Jake Heaven

[Babe14]

Jakey is going in the right direction with lots of character interaction building!

Dawn/Millers
Stacey/Slaters
Jim and Patrick/Brannings and Trueman.

I think that in a way Jakey will be taking the place of a certain someone in respectof friendships. I.E Stacey, Dot etc.

I loved the betting on how long Stacey would last and crafty Jakey grasses Jim and Patrick up only to have a sneaky bet himself!! But aww bless he split his winnings with Stacey.

I'm wondering as Jakey is now Stall holder and Deano is supposed to be running the stall too if they will run it together. Another friendship, perhaps a susbstitute brother type, and yet more interaction with the Wicks.

P.S. I claim the 1000th Jakey post!

[Babe14]

Hee, the scarf is back. Loved Alfie's goodbye to Jake -- pinching his cheeks and telling him to stay out of trouble. They really work well together, shame Alfie's left now.

Also curious as to why Alfie didn't tell Jake about the money -- worried that Jake would go back to Chrissie with it, and he knows thats not the best thing for him? Or just not wanting Jake to go over there and start a fight? Seeing as Alfie's gone so we won't know, I'm going to pretend it's the first, cos that's kinda nice of Alfie.

And Dawn wanting to invite Jakey over for Boxing Day -- don't know if she will now, what with her dad turning up, but it was a nice thought. And Jake saying she almost tried to lick his face off at Nana's funeral. :lol:

Bit disappointed we didn't get to see Jake with his turkey burger, or even see him at all after Alfie had left. Ah well, don't want to complain cos it was a good episode.

And the scarf is back which is all good. :thumbsup:

I think it maybe a different one, although very nice and goes very well with the gangster coat. I thought the original was a bluey grey colour and very long and woolly. Whereas this one was more felty looking, loved it though and Jake looked all snuggy in it:wub:

I was disappointed that we didn't get to see Jake more on xmas day especially at the end when they were all playing in the snow, I felt sure we would see Dawn chuck a snowball at him...ah well it was really all about Alfie/Kat Sharon and:crying: :crying: D:crying: :crying: I was starting to well up when Alfie was stood there in the snow waiting for Kat. I loved the Cinderella bit where Kat had no make up on and was walking bare footed across the snow to her prince charming.

Aww Jakey and Alfie hugs..come back Shane! Alfie and Jakey are great together!!

[Layne]

I am loving the jake and stacey stuff :wub: they are good as friends !

Yeah i think they make a good set of friends.

[Tannie]

:heart: foreva loving jake.moon :heart:

[Babe14]

Now I'm confused about Jakey's financial situation. First he has no job and can afford a new wardrobe, then he was in the caf counting his lose change, then he buys Chrissie a ring (69.00) and then mince pies and a dancing snowman. Now Jakey is running Alfie's stall and therefore has a job but he only had 3.00 to buy himself one pint!!!


I think that the supposed return of Danny, to tie up lose ends on a storyline, will be to do with Johnny. When you think about it Jake and Danny were responsible for bringing Johnny into the Square. Andy was giving them a hard time and Jake phoned Johnny to sort him out and on their arrival in the Square Jake phoned him again to help make the dodgy cash and drugs disappear. So I think that Jake and Danny will get rid of Johnny from the square as they feel responsible for him being there, completely losing the plot, turning into a psycho and going about destroying everyones lives in the square or murdering them. First though I think that Jake will be set up,(during his dark spell) cue Danny who will set about clearing his brothers name, after which both the Moon brothers will come up with a plan to get rid of Johnny once and for all. (at the mo that is my theory)

I also think that Jakey will suss that Johnny murdered Dennis. Maybe Phil and Jake join forces...

[Babe14]

Aww did you see the hand down the back/side of the head at the end of Friday's epi when Jakey saw D had been killed..

[BlackKat]

I think it might depend how much he makes on the stall each day? :searchme: But then when Alfie was running it it was enough to support him, Nana, as well as Jake when he was there. But, yeah, Jake's finances make no sense. I assume he's still paying rent to Johnny as well? :searchme:

I didn't actually see Jake in that last scene -- where was he? I'll have to watch again.

Has Jake actually paid for drinks since September -- first he was with Chrissie who ran the place, and now Dawn's his 'angel.' :lol: Liked seeing him with the guys -- Billy and Garry. Thought him and Billy were a bit too chummy after everything that happened with Sam and the Mitchells, but ah well.

Just what I was thinking, plus for all those long baths he keeps having!

I was also wandering if when Johnny "git" Allen goes if Phil will take over and become Jakey's landlord? If so would he put Jakey's rent up?


I didn't actually see Jake in that last scene -- where was he? I'll have to watch again.

I spotted Jakey by the his trait mark of the hand down the head, you know the one he used to do when he got stressed with Danny. I had to watchit again to make sure, then again and again LOL I'm sure it's Jakey.


Liked seeing him with the guys -- Billy and Garry. Thought him and Billy were a bit too chummy after everything that happened with Sam and the Mitchells, but ah well.

You know Jakey moves on and puts things behind him, plus Billy's in love.

:rotfl: Jakey " She goes to the opticians tomorrow Billy"

Loved the suited Jakey and was only thinking the other day we haven't seen him all suited and booted lately.

By the way have you noticed that the trainers have disappeared and been replaced by shoes:crying:

Loved it when either Billy or Gary told Jakey that Dawn fancied him something rotten.

I love the all guy interaction, Billy/Gary/Jakey and hopefully Minty to when he returns.

[BlackKat]

I also think that Jakey will suss that Johnny murdered Dennis. Maybe Phil and Jake join forces...

I don't actually know if I want that -- seeing how Phil got Dennis to do his dirty work with no thought as to how it would come back on Dennis. And the lows he's gone to using Ruby, all to get back at Johnny for a feud Peggy started. He wouldn't hesitate to screw someone else over just to get his goal.


I watched the episode back btw and saw Jakey. You can see him for a second outside the pub watching the fireworks as well.

I agree, we need the scruffy trainers back. The ones that look like Danny tried to eat them. :lol: :p

[angelle]

i think jake will turn on johnny he'll get sick of doing his dirty work soon he's prob skint as i don't think that he's doing many jobs for johnny at the mo

[BlackKat]

i think jake will turn on johnny he'll get sick of doing his dirty work soon he's prob skint as i don't think that he's doing many jobs for johnny at the mo

:confused: He's not doing any jobs for Johnny right now. He hasn't officially worked for him since June, and the only job he's done for him since getting back was the thing with the Mitchells in exchange for the CCTV tape. (Which didn't exactly turn out as planned.)

I do think though that Jake will involved in Johnny's exit this year. :thumbsup:

[Babe14]

SPOILERISH

Going by what I have read the people so far that have been mentioned in Johnny's exit are Phil, Sharon and Jake. I think that this is going to be another who dunnit and at first I wanted it to be Sharon but then I thought that it would be nice if it was Jake for all the grief that Johnny has caused him in the past and I have a feeling that there is going to be another Jake and Johnny clash where Johnny is going to be really evil to Jakey. I won't go to much into my theory now as this is really a spoiler but I think that this will go towards Danny's return and the rumour about Jakey murdering his brother.

[Babe14]

I would quite like Phil and Jake to become mates as I think that Jake is strong enough to tell Phil where to get off and to do his own dirty work if Phil was to try that number on him.

P.S. Besides I have another "Vision Theory" in my head and more brewing :lol:

I agree, but think that Johnny won't be that involved in Jake killing Danny.

[BlackKat]

I agree, but think that Johnny won't be that involved in Jake killing Danny.

I think he is. From the newspaper article on it, Johnny tells Jake to get Danny out of Walford which is what they fight about. (actually, I've heard another rumour that Johnny tells Jake to kill Danny but it wasn't sourced. And I think Jake's response to that would be "Go to hell.")


The other way (other than a complete accident during a fight) I could see Jake killing Danny, was if he knew that Johnny was definitely going to do it. Kinda of a "If anyone's going to do it, it'll be me," thing. I'd think they'd have to be careful how they handled that though if they do it that way, cos it'd be a difficult thing to get right.

[BlackKat]

P.S. Besides I have another "Vision Theory" in my head and more brewing :lol:

Oo, do tell. :hmm: :D

[Babe14]

I agree, but think that Johnny won't be that involved in Jake killing Danny.

Well to be honest I can't see Jake killing Danny no matter what he has done. Disowning him yes but not killing his own brother. The only way I can see this happening is for Johnny to set Jake up, or if not Johnny, someone else making Jake think that he is going after someone else only for it to turn out be Danny.

I don't think that Jake could ever handle the fact that he killed his own brother, unless of course there is a shock to come...

They could do a fake death. Where Jake and Danny set Johhny up and make him think that Danny is dead hence "the only way Danny is leaving is in a coffin" This again would have to be done right and it could have a few commical moments on the way.

[Babe14]

Jake could kill Danny and convince Johnny that Danny is dead. But Johnny being Johnny will want proof and to see the body, maybe, so Jake could take Johnny to the place where he is supposed to of killed Danny, only when they arrive there will be no body, Johnny starts to disbelieve Jake and just as things start to get heated there is a gun shot fired from out of the darkness...

Or to tie in with the coffin Jake could take Johnny to where Danny's coffin is and as Johnny looks inside bang...and Johnny ends up being bundled into the coffin..

oops Sorry gone off on one!!!:rotfl:

[BlackKat]

Later as it might be a bit too spolierish.:lol: :p


Hee, this threads full of spoilers. Even pretend spoilers. :lol: You can PM though if you want, :searchme:



Wonder if Jake gets involved in the Johnny storyline straight away, or if he waits until something drags him in (ie, Danny). I think Jake isn't as open to manipulation as Dennis was, but he does have a weakness - Danny. I could see both Phil and Johnny using that to their advantage. Especially Johnny, as he knews the history.

If Danny does die though, I'm really worried for Jake, because I just don't think he'd cope at all and especially not on his own.

I hope we do get some comedy moments when Danny's back, in between the angst and misery. I've missed their banter -- I think Jake and Alfie worked well together, but Jake and Danny it just felt so natural with the two brothers niggling each other. "Ooo, can we go in your tardis?" :lol:

[Babe14]

Hee, this threads full of spoilers. Even pretend spoilers. :lol: You can PM though if you want, :searchme:

Thanks. I'll do that sometime soon and send you my Phil/Jake "Spoiler":rotfl:

Especially Johnny, as he knews the history.

I can actually see Jake confronting Johnny about Dennis's death and saying something like:

"You killed Dennis didn't you. Infact I know you did"
"Now then Jake if you think that, don't you think it's a bit stupid of you to be standing there and telling me that..
"You know Johnny I've been watching you. Listening to you. And you know what. What I've notcied.
"Careful Jake"
"Your a sick man Johnny. You always have been, but recently you've become very sick and getting sicker by the day" Your not fit to be amongst the living.."
"That's enough Jake"
"What you gonna shove a gun in my face again? Now that would be a really clever thing to do Johnny. Um..let me think..First Andy mysteriously jumps off a flyover and then a few months later his best mate is accidentally stabbed in the square. Your found battered to within an inch of your life, then shortly afterwards another person is found dead...Yep Johnny I'd call that real smart"
"GET OUT JAKE"! GO ON GET OUT"

[Kim]

That would be great if it happened like that.

[Babe14]

That would be great if it happened like that.

Thanks:) and this could lead up to the big confrontation between the trio and possibly plus one. Obviously Johnny would go absolutely ape and wouldn't let that go.

[BlackKat]

I could see it happening like that as which would be good. I could also see Jake waiting and keeping his cards hidden.

More and more people are finding out about Andy's murder I've noticed. So far I think Danny, Chrissie, Sharon and Phil all know. But Jake's the only one who can actually prove anything (unless Phil's got it on the tape he took from the office of course.) If Jake admits the alibi is false he'd be putting his own neck on the line, but taking Johnny down as well. He could even strick a deal with the police -- he gives evidence in exchance from amnesty. (Think that's the right word.)

[Babe14]

You never know with Jake how he's going to play things. He may well suss Johnny out but just lie in wait for his chance, watching and listening from a distance.

I like your theory about Jake striking a deal with the police but think that this would be to good for Johnny as him being behind bars would just be home from home and he may still continue to rule the roost. Johnny needs to suffer, slowly, painfully. I'd say Ruby is the key but there again I think Johnny is going so insane that it doesn't bother him any more that he is losing yet another daughter through his own fault again.

I don't think Ruby bothers him anymore either -- as far as he's concerned she's already gone. This might change the next few weeks (spoilers, :rotfl: ) but if she does turn against him again he'll just react the same way, cast her aside and turn cold.

I agree, jail is too good for Johnny. :angry:

[Babe14]

I think Ruby finds out something this week is it (a) or could it be (b):rotfl:

Looking forward to Johnny turning into a wreck and to the storylines after Dennis' demise.:crying:

[Babe14]

I think I made a mistake when I said trio earlier plus one, I think it should be foursome plus poss one:p :lol:

[BlackKat]

According to the press office spoilers, Johnny takes Ruby on (spoiler) after Ruby tries taking her own (spoiler) :p :lol: :rotfl:

[Kim]

lol. Guilty conscience or what. Also, the way Johnny was holding the phone, I thought it had changed since Dennis threw him the phone, so he somehow managed to phone someone after he said hev was dying. Drama Queen!

[Babe14]

Liar more like! He knew just the right buttons to press as far as Dennis was concerned playing on his emotions. I loved the way Dennis said that he wouldn't give it a second thought that he left Johnny there dying!

Back to the Danny being killed I'm going for Jakey (Spoiler) set up(spoiler)Danny (spoiler) Goodbye Johnny(spoiler) and eventually Jakey (spoiler) will be able to come to terms (spoiler):rotfl: :p

"No, I'm dying."
"Oh, for god sake."

"Oh, have a bloody plaster and shut up."

[Kim]

Lol!

[Tannie]

lol instead of drama queen do you not mean drama king seeing as he is not a women? Sorry that just came to me.

[BlackKat]

Liked Jake's scene with Deano -- looks like our boy's moody in the morning. "Never heard of her." *slam door*...:lol: And I liked his wee smile when he asked Phil if there was a beer in it for him.

He really likes the stripy t-shirt doesn't he, :lol: I don't think I'm too keen on the dressing gown though, :angel:



lol instead of drama queen do you not mean drama king seeing as he is not a women? Sorry that just came to me

No, he's a total queen. :lol: He was at it again tonight:

"I'm in a coma."
"It's just a few bruises Johnny."
"No, it's not, I'm dying."
"A few scrapes maybe..."
"Help me. I need life support."
"Oh, whatever. Just get some rest and shut up."

Yes, yes, it did. Off-screen.

Or possibly I made it up. :lol: :rotfl:

[Kim]

Well, I'n that case, well done, very good writing:)

[Babe14]

Lol!!

[Babe14]

I love Jakey in his grey trackie bottoms "Swoon" sexy or what!

[BlackKat]

Jakey in the bookies! :cheer: :cheer: Thought of you Babe14 when that happened cos I remember you suggested it ages ago. Hee, they should just let us write Jakey's storylines. Or maybe we're being spied on. :lol:

And showing his brains again -- Deano's only managing the stall for him, not taking it over completely. So Jake should still get some money coming in from that.

And him in his Santa hat. :wub: Poor guy really wasn't cut out for being a market trader. I remember the last time we saw him look after it for Alfie -- he just stood there glaring at everyone, :lol:

[Babe14]

Oh great! Yes I've noticed that certain things keep happening where Jakey is concerned and yes I think we are being spied on. Surely it would be easier for them just to employ us to write Jakey scripts/Jakey and Phil (tease..tease..) and maybe Pat scripts too.(Hint..Hint) LOL!

Haven't seen enders this week have decided to try and wait for the omnibus on Sunday then if it is Jakey orientated I can spend two hours swooning and drooling!!

[Babe14]

P.S. Notice the character interaction is growing (um..wonder where that could of come from)LOL!

[x Amby x]

i quite like jake, hes a good character. i liked the scene with danny when he was dressed as doctor who for the st georges day party! lol thats was such a crack up!

[Babe14]

The commical moments between Jake and Danny were very good. In that particular one that you mentioned I loved the way Jake went to Danny "oo can we go in your Tardis!"

[Babe14]

And him in his Santa hat. :wub:

Um..now there's a thought Jakey in nothing but a santa hat:wub: :love:

It would be so much easier...

It's not all Jake (the majority is...who else but Ruby, Juley and Wellard). He's in Monday for a bit, but had quite a few scenes on Thursday working on the market. In a santa hat. It hovers somewhere in between amusing, cute, and *thud*. :wub:

[Babe14]

Thanks. :) Has he started at the Bookies yet or has Pat just offered him a job? This sounds good and a build up to a stroyline...

Looks like lots of interaction with the Wicks is on the way as well as hopefully the Millers, this will make me happy. I do like Jake with Pat and hope to see the two of them invovled in a lot of future storylines together, involving Pat and her new found family!

She offered him the job Thursday (and he took it), and arranged for Deano to manage the stall for him, (because Jake in his own words 'Would rather stick forks in his eyes than do it'). And then on Friday she was helping Patrick with the carlot but said she couldn't stay long because Jake was on his own in the bookies, and that he'd think she'd done a runner. We didn't actually see Jake in Friday's episode though.

[Babe14]

I think I will forget the idea of Jakey being a club owner and stick to the Bookies as he looks so cute behind that counter and this way Pat and Jake can build up a good friendship. Builder Jakey is still my fav but Jakey doesn't like being a builder :(

[BlackKat]

I think Jake's practically worked everywhere in the Square by now -- in the club with Johnny, on the market, in the Vic. :lol:

He's slotting in everywhere right now, and it feels much better than when every single scene he had was about Chrissie. I think things are looking good for 2006.

I'm wondering what makes him go dark for a bit though. At first I thought it would be being upset about Chrissie, Nana dying, Alfie leaving etc, but he hasn't really let that phase him. :searchme:

he hasnt, has he? he needs a bigger part and better storylines!! im missing him!! :heart:

[BlackKat]

he hasnt, has he? he needs a bigger part and better storylines!! im missing him!! :heart:

I'm liking what we've got at the moment actually. If in say two months time there hasn't been a storyline then I'll mind, but I think they're better off building up interaction between him and other characters, and then bringing the big storylines out.

[Babe14]

Purrrrr *thud* *Thud* *Thud*

"Santa Jakey" Wow he looked really lush!

What I liked even more was the fact that Jakey had that battered worn look leather jacket on!:love: Really *Thud Lush* *Thud Lush* *Thud Lush* I love him in it! I like his other one which he wears a lot but this one really is Jakey and gives him a more rugged look. (Not to mention very hot and sexy!)

Sorry BK I disagree about the dressing gown and loved it! I loved it when Deano (another character with great potential - Think I'll start on him as well with regard "Theory" storylines!) knocked on Jakey's door for the third time and Jakey got P'd off and came marching out of the house. oo that brutal streak is starting to surface, I love it when he gets mad and brutal.:wub:

"Rugged Jakey":wub:

"Dressing Gown":wub:

"Santa Jakey":wub:

[Babe14]

Forgot to mention I love his stripey T shirt. He looks lovely in it! *Thud*

Wonder if Jakey will buy a wellard T shirt. um..Wellard T shirt plus battered leather Jacket..(Faint..Faint)*Thud* *Lush*:love: :love: :wub:

He hasn't worked in the laundrette yet:rotfl:

I too am very pleased with the character interaction and am glad to see that our instincts about Jakey fitting in anywhere and working well on his own are right. I really do think that it would be ainteresting to team Jake and Phil up together. As far as Deano is concerened I think that Jakey could well adopt him as a younger brother. (I.E Spencer and Alfie) Love the re-interaction with Pat and I like it when Jake/Minty/Gary and Billy have scenes together. This is nearly always commical.

I'm sorry but in the end I felt that it just didn't work Jake being with Chrissie to me he just became a background character which I was worried about and the character also started to come across as weak. Now that Jake is on his own and interacting with others, the character is once again becoming strong and getting stronger. I am really enjoying how the character is developing (well done Joel) Jake has so many different sides to him. I want Jake to find love again but it has to be someone completely different from Chrissie and I want him to play the field for a while first.

Looking forward to Jakey going dark - I thought maybe it could be after the "rumour" death of Danny, but maybe it could be to do with Johnny - a secret revealed perhaps??:p :p This would provide a good reason for Danny to return. There again Jake could become invovled in the "Dennis Murder":crying: and want to help get revenge on Johnny. Or maybe it could be a brutal confrontatin with Johnny and he does something horrible and evil to Jakey, like tell him that it was Danny who killed Dennis...

[Babe14]

Or maybe Johnny hurts Pat...:p :p

I think Jake going dark will definitely be Danny involved but it could be also be the "secret" revealed -- hell, we're right about most things :p :lol:

But I think if Jake were to go totally dark it would be to protect Danny, or to get justice for Danny's death.

I can also see Jake setting up a sort of make-your-own-family situation, with Pat, Deano possibly Dawn and the Millers, possibly Garry, Billy, maybe Minty. Then trying to make that work with the return of Danny - we've seen him struggle to balance Danny and Chrissie, and he ultimately picked Danny (Yeah, he did come back for Chrissie, but I think at that point Danny had already gone travelling so there was no real choice involved for Jake.) I think he'd pick Danny again. And what I think sets him apart from everyone else that may be against Johnny, is that if Danny dies, Jake will have no one else to have to think about or take into consideration.

[Babe14]

I think that he feels like that anyway and is perhaps just thinking about himself for a change. It could be possible that Danny killed Dennis as he has always hated him but if this was the case then Jake would just tell Danny to do one and that he was on his own and this time it was for real. This going dark has to be to do with Johnny/Phil feud ( yet another victim) and the supposed return of Danny. To make Danny return to Walford knowing that if Johnny caught up with him he would be a dead man has to be Jake orientated unless there is something we are missing here..BK..something we haven't thought about yet.:hmm: I am sure though if this is the case we will suss it out before it is shown:rotfl:

:rotfl: Well that would be enough to make anyone go dark, knowing that you have a murdering b/d for a dad!:rotfl:

[BlackKat]

If Danny was in trouble because of killing Dennis, Jake would help him. I don't think he'd ever be able to let go of Danny completely -- which I think emphasises the differences between Jake and Danny, and Jake and everyone else. Anyone else he can walk away from without a backwards glance, even someone like Chrissie. From what Alfie said, Jake&Danny were isolated from the rest of the family for quite a few years so obviously as some point Jake had walked away from them. Danny, not so much. If Danny was in danger Jake wouldn't walk away.

I think we are missing something: Something has to happen to make Danny risk coming back, and it has to be to do with Jake. Does Jake go dark before or after Danny returns? I mean if it's after Danny dies, obviously that's what causes it, but if it's before Danny comes back...what the hell is it?? *is impatient*

[Bree]

i really like jake and the scene with deno and him when he first came in to it i loved

Return of "spoiler - unmentioned person so far" and what is revealed here and happens could cause the dark side to come out. Or perhaps spoiler..a ghost from the past - re-conversation with Chrissie the night they went to bed before Danny set fire to Johnny"Evils" house:p :p :) Jake goes off the rails/dark, Danny somehow finds out and re-appears:p

[Babe14]

I think that Jake and Deano will have a very good friendship, a kind of brotherly one.

I'd like to see Danny reversing the usual sequence of events and have him running to Jake's rescue. Of course Jake will just say "Well thanks for that, but Johnny's still kinda pissed so if you could just leave again." :lol: Huh, that's gratitute for you, :p

I want to see Mama Moon (Alison) appear at some point or at least find out some info on her. Dad would but good as well, but to have secrets dredged up by a reappearing mother would be a break for the norm I think. Plus if we were writing the show I think Jakey would have more than enough evil daddies. :rotfl: :p

Only thing that's putting me off that theory :p is that it would inevitably involve Ruby. And centre around Ruby. And just basically be all. about. Ruby. I wouldn't have minded it before but I've gone off her big style since about October.

I still like the scene of Jake and Ruby in Johnny's kitchen when Ruby first arrived though. I liked the early interaction between the Moons and Ruby, it was a shame they dropped it.

I'd like to see a brotherly type interaction with Jake and Deano as well. :thumbsup:


ETA: oo, 2000th post. And it's in the Jake thread, :lol: Oh, poo, I'm going to be that horrible pink colour. *likes blue, sulks*

[Babe14]

Well Done!:clap: I'd love to be pink, how about we swop:rotfl:

My brain is in sleep mode today so it's not going off on one like it usually does. Have no fear it will awaken again:rotfl: :rotfl: And when it does Deano better watch out:rotfl: :p :p

^I love that picture of Jakey. Very dark/sinister looking, :D

Mag also mentions that Johnny leaves with Ruby to start a new life (end of next week I think it'll be) with no intention of coming back.

'But his new life lasts just three weeks then something happens and he does come back.

It turns out that while Johnny is prepared to turn over a new leaf, somebody out there isn't and there are scores to settle.'

And the word is it will be settled with Johnny's death - and soon.

So now we have two questions --- what brings Danny back, and what brings Johnny back? Have a feeling Phil&Grant are what brings Johnny back, although I guess it could be Danny. :searchme:

[sheilamarie]

that is a well good photo of jake he looks soo sexy lol

Gorgeous and very *Thud* *Thud*:wub:

Glad that Jakey is going to be a suspect and involved ina whodunnit.

Motives:

Sharon - Dennis
Phil - Johnny threatened his family, knows about Sam and Phil has a score to settle for Sharon.

Jakey - It's down to Johnny that Chrissie went down and that he lost the love of his life and Johnny double crossed him with the CCTV. Had a gun pointed in his face and almost witnessed the murder of his brother. Johnny humiliates Jake, sacked him and Danny from Scarlets. And maybe Jake is just as sick as Phil of Johnny pushing everyone around, murdering them and then paying his respects at their funeral. Maybe Jake feels partly responsible for everything that has happened as it was mainly due to him and Danny that Johnny came to the square.

Another motive yet to be revealed perhaps, as we know Johnny is going to get worse. Um..just what will he do to Jakey:hmm:

Could Jake somehow lure Johnny back to the square on behalf of Phil and Sharon as part of their plan to fiinish Johnny. So it looks like Phil/Sharon/Jakey will all be part of the plan to zap the Evil Johnny...

[Babe14]

oh I forgot Grant.

[Babe14]

Cracked it!

Johnny leaves for a new life with Ruby and returns to the square because Jake is in trouble and needs his help (Mitchells). When he is back in the square Johnny discovers that Jake isn't in trouble at all and the whole thing was a setup as Jake is working with the Mitchells to get rid of him. Later it is revealed as to why Johnny came back to help Jake when Danny returns to the Square with "Mum" whom he came across during his travels...

[Siobhan]

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: that should be in the fantasy scripts

[BlackKat]

Not sure if Jake would risk a feud with Johnny though, especially if Johnny had left. I think if Jake is a suspect in killing Johnny his motive might just be as simple as protecting Danny. Johnny wants Danny out of Walford, Danny won't go, meaning Johnny has to go.

I'm wondering what Danny's going to be like when he comes back. Same as he was before he left, better or worse, :hmm: He'll probably have done something wacky like joined a cult. That's just like Danny.

Also I'm pissed cos the Radio Times doesn't have Jake on the cast list for next week, which usually means the character isn't in it that week. Sometimes they're wrong and miss them off when they are in it, but not usually. Grr....


And just because:

[kerry4nigel]

Does anyone know when Danny is actually supposed to be coming back? Is it soon or do we have to wait months to see more of Jake?

[BlackKat]

Well apparently the storyline with Danny is Jake trying to get him back out of Walford because of Johnny, and I think Johnny leaves for good around Febuary. So it should be then that Danny's back. I don't know for sure though.

And we better get some Jake before then. *gets the doorstop out*

I'VE JESS HAD ENOUGH

JUST last month, recently-departed EastEnders star Jessie Wallace was said to have found new love in the arms of hunky co-star Joel Beckett.

But now 3am can reveal 32-year-old Joel, aka Jake Moon, has been tempted away from Jessie, 34, by glamour girl Abi Titmuss.

He and Abi have been spotted going out on dates in London. And friends of the Celebrity Love Island star - who was recently linked to Phoenix Nights funnyman Paddy McGuinness - say that 29-year-old Abi is "smitten".

"Abi first met Joel at last summer's V Festival," reveals a friend of the busty blonde. "At the time, she was seeing Lee Sharpe, but Joel definitely caught her eye. A few months later, they bumped into each other again. And when Abi realised Joel was available and interested, she turned on the charm.

"When Abi makes up her mind about someone she goes in all guns blazing. Last Friday, they ended up in the Long Bar of the Sanderson Hotel drinking **** tails and getting cosy.

"Abi was all over him and they were openly snogging - things were getting steamy. After a few drinks they disappeared upstairs."



Meanwhile, Jessie has also found a new friend. Last week it was revealed that she spent the night in the penthouse flat of married Billy Murray, 59 - Enders' Johnny Allen. You couldn't make it up...

Hear hear!

3AM, Mirror

[Debs]

abi titmuss??? omg has thebbloke lost all his senses!

[BlackKat]

Well, a) It's a tabloid newspaper. The Billy Murray/Jessie Wallace story has already being sorted out by Billy Murray's wife. It is very possible to make things up. b) If it is true, as long as Joel's happy and can do his job properly, I don't think we need to know who's he's seeing outside of work.

[xStephaniex]

Jake is welll gorgeous !!!! and he seems totally comitted to chrissie! - i think the scenes where he witnessed andy being murdered by johnny and after those scenes where well sweet !! and his face was really sad when he witnessed it !!!

[Tannie]

I know i loved him and Chrissie!! They were so cute.

[BlackKat]

Is it me or was Jakey's hair spiked up in that first scene with Pat? Something was different with it. Looked good though.

Liked the scene with Juley in the bookies, (also the scene in the market "Get scared." and him dragging Juley off to one side) It felt quite...I don't want to say dark, cos it was now where near a slit-your-wrists depress-athon, but the Jake's line of if you can't fix a mistake you just live with it and pay the price did feel quite pessimistic (can't think of a better word).

Glad to see they're still keeping the undercurrent of Andy's death affecting him, especially after it felt pushed aside as of late. I think it's doing quite well kept as an undercurrent as well, it isn't in your face all the time but you can tell it's there.


ETA: Spoilers for Johnny's exit (http://www.mirror.co.uk/archive/archive/tm_objectid=16589148%26method=full%26siteid=94762-name_page.html) Pretty detailed spoilers too. I think they sound kooky -- to much like an action movie, so I hope if it is true some of the plot holes are filled it.

Oh, and I'm slowly getting used to the pink username. Slowly being the word. :lol:

i know he did spike his hair up, He looks nice like that lol!

BK we really will have to start negotiating with the Beeb:rotfl: some of it is as we have thought out, but there is a lot of it which doesn't ring true to me.

Like: We know what happened to (spoiler) as Jake has already said.

Johnny didn't/doesn't know where (spoiler) is as he asked Jake.

Surely (spoiler) would go to his brother??

O.K a few things are explained (again as we thought:lol: )

Looks like a corker and I especailly like the fact that it is on location and a whole week of Jake:wub: :love:

But :crying: :crying: Jakey:love:

[Babe14]

There is one way from which Jake would recover from killing Danny and that is if he no longer recognised Danny as the brother he loves, protected, grew up/brought up, mopped up after anymore, but instead as someone he no longer knew or recognised, someone who had gone down a path of no return and turned into a killer...

[Material Girl]

Maybe Jake thinks that if he doesn't kill Johnny, someone else will. Coz in EE, people that kill someone never get away with it, look at Dennis. :searchme:

The other I think is if in Jake's head, by killing Danny he was protecting him. If Danny did kill Dennis then he's gone past the point of no return, but it's still Johnny pulling the strings, still Johnny pushing Danny towards his fate. By killing Danny, in Jake's head, he's freeing him. Nothing's going to hurt Danny anymore, nothing can hurt him, he's safe.

I'm just not sure if they could pull that off though. :searchme:

Joel is nominated for "Fittest Fella" in the All About Soap Bubble Awards. (Which I have never heard off, up til now :lol: )

Here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/news/news_content/news_20060124.shtml)

Voting is up to the 13th Febuary. I haven't got All About Soap yet, but I'll be getting it tomorrow so I'll post details of how to vote. :)

Oh, and I think he's up against: Bill Ward, Ryan Thomas (Corrie) and Ben Freeman (Emmerdale).

[BlackKat]

Okay, to vote:

Text: FELLA1 to 80889
Phone 0905 0838322 and his number is 1
Or buy the magazine and post off the wee form inside. Texts cost 50p plus standard charge, phone calls cost 50p from BT landlines.

Little bit of news on Jake and Dawn, but not really sure what happens:

All About Soap
Tuesday 7th Feb Deano and Jake bet on who can pull Dawn first.
Thursday 9th Feb Dawn sets her sights on the new doctor.
Friday 10th Feb Deano works his Wicks charm on Dawn after she goes on a disastrous date.

Soaplife
Tuesday 7th Feb Jake wins Dawn for a bet.
Thursday 9th Feb Dawn's down in the dumps and Honey decides a new love interest could be just what the doctor ordered.
Friday 10th Feb A disastrous date with an uptown guy makes Dawn appreciate things closer to home.

Press Office Spoilers
Thursday 9th Feb Elsewhere, Deano tries to ask Dawn out, but she turns him down as she has her eye on the doctor.
Friday 10th Feb Dawn goes on a date with a wine merchant, but when it ends badly she is comforted by Deano.


So, er...yeah. Not sure what happens. Whether we have a love triangle on our hands, if it's all just a bet for Jake and it's for the purpose of setting Dawn up with Deano. It sounds like Jake does win though, but then on Thursday Dawn's upset so does Jake tell her it's all just a bet? *confused*

[_lil_hunni]

Wow never expected Jake to be up for "fittest fella", good for him. I might have to vote for Jason in corrie or Emmerdale's scott though, they're better looking tbh.

[Tannie]

i will defenatley vote for him!!

[Babe14]

He'll win hands down, as there is defo no competiton with that prat Scot, O.K Ryan is a looker so is Bill but Joel is a *Thud* *Thud* stunner!!

Huh Hum intersting storylines...

[Bree]

hes so gonna win ill be vote for him ummm jake!!!!!! :)

[_lil_hunni]

I like jake at times too but I think Jason from corrie is alot better looking though. Jake has a wierd chin and mouth and a kinda square face with eyes sunken in.A little bland for my taste.

[Bree]

jake hasent been on eastenders for a while cant wait for him to get back :p

[BlackKat]

If that's your opinion fine. But please don't post it here as this thread is for Jake/Joel fans, :)



jake hasent been on eastenders for a while cant wait for him to get back

I know, I'm annoyed with that. I don't even mind that spoiler so much because at least we should get some good scenes afterwards, even if the event itself is contrived. But we know he's in it next week and I'm pretty sure Danny will be back soon, if everything kicks off at the end of March. It's silly though when characters (any character, not just Jake) disappears for weeks then comes back like nothings happened. I remember Jake&Danny weren't on screen for about a month and half last spring, then the next episode they were in the pub like normal, :lol:

[Bree]

YaY more jake cant wait hes one of the best actors in the show :p

[Kim]

He is, but without Danny there he isn't getting the good storylines that he deserves.

[BlackKat]

I'm looking forward to seeing Jake&Danny again. Jake's great on his own (y'know, when he's on screen :p ) but I love Jake&Danny and think Jake's best scenes are with Danny and that's when you really get to the depth of his character. The first scene together when Danny returns better not be the final spoiler scene, because that would be so crap.

[Babe14]

That will be about right everything is going right for Jake for once and who turns up to mess it up for him AGAIN...:)

I prefer Jake without Danny and yes I am p'd that Jake isn't being used as he should grrr...one thing that they have/were doing right and that is interacting Jake with the other characters. I suspect that we are jakeless at the mo because at the time of filiming all the storylines which are currently being aired are either exit storylines, or it would of been around the xmas holiday time. So hopefully come March we should have loads of Jakey!

[_lil_hunni]

If that's your opinion fine. But please don't post it here as this thread is for Jake/Joel fans, :)
:

Well I am a fan at times. I just don't find him physically attractive.

[Bree]

yea well he is a brill actor as well :p x.x.x.x.x.x

[BlackKat]

He lives!!!!!! And flirts! And wears nice shirts! (That wasn't meant to rhyme. We're not composing An Ode To Jake Moon here. :p Though if we ever do that's the opening line, 'kay? :lol: )

And wow, Deano. Somebody's a sore loser. :thumbsdow

Liked that they had Jake say the bet wasn't in good taste. Because, well...it wasn't. Not that Dawn, after spending his money and flirting at him during a funeral, has much moral high-ground. But two wrongs at all that. However, in both instances (the funeral flirting and the bet, the money thing was just dull) it was just too funny for me to care. :lol:

I hope that's not it for Jake/Dawn and it's not just a way for them to set Dawn up with Deano.

Also liked that we didn't actually see Jake pull Dawn. He casually did it without Deano, or the audience seeing. Don't know if it was intentional or if the writer was just like "Yeah, don't have enough time for that scene *cuts out*". But I think it worked well.

And loved the first scene where Dawn said it was a nice shirt (it was). "Thanks...Right...Okay." Just his expression. "What the hell are you talking about?" :lol:

[x Amby x]

tonight was great between Jake and Deano, they make a great double act i think lol. I think the age gap between them helps too, they're like long lost brothers messing about!

[Bree]

i really liked jake tonight him and dawn are ok but i dont think they make couple that jake and chrissie made but i think dawns ok with him :p x.x.x ( jakes still too good for her)

[Em]

It was nice to see Jake back to being a cheeky chappie, andgetting over Chrissie thank god!

everything you said is soo true (and i can't be pbothered typing it all out :p)
Loved the shirt bit! :lol:

[Babe14]

One prob now though, Jakey has some heavy competition from the new Doc or should I say the "Naked Doc On the Step":wub:

Guess Jakey will have to keep on getting his kit off and we'll have to have that shower scene and it willhave to be more than just a glance..about a 10 min shot should do it!:rotfl:

[Tannie]

yeah he does have a bit of competiton even through i don't like Dawn. :wub: 1 0 minuet shot with him in the shower would be quite nice actually :p :rotfl:

Yes, lovely his gorgeous bod covered in foamy shower gel,:wub: but I actually meant a shot of him coming out of the shower grabbing a small towel and for us to have some nice shots of Jakey wondering around in it for a while...maybe his towel could get caught in the door too as he comes out of the bathroom
:wub: :love: :rotfl:

I think I'm going off Dawn a bit too. I'm actually starting to think about Jakey with one of the new characters coming in..I think this would prob be more suitable for him, just Jakey's sort of thing..:p :p :lol:

[Tannie]

lol yeah althrough i don't think anyone could ever replace Chrissie! Chrissie and Jake made a cute couple:p and yeah the towel could get caught:p Liking the idea:p

[diamond1]

after tuesday i doubt ee will have dawn and jake as a couple

[*-Rooney-*]

i cant actually see what is so great about jake...SORRY. hes boring and only ever had a storyline when chrissie was in it. his main job now is standing at the bar drinking and he doesnt even crack a smile

[diamond1]

like most of the cast then....... :rotfl:

[Tannie]

He did crack a smile he cracked a smile on Tuesday:p

[*-Rooney-*]

oh i must have blinked and missed it lol

[Tannie]

lol and it was a cheeky smile to:p

[BlackKat]

And he's cute when he's moody anyway. :p

[Tannie]

i know he is cute when he's moody and when he's sad and when he's happy and angry any emoticons i've missed :p

[Babe14]

i cant actually see what is so great about jake...SORRY. hes boring and only ever had a storyline when chrissie was in it. his main job now is standing at the bar drinking and he doesnt even crack a smile

Then do not post in this thread, as it is for people who are fans of Jake and LIKE the character.
The fact that Jake has no storylines at the mo is down to the writers and producers, he is not being used enough and therefore the character isn't being allowed to develop properly. With regards to Jake smiling he hasn't exactly had a lot to smile about lately has he?

[Babe14]

i know he is cute when he's moody and when he's sad and when he's happy and angry any emoticons i've missed :p

He is just *Hot* full stop:wub: and he has a gorgeous cheeky smile, I love it when he laughs too.

I think that Jakey will get his own back on Deano once he finds out that he has managed to charm Dawn.

[kerry4nigel]

I think Jake and Dawn are better suited, Deano is too young and childsish for Dawn. I don't think i could see Jake and Dawn in a relationship though i think maybe just to have a bit of fun. I doubt Jake will cheer up any time soon especially with the return of Danny looming. :thumbsdow

[Tannie]

Yeah the return of danny might upset him but i disagree Dawn and Jake are not suited for each other well that is what i think i think he was much better with Chrissie.

[Bree]

Yeah the return of danny might upset him but i disagree Dawn and Jake are not suited for each other well that is what i think i think he was much better with Chrissie.i tottaly agree with you tanya i dont think him and dawn go well Together at :thumbsdow all him and chrissie all the way :p

[BlackKat]

I don't think it needs to be a competition -- Jake and Chrissie wouldn't work a second time around, too much has happened. It was right for them to split up. It was very much a relationship of convenience, for both of them I think. Jake doesn't need a relationship like the one with Chrissie right now because it'd just be slipping back into "saving someone" mode - as Jake himself has realised.

In fact, I don't think Jake needs any relationship right now (I'm talking as 'lets pretend he's a real person' btw, not what works as a character in a tv program). I think he needs a bit of time on his own. However, apparently if a character is on their own they are on their own off-screen. :rolleyes:

So if I think any relationship right now needs to be a fun, non-angst filled one, which is what I think a relationship with Dawn would be like - although I agree with diamond1, it doesn't look like there will be anything between them.

Like I said, IMO, it doesn't need to be a competition.

[diamond1]

i think dawn and jake would be a good couple in real life but i know full well in eastenders they would soon get broken apart you see if ee was real they would be perfectly suited but as a 'tv couple' it would be like the zoe/dennis affair and it wouldnt be a meaningful relationship i mean eastenders wont make jake a fun flirty character as he is portrayed as a moody character so him in a fun flirty realtionship would not do much to his reputation as to who he is in the show. I dont know why eastenders hinted strongly a relationship between jake and dawn but it made jake have a bad boy way about him by using dawn as a bet (although we know he did find it untasteful)

i am really disapointed jake and dawn are not likely to be a couple in the show and i did read somehwere about a childhood sweetheart and if this where to be true it would be great but i doubt it would happen....sadly

[Babe14]

i am really disapointed jake and dawn are not likely to be a couple in the show and i did read somehwere about a childhood sweetheart and if this where to be true it would be great but i doubt it would happen....sadly

I think it was one of my threads you read about a childhood sweetheart as I thought that this would be a good storyline and the next big romance for Jake. If this was to happen I would want it to be a permanent relationship and Enders next big wedding. However it can't happen yet as it is way to soon and there are other events I would like to unfold and happen first which would lead up to her appearance. In the mean time I think Jakey should just have some fun not only with the girls but with the boys too, er.. by that I mean a few boys nights out:rotfl:

Although I am going off Dawn a bit I'm not ruling out the possibility of a "Fun" romance between Jake and Dawn. Also I think Jake could have some fun with one or two of the new girl characters soon to join Enders, oneof which would be just up his street...

Also I would like Jake and the Doctor to become friends.

[diamond1]

yeah thinking of it im sure it was on here i read that about the childhood thing, last night i was thinking of the old chrissie and jake thread i hope a writer takes note because that would be great or isnt his mum or dad an alcholic maybe they could do what coronataion street did with jamie and have him look after his parent who is sick and he finds it hard because of the guilt with dannys death but its very unlikley they will bring another branch of the moon family in .

i also assume they might bring tracy ann back for some more scenes in court where jake may go to for the trial of chrissie watts i cant see eastenders letting a potential story like that just slip away.

although i never did see the week in which chrissie was in prison i was on holiday so i dont know if chrissie severed all ties with jake (i mean its not like the ee episode guide gives you much to go on),on another not wasnt this the week it showed jake of the old not quite the jake who was made to look like ian beale during the mitchells return
because i read maybe on this thread loads of scenes and that from the actual episode and it sounded good

[BlackKat]

or isnt his mum or dad an alcholic maybe they could do what coronataion street did with jamie and have him look after his parent who is sick and he finds it hard because of the guilt with dannys death but its very unlikley they will bring another branch of the moon family in.

His father is/was (we don't know where he is now) an alcoholic, and also used to beat Jake and Danny. They spent time in different foster homes, but always ended up being sent back home. Danny mentioned their father used to leave them alone - he left them alone for two weeks one time with no money or food.

If his father was to turn up (which I'd love) I doubt it'd be a taking care of scenario. What would be interesting was if the father had reformed and wanted to reconnect with Jake - maybe hearing of Danny's death has made him realise what he's lost. I think that would be a good story. It could turn out the father hasn't or can't change his ways and goes back on the booze. Another good direction would be if the dad is truly reformed and sorry, but Jake still can't forgive him.

We don't know anything about their mother though -- not even whether she was around when the abuse was going on, whether she was also beat, whether she was a part of it or just negilent. For all we know she died when they were young, or left the family. We know zilch, so they could do all sorts with her.


i also assume they might bring tracy ann back for some more scenes in court where jake may go to for the trial of chrissie watts i cant see eastenders letting a potential story like that just slip away.

although i never did see the week in which chrissie was in prison i was on holiday so i dont know if chrissie severed all ties with jake (i mean its not like the ee episode guide gives you much to go on),on another not wasnt this the week it showed jake of the old not quite the jake who was made to look like ian beale during the mitchells return
because i read maybe on this thread loads of scenes and that from the actual episode and it sounded good

Tracy-Ann is pregnant, so I don't think Chrissie will be back any time soon. I don't think Jake would go to the trial unless he was called as a witness.

Chrissie did sever all ties - she said if Jake tried to visit again she wouldn't see him. They did part on sort of good terms - even though she was pissed over the bail money, she got over it I think, and said under any other circumstances she'd have liked to marry him. She wanted Jake to get on with his life, and she also knew that Jake wouldn't wait forever and eventually he'd meet someone else even if he was still with Chrissie.

That week was good - we got lots of good Jake scenes. He tried to pick a fight, first with Chrissie's lawyer and then a guy in the bar. But that didn't work, so he had a one-night stand instead. He then (wonderfully, I might add) thanked the girl for the sex and left to go back and see Chrissie again. :lol: He didn't tell Chrissie about the girl, but I think she could see it.

[diamond1]

lol sounds like a great week totally annoyed that i missed it

im wondering where all the characters in eastenders have gone (e.g juley,gus)i mean once jake and danny where like the main stoyline then he went with danny away from it for ages only to appear i think when dennis and sharon returned and then they went away again during the fire and jake sort of retunred to chrssie a changed person only to hide in the shadows.

speaking of which i missed quite alot of eastenders from decemeber to january and im so glad to have set the recorder for nanas death because him and alfie had the very best scenes that episode i never did see nanas funeral dont know if he showed i assume he did i dont even know why spencer didnt go but i really hope they use him because joel beckett has been in tons of stuff like the office and a few films what im trying to get at is i hope they use jake as a character a bit more before he adds his name to the great under used people that have left like kate for instance

It is annoying when characters disappear for weeks (although I'm not missing Juley :lol: ). I think Jake and Danny's first "disappearance" was due to them being axed, and then they reappeared for the exit storyline, which was obviously changed so Jake would have a reason to come back (Chrissie).

I completely agree that they aren't using him well at all. Although I'm enjoying the scenes he has now more than the ones we got during the Mitchells return. Even though he was in most of the episodes there, it was usually just "Look there's Jake with Chrissie behind the bar...next scene!" I'd rather have good scenes every few weeks where Jake actually has lines then that crapfest again. Of course what I'd really like is for Jake to have an actual storyline. They better do this Danny thing right, and they better do the fallout on Jake right as well, because no matter how contrived it is, I think Jake's reaction to having killed Danny has the potential to be great.

Jake was at Nana's funeral -- he came back on the Tuesday after Nana's death, the funeral was the Thursday. I agree, Jake and Alfie's scenes the day Nana died were just fantastic. Such good interaction, they worked well together.

[diamond1]

his scenes during the mitchells return where pointless only time i felt his presence was needed was when jhonny tried to set him up with the tape
other than that jake seemed cowardly which everyone knows isnt true as he did punch andy hunter once and nearly got himself shot for danny.i think they needed loads of characters involved in the whole plot

[JustJodi]

HEY JAKE/DANNY LOVERS,, CHECK THIS OUT:


Feb.24,2006

Stars in Fast Cars
Nell McAndrew, Ainsley Harriot, Jilly Goolden and EastEnder Jake Maskall drive competitively to see who is tonight's fastest star in a car.

this will be aired next Friday just before EE.. we get to see another side of "Danny"..

[diamond1]

Dont know if anyone is aware but stacys next flling is with jake whats everyones opinon on this -im not into the idea that jake would do this because his character has never shown he would be sexually intrested in someone as young as stacy althought its not wrong as stacy is shown as a mature teen anyway i still think jake is not the guy who would fall for stacy --and as for punching bradley theres two reasons this annoys me the guy has just recovered from his other black eye and two it dont make sense why jake would allow the phils and ians to get away with mistreating chrissie but when bradley does something wrong he hits him im not really up for this storyline

[BlackKat]

Nothing happens. She tries it on when she gets drunk, but Jake isn't interested. He tries to take her home as she's too drunk. Bradley sees them thinks Jake is trying it on, and tries to beat him up. Jake defends himself, Stacey throws up on his shoes. Jake goes home.

I'm glad it's not what it sounded like originally, because I also thought it was out of character. :)


Btw, Danny should be back soon. :cheer: The preview for the next issue of Soaplife (will be out two weeks today) has the snippet "Danny's decision: Why is Danny back in Walford." He should show up in the POs spoilers soon as well, either this Fridays or the next I'd say.

[littlemo]

I don't think a lot of these topics are allowed on this thread (spoilers). There's threads on the spoilers board.

[BlackKat]

There is a warning on the first page for spoilers. Possibly this thread should be in the spoiler section, but it's been here a while and we've discussed spoilers here since it was started.

There are threads for the spoilers in the spoiler forum, but we also sometimes like to discuss Jake's involvement in more detail. Surely it's better to keep that all in one place. :searchme:

[Dutchgirl]

It would indeed be out if character if he tries anything with Stacey, I can imagine though that he tries to help her if she is drunk.

[diamond1]

OMG ok you have made my night with that dunno why but i feel alot better
cant wait wonder if its in inside soap yet?

[Babe14]

That sounds more like Jake helping a damsel in distress! He just loves helping people bless.

[BlackKat]

Is it me...or did Jake call Chrissie a psycho? I mean, he might have been talking about someone else or more than one woman but...I'm pretty sure he was including Chrissie in it as well.

He was hilarious in the last scene. "Molested by a teenybopper and attacked by the ginger ninja," and "I've got jackets older than her." :lol:

But...did Stacey throw up on the scruffy trainers? Because that just isn't on. They'll never be the same again. *mourns* :p

Of course, now most likely it'll be bye bye Jakey for another two weeks until:

Tuesday 21 March
Meanwhile, Jake is shocked when a very familiar face turns up in Scarlet.

That's all the mention of him that week. Phil's back on the Friday, so I think everything will kick off quite quickly.


Still annoyed that they aren't doing much with him, but hopefully things will start to pick up when things with Danny kick off, and in the aftermath of that.

[Debs]

the ginger ninja bit really did make me laugh!!

[Babe14]

Jake had that lovely battered leather on again I love him in that and it really does his character justice, gives him the perfect bad boy/rough edge look. The jacket, plus black jumper, lovely pair of jeans and the scruffy trainers really fits in with his character right now. Jake was on form and his character is now starting to be portrayed how I hoped it would be portrayed, it is just such a shame we hardly see jake on our screens these days...

Not sure about the storyline coming up as I'm not sure I like it. I love drama and grit but don't really want anymore of the Johnny Allen/Phil Mitchell gangster stuff, Eatenders is moving away from all that now. I want Jake to be a bit of a wild and naughty bad boy but not in gangster style, just soap bad boy style. Stil we will see what is going to happen.

I loved the comments about Stacey and Bradley to. Poor Jake he only took Stacey home because Dawn asked him to. Also I loved the way he said to Stacey " I'm taking you home" and whilst dragging her out of the pub towards the door "go on get out"

Kind of reminded me of a Jake and Danny mo..

I really do hope that Jake is going to be used correctly and get his fair share of storylines..

[Babe14]

and Jake didn't punch Bradley just restrained him and wrestled him to the ground after he jumped him..

I know! people can't half take things out of context. It was so funny when Bradley pushed Jake to floor! I keep watching that bit over and over again. Ah! Bradley is so sweet! No thought for his personal safety, he's just all out to protect Stacey.

Jake's not that bad a guy really. He's not very understanding but at least he's not a thug.

Well we know that he's sexy and this has just proved it (and I might add getting sexier every day!!)

Well done Joel

No Jake isn't a thug just a bit of a bad boy which I like and hope he will become a lreal soap bad boy (not a thug) Jake can be very understanding at times as we have seen and the reason why he isn't now is because of what has been happening to him. The character is going in the right direction in my opinion:)

[Tannie]

I agree he isn't a thug he's just acting like he had to when he grew up. Didn't Jake's and Danny's father beat them up or something? When is the scenes with Jake and Danny and all that happeing i got told March but never the date? After what has happened with Alfie and Nana and Chrissie i really think he is doing good. I wonder what he will be like when Danny comes back?

[BlackKat]

When is the scenes with Jake and Danny and all that happeing i got told March but never the date?

Check out Week 12 and Week 13 in the spoiler section for info on Danny's return. :) They don't really say anything we don't already know, but it's got the dates on there for the big Johnny week.

[Tannie]

It's a shame all the stuff happening with Johnny just has to be when my exams are i'm realy upset about that :crying: i was looking really forward to it althrough my dad is recording it for me :D i'm really happy now :D :D :cheer: :cheer:

[megan999]

What is Jake doing now? Looks like he's given Alfie's stall to Deano. I thought he was working in the Bookies?? :searchme: Can't wait for the big Johnny storyline. :cheer:

[littlemo]

What is Jake doing now? Looks like he's given Alfie's stall to Deano. I thought he was working in the Bookies?? :searchme: Can't wait for the big Johnny storyline. :cheer:

Jake is working in the bookies. They haven't been very clear about it, but there was one scene where Pat asked Jake to work in the bookies in exchange for Deano running what used to be Alfie's stall. It's a bit confusing because we haven't seen Jake at the bookies or even seen where he lives now. I'm not sure if he still lives where all the Moons used to, in Pat's old house.

To be honest I don't see the purpose of Jake being in the square anymore. Well apart from the storyline coming up. After that he'll be again on his own in the square. What's the point? I know a lot of people like Jake's character, which is why you have this thread but I just don't see that he's needed.

Thanks. Yeah, I agree, he sort of seems a bit lost at the moment :rolleyes:

[Babe14]

Thanks. Yeah, I agree, he sort of seems a bit lost at the moment :rolleyes:

As I have said and others the reason for this is because the character has not been used or given any storylines. If Jake had some decent stroylines, there is scope and potential for plenty just read this and other Jake related threads, then the character would no appear to be "Lost". When we do get the odd glimpse of Jake he's character is developing nicely, but he has to be in the front line more or the character will become pointless and if this was to happen I would be very very annoyed:angry:

N.B Although everyones opinion is respected and interesting to read, please remember that this thread is for people who LIKE the character Jake.

[Babe14]

or even seen where he lives now. I'm not sure if he still lives where all the Moons used to, in Pat's old house.


He still lives at no 41 Albert Square:)

[BlackKat]

Jake is mentioned in the PO spoilers for Week 14, and it seems Jake now has some responsibility for Ruby. :searchme:

Well, all I'll say is they better either get Ruby back to how she was pre-October when I liked her, or it better just be a one week thing until she's settled at the Slaters.

However, if she is likeable again I think it could be a good thing. As I said before, I liked the early scenes with between Ruby and the Moon brothers. I also think if Jake is responsible for Ruby (as it sounds like he is what with giving Charlie the money as well as taking her back to the Slaters) then it's very in character. I do have a theory on why Jake is responsible for her but it's probably totally off-course.

Of course, it may just be a small "You can stay at the Slaters, here's some money for upkeep now bugger off and leave me alone," but having Jake looking out for Ruby could have the potential to be good if they repair the damage to Ruby's character. If she's how she's been since October and during Juley/Ruby I want her to die soon as possible kthnxbi. She isn't ruining any of our monthly three Jake scenes (a joke...a very bitter Joke).

[Babe14]

Um..interesting..

I like the idea of Jakey possibly "adopting" Ruby as a Surrogate Sister..

She'll be different if Jakey was to advise her, look out for her, care for her and be there for her. The main reason Ruby became annoying was because of the way Johnny's character panned out.

P.S I too have my own "Theories" about this one.:)

[BlackKat]

There's scan of next weeks Soaplife on Talk Walford (I think if you subscribe you get it delivered earlier than Tuesday).

Jake does shoot Danny but he only means to wound him (in order to stop him shooting the Mitchells). However then he realises he went too far and Danny's dead. Jake goes into shock and buries Danny in the forest.


I hope we don't see a storyline of Jake trying to avoid people finding out about him killing Danny. Firstly because we've just done that with Chrissie and Den. Secondly because it'd probably end with Jake getting sent down, meaning his character would have just been completely wasted. I can see this being likely though. :angry:

[Babe14]

Oh god I hope not! No one knows about Danny's whereabouts or where he is at the mo, so maybe it will stay this way and when Jake does accidentally kill Danny no one will be any the wiser. Mind you given the fact that Jake goes into shock and buries his brother this could mean that Jake will disappear for a while (when doesn't he) and hopefully HE WILL return and instead of acting "weird" he will just be normal but with a care free attitude and go off the rails, not giving a damn about anyone or anything. This would work if done correctly because the ODD glimpse we've had of Jake lately has shown the character with a carefree attitude.

Also with the Mitchells involved they will be the soundof it owe Jake,so they would make sure that he was alright and give him the help he needs. Afterall the Mitchells are experts at covering their tracks. This would be good as I like the idea of Jake and Phil teaming up together.

Maybe this is the "Going dark" period that has been talked about and will lead to this "Happiness" that Jake is suppose to be getting. Mean come on give the guy a break!

Maybe the Mother/Father will turn up, the "childhood" sweetheart, maybe all three with extended family and this will be the turning point for poor Jakey. They maybe the ones to pull him through his darkness. This would tie in with the "New Family Drama Orientated" period.

I'm still in two minds about this storyline as Eastenders is going away from the "Gangster" stuff, which I am glad of because the end of the "Johnny era" really did exhaust it all and put it all down the pan. Yes we need bad boys (not necessary thugs) and Jake makes an excellent bad boy with a heart. Eastenders is now Family Drama Orientated which I now prefer.

[Babe14]

P.S I have this piccy in my head of Jake's face when he realises what he has done and can picture him in the forest burrying his brother, maybe the Mitchells will want to help but Jake refuses their help???

[BlackKat]

Oh god I hope not! No one knows about Danny's whereabouts or where he is at the mo, so maybe it will stay this way and when Jake does accidentally kill Danny no one will be any the wiser.

This is what I'm hoping as well -- that no one would be looking for Danny either. I'd much rather see Jake trying to come to terms with what he did, than have a covering up storyline.

I'm a little confused about the Mitchells involvement in Danny's death. Jake finds Danny just about to murder them and shoots him. So they must see Jake do it, and therefore must be involved in covering it up. As well as (if the spoilers are all correct) Johnny is either there or arrives soon after to try and murder the Mitchells and Jake, and then Ruby turns up to stop him. So the Mitchells, Johnny and Ruby must all see Danny's body (I doubt Jake would have time to bury the body that quickly especially if he's in shock). So, yeah, very confused about who else is involved in burying Danny.


There's a heartbreaking picture with the article (when I get the mags on Tuesday I'll scan them all in). Danny's lying on the ground dead and Jake's just crouching down hugging him and burying his face in Danny's jacket. :crying:

[Tannie]

aw Johnny can't kiill Jakey he's done nothing wrong well apart from kill Danny but he didn't mean it

[Babe14]

I'd much rather see Jake trying to come to terms with what he did, than have a covering up storyline.

No we can't have another cover up storylines, that would be so repetitive.



I'm a little confused about the Mitchells involvement in Danny's death.

I would say Johnny.


Jake finds Danny just about to murder them and shoots him. So they must see Jake do it, and therefore must be involved in covering it up.

Sounds like it and this could be the start of Jake becoming invovled with the Mitchells or rather Phil. Something which I would like to see. This could lead to a bad boy image with a heart for Jake, him going dark


As well as (if the spoilers are all correct) Johnny is either there or arrives soon after to try and murder the Mitchells and Jake, and then Ruby turns up to stop him. So the Mitchells, Johnny and Ruby must all see Danny's body (I doubt Jake would have time to bury the body that quickly especially if he's in shock). So, yeah, very confused about who else is involved in burying Danny.

I would say just Jake and the Mitchells.

And this could lead up to Jake and Ruby becoming like brother/sister.

Awww..poor Jakey. Those gorgeous tears of his will flow again:love: :crying:

One things for certain Danny stuffs up Jake's life again, but this time it's for the final time and Jake will now be free of him, free to move on and hopefully find happiness and have a life without anyone suddenly turning up to ruin things for him..
Finally thanks for all the spoilers/articles your posting:)

[Dutchgirl]

I was surfing the internet yesterday and came across a picture of Danny and Jake, I presume in Scarlett's, Danny looked very smart in his suit and Jake looked so surprised, cannot remember where the picture was, going to see if i can find it!

[BlackKat]

There's a hell of a lot in the mags this week so I decided just to post the scans here that focus on the Jake bits of the week, instead of everything about the Mitchells vs Johnny etc. If you want any of that though just ask. :)

All About Soap also has a preview for the next issue with a picture of Jake (from the week Chrissie was in prison, I think they just picked any photo of Jake looking sad.) With the caption Suicide? Will Jake's guilt become too much to bear? :crying: I'm pretty confident that he isn't actually gonna die, but I can see him trying or at least thinking about it. :( Poor Jakey. *glares at Danny*

[Dutchgirl]

OMG what ecxiting pictures, poor Jake!:(

[BlackKat]

Well it was nice to see Danny so moved at hearing about Nana's death...oh wait. Well, I liked the scene where he apologised for almost getting Jake killed last time he was arou...oh wait. Okay, then I liked the scene where they spent a decent amount of time on them rather than cutting to a boring storyline like Naomi/Soni...oh wait. None of that happpened.

Danny? Still an idiot. Looks to be an idiot right up to his death. Except with the info that he filmed Dennis's death on his phone he might just make the upgrade into sick idiot.

I would comment on the scenes but everytime I started getting into them they cut away to some other crap. Um...the second to last scene with Jake saying he wouldn't be around if Danny was going to self destruct again was very good. As was the scene where Jake was asking how Danny was working for Johnny.

But Danny? "I got bored. So I decided to stab someone and film it and then come back and mess your life up again. Hi Jakey boy!" :angry:

Agree. Agree. Agree

OMG I didn't realise that Danny actually filmed D's death on his phone!

Hopefully this will help Jakey realise that Danny wasn't Danny anymore and what sort of sick psycho he had become.

Comments:

So Danny found himself and decided that he belonged to the dark side where he can happily be a murderer and a sick psycho.

Mess up Jake's life AGAIN, AGAIN!!

Chose a life of darkness and murder over love and loyalty. Stuff you Jake don't care about everything you've done for me..um where do I start..oh I'll just crap all over you.

Hey I'm a "Gangster" now and work for Johnny, that makes me indestructable.

I did like seeing the two of them together again and loved Jakey's comments.

But I am REALLY REALLY going to hate Danny this time and sorry to say he has it all coming to him.

Don't like the idea of Jakey thinking about suicide, but like you said maybe he will feel like ending it all but someone will talk him round by pointing out what a sick psychotic idiot, out of control murdering, waste of space, "unrecognisable" brother Danny had become. Does he really want to waste his life because of the selfish B/d and let Danny win or does he want to live and go on to become stronger and actually have a life, a happier much happier one..

Lovvvvve the piccys.. he is gorgeous.

See his up for sexiest fella in the British Noms!!

[Tannie]

i missed last night as i was out and my dad never recorderd it :angry: :crying: but i'm going to get him to record the omnibus no matter what happens :cheer: :p and i really think danny is sick filming killing someone on you're phone that's really sad!

[BlackKat]

Joel was just on BBC breakfast. Didn't say much that was new, just the general about what happens this week. He did have quite a bit of stubble going on though :wub: ...in fact, just a bit more and it could almost have been classed as a beard. I'm guessing this is for the show, and not just that he forgot to shave. Looked rather sexy, though I don't think a full beard would suit. :searchme: Quite tanned as well.

They also showed a clip of an argument with Johnny over Danny, with Danny there as well. It did mention that Danny isn't well, and he does seem to have completely lost it. As with last time with the fire, I think it depends how they show it whether I'll be left feeling sympathy for someone who's clearly not mentally well and therefore can't really be held accountable, or I just end up wanting him to shut up and die already.

:wub: *Thud* No he can't have a beard it would be terrible, but stubble:love:

So I'm guessing by the fact that Joel has a tan, that Jake may well disappear again after this week and then actually have his own storyline!!

I really hope that with all these new characters coming in that Jake (Joel) isn't pushed to one side. If this does happen and if I were Joel I'd defect to ITV!!

Not sure about this week as I have a feeling it may end up being all Mitchell and Johnny orientated.. still we shall see. (I will wait for the omnibus)

I HATE Him! And don't think that will change, ever since Danny came into the soap he has had a time bomb inside him waiting to go off. Unfortunately it looks as though it is doing already and poor Jakey suffers the consequences ONCE AGAIN.

[Layne]

I don't like the way they are doing this, i am sorry but jake killing danny, he is going to dispose of him then have to live with it remind you of any one else who killed someone and disposed of them then had to live with it (chrissie) where is she now, prision, i don't want jake to go to prison, god i hate ee sometimes!This is going to happen i am just like predicting it i can see it happening

Radio Times Soap and Flannel Review:
You might have hoped that Johnny’s confession to involvement in Dennis’s murder would somehow draw a line under the whole sorry business, bring what daytime talk show hosts call “closure”. Some hope. With guilt gnawing away at his psyche like an eager beaver, Jake’s mental state deteriorates – and it wasn’t all that steely to begin with. Pat’s attempts at intervention hardly pay dividends, as the last remaining Moon sits broken and alone. With Jake looking over her, Ruby, too, walks troubled in the night. Naturally, Stacey, with her heart as big as her earrings, frets for her friend, but with gossip about Ruby’s dad sweeping the Square, mere concern may be no comfort for poor Miss Allen.

Uh. Yeah. My initial thought was (in an exact quote) “Ick!” There may have also been a “Ew,” thrown in. I think it’s in character for Jake to try and find someone else to take care of, and I think it’s believable that, after what he did to Danny, he’d take it too far. My misgivings are, 1) I don’t like Ruby. 2) She’s a 17 year old girl, and there’s a big risk that it could come across the wrong way. The word ‘obsession’ just has all these icky connotations, and while he’s not interested in Ruby in a sexual way there’s a chance it might come across that way. So ‘Ick’.

However, like I said, I think it’s in character and believable, even if I still don’t like it.

I’m also curious about the interview labelling Jake as a “manic depressive.” It seems kinda…early to be labelling him with a mental disorder. I mean obviously he isn’t wired right and I don’t think him (or Danny) have ever been wired right. But…he just shot his brother! Of course he’s going to go nuts. But with psycho Danny, alcoholic abuser Dad, and now “manically depressed” Jake, I’m even more curious as to what the mother was like. ;) They say insanity runs in the family. :p

Ah, well. Parts of it sound good, parts don’t, we can but wait and see.

[diamond1]

typical jakes got all these storylines and im gonna miss the episode where he kills his brother :wall: oh well i pray that i either i catch the omnibus or the ee website puts up a video of their recap section that is actually worthy of watching

[BlackKat]

If you do end up missing it I can type up a transcript for you, :searchme: I know it's not the same as watching it, but you'll know what was said. :) I hope you get the chance to see it.

I'm a bit disappointed with this week so far, but hopefully tonights is good. I think in the next few weeks we're going to see Jake completely lose it, which should be good to watch as well (I know that sounds a bit sadistic, but oh well. :lol: )

[diamond1]

in the end i did get to watch it im really glad i did but thanks for the offer :)

this week has been surprising really dannys rapidly gone worse with his mental state. i didnt quite get the "special bond" he had wth ruby i mean once he let ruby down gently and now he secretley cuddles her when she sleeps and also if he liked ruby as much as he did why didnt he challenge juley he must of been jhonnys henchman around that time and i cant work out why he didnt fight the mitchells back in october either seeing as jhonny was deparate for backup

but i think alot of the credit of friday is down to everyone involved im not a big fan of phil and grant and their superhero approach to all things jhonny allen recentley
but the gun point part was well acted espcially grant looking as if he where going to die .

but as a jake fan i do feel that it was his episode and now ee has an excuse to put him on tv for once although im sure that will change once sonia martin and naomi get back from their week off.

cant wait for next weeks scenes and the rumored attempted suicide week after next although if true it will be supergrant that saves the day-again

[BlackKat]

Fantastic episode on Friday. Well worth sitting through the rest of the week for. I think the Jake & Danny scenes stood out the most, and definitely did the brotherly bond justice. I loved the way that even with Danny gone as far as he'd gone he still had that loyalty to Jake, still wanted to get Dennis back for punching Jake that time, still had their picture up, still tried to phone him. And Danny thinking he had a debt to Jake for saving his life, but Jake being so adament that he didn't. :crying:

And Jake, despite the stupidity in leaving the spade behind, making sure Danny got something resembling a headstone. :crying: :crying:

I hope Phil and Grant are somewhat supportive the next few weeks. I liked them in the woods with Grant not wanting to leave Jake on his own, but then back in the Square they seemed to be acting like Jake was going to be an inconvenience "We're gonna need to keep an eye on him." Geez, he just shot his brother to save your lives!

Jake's line to Ruby also stood out "You don't have to talk to me or even look at me but you have to get in this car because I can't leave you here." So sad.

But my favourite scene was of course the end. Jake washing his hands was heartbreaking. I was so glad Jake got the last scene, and Joel was brilliant. :clap:

Amazing episode, from all sides (apart from Ruby, but I'll ignore her. :p )

[Layne]

I agree with you, Joel was brilliant and the scenes were so sad, especially the last ones, how is he going to cope :(

[Bree]

wow Joels acting was brill last night he was sooooo cute i loved the scene with him and danny when he hit jake i dont like danny but its just the way he said it :p i cant wait till mondays eppie now and see some more of Joel :wub:

[Yorkshire_Rose]

Joel was amazing in last nights episode. The simple action of him washing his hands conveyed his emotions over his actions. Will he be able to get over the fact that once again he has lost someone close to him.

[BlackKat]

I've done some screencaps of Joel on BBC Breakfast. First time doing screencaps so I hope the quality is okay. There's only a few, but I'll also be doing some of Jake's scenes in last weeks episodes.

[diamond1]

last night made me think when danny was saying about dennis punching jake it made me think he did sort of say to dennis back then something like "touch my brother again and you wont be serving spirits you'll be one" i never guessed he was telling the truth

although i really cant understand why danny and jhonny have got into the happy slapping craze all of a sudden not only that they have taken it a step up to knifes and guns.....(bit of humor there)

i really would like to hear jakes comments sometime in the future when he admits to himself what he has done what he thought of danny before he killed him

[Tannie]

i loved last night's episode. he was really good in it.

[Layne]

Joel was on Johnathon Ross's Radio show on saturday by the way, if you go on the website you'll be able to listen again, he was on near the end, i only caught the last few minutes, but it was funny! :p x
Ta for the caps kat! x

[Babe14]

Poor Jakey, Good Riddance Danny and aww how sweet was Grant "You shouldn't be alone right now.." " We'll have to keep an eye on him" I really like Jake and the Mitchells together, also Jake and Ruby. All Jake and Ruby have now is one another and I'm looking forward to hopefully a brother/sister relationship developing. It will be good for Jake to have someone to look out for and feel that it will help him come to terms with things, plus also I think he'll have the Mitchells too. Jake has always cared and in a way looked out for Ruby since she came to the square, well in the beginning anyway. Jake and Ruby need one another.

All in all great viewing towards the end of the week and fantastic acting yet again by the wonderful Joel, he truly is amazing. Also I have to say well done to Jake Maskell also he was very good.

Very sad in the end and it is obvious that Phil is feeling very very bad about everything.

Looking forward to all these storylines coming up involving the lovely and wonderful Joel and especally looking forward to seeing how Jake will cope with it all.

[Babe14]

Forgot to mention I loved the way Jake stood up to Johnny, loved "Action" Jake and I loved the end when Jake said to Johnny "Things didn't work out quite how you expected Johnny.." The anger in his voice and on his face mixed in with all the emotional turmoil that he was experiencing at that very moment, fantastic.

Easties have done it again, made us love Joel EVEN MORE and glad that Danny has finally gone.

[BlackKat]

I felt sorry for Danny in the end. He was just so innocent and he honestly couldn't see any problem with what he'd done, or was going to do. Remember Alfie said to Johnny that Danny was just a kid. He had real mental problems that weren't his fault and Johnny took advantage of that.

I feel most sympathy for Jake of course, but I just felt so sad for both of them. I don't think I've ever hated Johnny more than when I saw Danny's tiny little 'bedroom.' (Also hated Ruby then as she must have know where Danny was sleeping.)

[Dutchgirl]

how sweet was Grant "You shouldn't be alone right now.." " We'll have to keep an eye on him"
Not sure if he meant it to be luvvy duffy, I think that maybe they think Jake could harm them in the future!:cool:

[stacyefc]

i thought jakes face was so cute but i felt so sorry for him

[littlemo]

Not sure if he meant it to be luvvy duffy, I think that maybe they think Jake could harm them in the future!:cool:

I think Grant and Phil genuinely felt sorry for Jake. They know how close brothers can be, Phil almost lost Grant, and he was torn up about it. And they know what happened to Danny must have torn Jake apart as well. You don't get over something like killing your own brother! (not that I would know! lol).

I feel really sorry for Jake!

[BlackKat]

I agree that Phil and Grant will be understanding with Jake and hopefully supportive. However it's also a priority for them to make sure he doesn't go the police.


The interview with Joel in Inside Soap said Jake and Grant were going to become quite close, so we might see a friendship there. :searchme: Especially as Grant is the calmer of the two brothers now.

[Babe14]

Not sure if he meant it to be luvvy duffy, I think that maybe they think Jake could harm them in the future!:cool:

No I disagree. Grant and Phil know that if it wasn't for Jake they both would be dead and maybe Jake too, therefore they OWE Jake. Grant meant that remark in a caring way, that him and Phil were going to look out for Jake and make sure that he doesn't harm himself and be there for him. Remember the Mitchells look out for people who look out for them.

[Babe14]

I agree that Phil and Grant will be understanding with Jake and hopefully supportive. However it's also a priority for them to make sure he doesn't go the police.

By doing that Jake would be the only one to pay the consequences as he was the one who shot Danny and Phil/Grant were the victims this time. I don't think that Phil and Grant are worried about Jake going to the police as they have nothing to worry about for once.



The interview with Joel in Inside Soap said Jake and Grant were going to become quite close, so we might see a friendship there. :searchme: Especially as Grant is the calmer of the two brothers now.

Good that is exactly what I want. At first I thought Phil and Jake but after Phil's recent behaviour I think no. Phil and Grant have reversed their roles, Grant is the calmer now after his therapy sessions in Brazil and Phil is the psychotic one, like Grant used to be. I am pleased that Grant has changed and I really quite like him now, phil used to be my fav but not now. However after this feuding and the people whose lives has been destroyed by it, Jake, Ruby and Sharon being the main ones and all the guilt that he is feeling I am hoping that Phil will once again become calm.

I am so pleased that Jake and the Mitchells may be friends and by the looks of it very good ones. For Jake the Mitchells could become his family and Ruby his "adopted" sister, for Ruby she would have Jake as her Big brother "Figure" and because of her friendship with Stacey the Slaters as her family.

Jake will get through all of this with this kindo f support, especially with the Mitchells being there for him. Jake will have someone to care about still and for the first time in his life Jake will have someone to take care of him.

Hopefully Grant will be around for a very long time.

[Babe14]

I felt sorry for Danny in the end. He was just so innocent and he honestly couldn't see any problem with what he'd done, or was going to do. Remember Alfie said to Johnny that Danny was just a kid. He had real mental problems that weren't his fault and Johnny took advantage of that.

Sorry but I had no sympathy for Danny what so ever, he chose Johnny over Jake and wouldn't listen to Jake. After he told Jake about Dennis and showed him the video on the phone he pulled a gun on his own brother, this lead to Jake attacking and punching Danny one (loved that) then in return Danny hit Jake with the broom handle, he took a picture of Jake lying motionless on the floor whilst doing so he said "You hurt my feelings, I don't like you anymore" So IMO in the end Danny couldn't careless about Jake, only about Johnny and Ruby. Danny wasn't Danny anymore he had become a cold blooded murderer and gone down a very dark road from which there was no return. Not to mention him drugging and groping Ruby. However I do agree that Johnny was partly to blame for this, plus his abusive childhood, but I still have no sympathy for this kind of person. Danny had become unrecognisable, hopefully Jake will realise this, maybe with help from Grant and therefore realise that it wasn't Danny his brother he killed but someone who had become a cold blooded murderer and would of killed him too without giving it a second thought.

[BlackKat]

Lots of Jake in the magazines, I'm scanning them in now. He's wearing a rather nice hoodie/jacket combo. Sorry...I shouldn't be concentrating on his clothes when he's in trauma, but y'know. :lol:

[Babe14]

Thanks Angel, what would we do without you?

Well I'll let you into a secret during all the action last week I was concentrating on Jake's ASSETS (won't go into details!!!)as well as those lovely hands, I am really pleased as their have been some really lovely shots of his hands recently. Also I love his tuffty bits that stick up at the side of his hair on the top. I'm always helping myself to a nice eyeful however traumatic things are for him. Poor baby, I just keep saying come here and I will love you better!!!

It’s also mentioned in the episode guides that Jake is named as Ruby’s new guardian. However in All About Soap it says “Ruby and Jake turn over a new leaf,” for the following episode but in Soaplife “Ruby bites the hand that feeds her,” so I’m not sure if she’s happy about it or not.


Anyway, as I said: hoodie+jacket = yummy.

It sounds like the Mitchells bros are really going to be there for Jake these next few weeks which is good. I’m especially impressed with Grant’s way of snapping Jake out of it. I’m also pleased that it sounds like Jake does decide to go on, but that it’s still acknowledged it’s going to be hard for him. The pics of him beating up Juley look quite scary though – lots of blood. I don’t think we’ve ever seen Jake lose it to that extent, not even over Danny. (Well I guess this is over Danny sort of, but you know what I mean.)

But on the whole just…*hugs Jakey* Poor guy. :(

[Layne]

Thanks for doing those scans honey, awwwwwww poor Jake!! :(

[diamond1]

wow looks like a great week ahead cant wait for the scenes beating up juley looks like psycho jake and more scenes with the mitchells looks good

[BlackKat]

I think we're getting some fantastic Jake scenes at the moment. I'm slightly disappointed we aren't getting more but I think it's a slow build up to next week. Also, while the scenes are great, until something happens they would get repetitive.

Joel is doing brilliant though. Especially as the majority of the scenes have had no dialogue. Liked his and Pat's scene tonight, and his outburst at her, though I think Pat was slightly harsh with telling him to come back to work - something was clearly wrong. He really is completely losing it. :(

Might not be a lot of scenes, but for me they're completely stealing the episodes. :thumbsup:

[Layne]

Joel i think is doing an amazing job, like you say kat, he is doing very well and considering he hasn't much dialogue, the scenes i though when he was just on his own, his hands shaking were quite emotional, i think joel is doing really well!
Poor jakey though ...... :(

[Babe14]

Wow looks like some great Jakey scenes ahead and it looks like he is wearing the "battered" Leather "Swoon" " Faint" "Thud" :wub:
So pleased that Jake and the Mitchells are being thrown together they do look right together in those piccys, especially Jake and Grant in their "Leathers"
Glad that we are going to see yet another side to gorgeous Jake's character and it looks like more fantastic acting from the wonderful Joel.:love:

But awww Jakey I want to cuddle him:crying:

Hopefully Ruby's character will change when Jake becomes her guardian. I think that at first she will reject Jake because of the fact that he killed Danny and obviously to her this is her father all over again. In the end though, prob after Jakey's suicide ?attempt?, thought?, I think they will bond hence "Jake and Ruby turn over a new leaf", because then she will realise that Jake is nothing like her father and just how much pain he is in. In other words Jake done what he did because he had no choice, not because he got a kick out of it.
In away this situ sort of reminds me of the Dennis/Dalton storyline. Dennis was comletely distrort after shooting Dalton.
P.S Thanks again lovely piccys..

typical phil mitchel comment

dont know what night it was but phil was talking to grant after grant rang jake and said something like "dont worry about him ring carla" ha nice one phil i mean its not like he saved your lives or anything i mean he will get over it he only killed someone oh wait not just anyone his brother.babe14 is right this is like dennis/dalton, jake is like dennis grieving and phil is just being the selfish oaf he always was. :wall:

well at least jake and grant will become hopefully mates in the future
and shut phil up.i do hope that this jake thing will carry on abit longer because i dont want a few weeks of jake grieving then we see him next in september

[BlackKat]

I agree with this. I think it's good that he realises he does want to live and go on. But I hope they show there's a difference between wanting to go on and actually being able to. It's a good first step and one he does need to get past but it's still going to be a uphill struggle.

[diamond1]

sadly i heard ruby has some new storylines coming up and so do martin/sonia/naomi so cya next year jake!!

on a serious note though with pat being his "surrogate mum" in the near future soon hopefully he will be an addition to the wicks household because i really find the house he is in completley depressing and unsuited to one single person living there.

also im not sure but isnt the bookies turning into a post office soon??if so maybe jake will find employment in scarlets with new managment or elsewhere....

[Babe14]

Great I love all this character interaction tat Jake is going to have, this is exactly what I want and the people I want him to have interaction with. I have always liked Jake and Pat together and thought that he would fit very nicely into the Wicks fold. Jake would prob become the son that Pat always wanted, Pat the mother Jake always wanted, Grant woud be a very good friend to Jake and vice versa and Ruby would be Jake's "surrogate" sister something I have always liked since that kitchen scene after Ruby was mugged. As for Phil well from reading your post Diamond1 he can Bugger off.
I really hope also that we aren't just going to get another flash in the pan where Jake is concerned and that he WILL get his fair share of the storylines as we were promised, he really is a very interesting and good character and the interactions that are coming up provide some very good and wide scope for some excellent storylines. Hopefully some of these Ruby stroylines will involve Jake along with all these new charaters that are coming into the soap.

[Babe14]

As for Jake working down Scarlets again, I think yes I can see Jake and Grant running the place together, but on the other hand I'm not sure if Jake would want to work out Scarlets again after all the Johnny stuff. Too many bad memories,but there again you never know which way things will swing with Jake and that's the beauty of his character.

oh thanks for telling us i will tune in thank you x

[BlackKat]

I'll be disappointed if we don't get a Jake and Grant friendship. I think that was a great scene tonight in the cafe - Grant's looking out for him, and he wasn't just talking about Ruby when he was saying how Jake did the right thing, and he was there at the right time etc.

The Slaters could have at least said thank you when Jake had explained what was going on. Ruby could have also explained and confirmed he wasn't doing anything wrong. And Stacey could have shut up for two seconds about things that aren't her business.

Pat made up for being, imo, quite harsh on Tuesday's ep. Her and Jake have a nice friendship as well, just wish we could have seen it before now.

Poor Jakey, trying to pretend everything's normal. "It's time to move on," except he can't this time. :( And "Here's to you Danny." :crying: :crying:

[Layne]

Awwwww i think it was dead sad at the beginning when he was drinking :(
And bless he is only looking out for ruby ( Pffffft nasty slaters)
And i think its nice how grant is looking out for Jake!
And pat just stop harrasing him, he donesn't want to talk about it :(

[Babe14]

Aww I'm really looking forward to the omnibus on Sunday as this is when I watch Easties now. Plus this way I kinda of get double spoilers!!

So by the sounds of it I'm going to hate the Slaters and hate Phil even more, never used to. Wouldn't it be great if Grant and Jake started spending a lot of time together not only as mates but in an all round kind of way, confiding in one another, sharing laughs together, working together and hung around a lot together this way Phil';s nose would really be put out of joint and of course there would be fireworks, only this time Grant would be against Phil. So it could be bye bye Phil and Grant and Hello Jakey and Grant!!

[diamond1]

i dont get it, stacey knows ruby sleep walks so when a man in the midde of the night is caught trying to get her safley home she shouted at him.why would charlie continue to shout at jake after he explained what happened what a doughnut!

aw it was well cool when jake and grant where talking in the cafe although i still got visions of grant running down the stairs of scarlets to hit jake and enter jhonnys office but that was then this is now!

i cannot wait for next weeks scenes with the mitchels and jake and oh yeah juley (could this be the possible
exit for juley)

[littlemo]

I don't know why anyone would care about Juley?! It was Phil who planned the whole scam to wind Johnny up. And Juley has apologised for getting involved. It's clear he does actually care about Ruby.

Does Ruby care whether Juley stays or not?! Maybe she doesn't like him, but is it really worth all this grief of getting him out of the square. Despite Phil's involvement, it's really just a 'domestic', something that could easily be sorted out.

:eek: He was paid to have sex with her...and he did. How is that something that can easily be sorted out? How does that not tell you everything about his personality that anyone could possibly need to know. It doesn't matter if he cares about Ruby now. Phil said "Hey, see that girl. I want you to sleep with her to piss her father off and I'm willing to pay you to," and Juley said "Yeah, alright."

[Layne]

Joel Beckett was on this morning this morning! I switched on the telly just in time :p And he was saying that the Mitchells help Jake through it, they become this like consullors (sp) Which i find kind of amusing! And they showed a clip of Jake and Ruby from next week, and it was powerful stuff, but i wish Ruby wouldn't be mean to jake about it (phfffft)

[Rach33]

Ruby's an ungrateful cow I don't like her awwww bless little Jakey

[BlackKat]

Didn't enjoy tonights as much. Mainly because of this "Poor little Ruby" spell everyones fallen under, and now Jake as well. And I know it makes sense, and I know it's in character, but why the hell did it have to be her?? Seriously, Jake, latch onto anyone else to protect, but not her.

She better start changing when Jake becomes her guardian, because if he turns into another in a long line of people protecting the ickle flower and refusing to call her on anything, I won't be responsible for my actions. :angry:

[Layne]

Yeh i am not liking all this 'protect ruby' stuff either, why is she so delciate anyway?!
And stacey mean is fab but why is she being mean to jake, look love he doesn't want to tell you and he is looking out for ruby (god knows why :rolleyes: )so leave him alone!

[Tannie]

Yeah all Jake is doing is looking out for Ruby if he dosn't want to tell people about what happened then just leave him alone for crying out loud! You know the 500 pounds Jake gave Charlie was that out his wages??

[Layne]

yeh it was, Its out of jake own pocket Johnny hasn't given him anything!

[Tannie]

I thought that! That was really sweet of him but how will he be able to afford his bills if he pays £500 pound each month for Ruby's up keep?

[Babe14]

I thought that! That was really sweet of him but how will he be able to afford his bills if he pays £500 pound each month for Ruby's up keep?

I was wondering that and then I suddenly thought perhaps it's the rent that Jakey pays Johnny for the house each month, hence Jake telling Charlie that it was from Johnny for the "Brats" I mean Ruby's upkeep and she'll be getting the same every month..Only seen bits of last nights EE (will be watching the omnibus) but I was so annoyed at Charlie, I mean hello Ruby isn't the only one who is different, hasn't anyone noticed that Jakey is in a real state and not his self??

This is all good viewing and lots more to come, I am angry with Ruby at the mo but in a way I can understand why she is being like she is and I still like the idea of Jake and Ruby as "Surrogate" brother and sister. Although Jakey keeps on having a hard time of it and I want happiness for him I do love the way a lot of drama is centred around the character and if he was happy all the time and everything went his way the character would become dull.

Finally for now, Joel is just amazing.

[Babe14]

One more thing I loved the sweet little smile of satisfaction on Jakey's face after he had given Charlie the 500, he was pleased that he was helping.

8 April 2006
MOON-LIGHT FLIT
Jake cracks up as he almost confesses to murder and then tries to kill himself





http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/m2/apr2006/5/1/00006274-1C96-1435-9C3C0C01AC1BF814.jpg

THERE are those little tell-tale signs that Jake Moon is a killer with a conscience after he bumped off his own brother Danny to save the Mitchells.

He drinks too much and rarely sleeps, he pays Charlie £500 a month for Ruby’s upkeep, and when her ex-boyfriend Juley gets too close, Jake beats him to a such a bloody pulp that Grunt has to drag him off, while Phil tries to patch up an indignant Jules.

‘Save yer exaggerations for the girls,’ Grunt tells the battererd fella. ‘Me an’ ’im ’ave ’ad bigger punch-ups over who’s got the remote.’

Riddled with guilt, Jake then decides to escape the guardianship of the bruvvers and turn himself in to the cops, along with the blood-stained clothes he was wearing on that fateful day. But he even bottles that.

‘You made the right decision,’ Phil says. ‘Whatever the problem is, there’s always another way out.’

This only gives Jake yet another idea. He gets out the booze, plus two bottles of pills and then tries to make his final exit from planet Earth. And this is something more than a Moon-light flit.

‘See how pathetic I am?’ he asks as the bruvvers go into his house on Thursday and bring him round. ‘I ’ ad two things to do today. Turn myself in an’ top myself. An’ I can’t face the reality of either.’

This is all about honour, and the bruvs are willing to stand by Jake out of gratitude. ‘Me an’ Grant were in that hole as good as dead,’ Phil tells him. ‘An’ because of what you did, Ben an’ Courtney ’ave still got dads. You must know that you did the right fing.’

To test Jake’s will to live, Grunt drives his Range Rover at him to see if he will jump out of the way – and he does.

‘Best of three?’ Grunt asks.
