the reason why they are trying to ram Phil Mitchell's return and Dennis' return down our throats (By the way I think Dennis is great and have no problem with him) to try and take our minds of the "Moonies".
It won't work and I second that we will NOT give up!!

EastEnders' Joel Beckett has revealed that he was a poor sex symbol as he refused to appear semi-nude.
Beckett, who played Jake Moon in the soap, asked producers to rewrite a scene in which he was scripted to appear semi-naked, reports FemaleFirst.co.uk.
He is quoted as saying: "I was supposed to do a scene wearing nothing but a towel the size of a small handkerchief.
"In the end, they let me do it with a T-shirt on. My stomach could definitely do with toning up. No amount of airbrushing could make it look good!"
Just found this on another website. Sob..sob..
Joel you look fine to me. Even if you had a belly I wouldn't mind I love guys with bellies. You obviously haven't seen Ian with his shirt off. I have and if you had you wouldn't worry.
Still I respect Joel's feelings if he doesn't want to show his bod off to the world then fair enough. Perhaps at the end of the day he feels that it is a private thing and that only the "love of his life" should see him semi naked or otherwise. (could even be a bit shy) A lot of other actors feel the same way and don't like showing their bod off either.
Ah well...I'll just have to keep on imagining. I really thought we would see "sex pot" with his shirt off at least and only hoped for the towel (size of a handkechief..wow!! Thought I could only dream about that, I wouldn't be right for days afterwards, my mouth would just hit the floor and stay there.) Part of me thought that Joel wouldn't take his shirt off, don't know why, just a feeling I had. I still kept on hoping though..ah..ah..
Whatever you do Joel don't go all muscley you would spoil those sexy looks and that great bod. We love you just the way you are.
Saw Mickey had his shirt off last night and did anyone notice the builders bum!!
Eastenders are obviously trying to get all the hot stuff to strip.
SAVE JAKE AND DANNY
They are needed and are not violent.
Shame about joel. we need to see more of him!!!!!
Definitely. I think he may just be a very private person. Still at least he isn't up his own backside. Still I'm very disappointed, now I have to cope with this as well as him being axed...sob..sob..
Jake MAskell/Danny obviously isn't shy about his body. Not bad, bit too skinny for my liking. Give me Joels bod any day, I like a bit of meat on a bloke, something to grab hold of!!
SAVE JAKE AND DANNY
THEY MUST STAY..THEY ARE NEEDED.

Dont really like the moons but then again i didnt like the millers at first and im coming round to them now. Jake i can put up with and Danny wasnt too bad when he was with Sam but he is too hyper he needs ritalin. I dont really like to watch him acting like an over excitable puppy. I feel sorry for the actors who probably thought they were made for life when they got the job, but i cant say that ill lose sleep over losing the moons xx. :(

me too! as for Danny being like a excitable puppy that's what the show needed a young man that acts like a young wolf pup! not overly sure of himself but knows enough not to have be lead by the hand,like other charactors who need mummy to wipe their noses. Danny is the wild one who thinks on his feet big brother Jake is more cautious about things.
Jake Maskall and Joel Beckett should be asked to stay. it's getting down to there's no one left in the square really. tiny cast for sure.

Danny reminds me of a Werewolf (ha ha, i meant it in the nicest possible sense!!) He's really sweet so i guess that makes him a gentle werewolf pup! tee hee!
i like them they are really good they make me laugh at times but oh well at least they can come back it's not like there killing them off
