found this in todays sun
EASTENDERS heart-throb Jake Moon will be killed off — by MISTAKE, we can reveal.
Jake, played by Joel Beckett, is the victim of a gangland hit from jailed mobster Johnny Allen — despite reports that a door would be left open for his return to the BBC1 soap.
But his murder turns out to be a case of mistaken identity. Johnny (Billy Murray) actually orders the hit on Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky) — his daughter Ruby’s money-grabbing boyfriend.
A show source said: “Johnny is fed up with hearing tales about Sean manipulating Ruby and trying to get her cash.
“But because he’s behind bars for murder, there’s not much that he can do.
“So he gets Jake to bring Sean to meet him in prison.
“And he dislikes him instantly as Sean really winds him up.”
Johnny makes a call to an underworld killer to get Sean out of the picture, so to speak. But the hitman needs glasses — as he kills Jake instead.
The scenes will be shown at the end of the month.
However, the murder will NOT be seen on screen as it is before the watershed.
The insider said: “This isn’t a Dirty Den-style death. It will be made clear that Jake’s dead and not coming back.”

I would prefer if Ruby and Sean were also killed
yeah.. kill all three of them.. their story is pointless and it just SJ and Minty in reverse.. this time Ruby is the stupid "my boyfriend loves me for me and not my money" Sean is the money grabbing git and Jake plays the Gary role in all this.. he sees it all but can't convince ruby

:angry: i think its wrong that they are getting rid of johnny allen for good and jake these sort of people (gansta type) are what keeps the show exciting what are they thinking?
This before the watershed is stupid for not showing Jake's murder, as there have been far worse things in enders lately, re: The Owen/Denise storyline where he beat her. The recent kidnap where Owen tried to gas himself and Libby in a car and then he tried to drown both himself and her in the river!
Jake looks nothing like Dorky Sean, another pathetic exit from Enders.
However this may not be true as I have also read and posted In the Jake Heaven thread that Ruby changes the locks on Scarlets doors as she is scared that Jake will come back, unless of course she doesn't hear about Jake's death which will be stupid considering everyone is bound to be mentioning it epsec Sean Slater.
Looking at it from another angle it would be rather ironic for Jake to leave this way, Johnny being responsible for Jake's death after everything which has happened, plus Jake shooting his brother Danny. There would be a happy twist on all of this and that is that Jake would be reunited with his brother Danny and Nanna Moon of course.:)
Jake has never been a gangster just a "bad boy" with a heart, not to mention a victim of Eastenders itself.
If true then I hope that it was the actor's decision to have the character killed off, as it was Nigel's to have Denis Killed off. This is the same scenareo Door being left open then later announced that the character is to be killed off. Plus it is obvious that they are now killing all the heartthrobs off who have made the decision to leave, you watch Grant will be next and hopefully Sean the Dork won't be far behind.
Just realised this is more or less the same way which we saw Paul Trueman leave, he was killed off screen too, only difference being he knew he was going to be killed. To be honest I think I prefer people to be killed off screen it is better.:)
Jake could still return in the future, as could Paul Tureman, as killing someone off screen can still leave the door open and the character can easily be brought back, not that Joel would want to return to the Soap. Even Shane Richie is turning his back on them now, says it all:)

Not sure if it belongs here. But is does lead to Jake leaving.
SEAN TO BE WILD
Scheming Sean Slater fights with Jake over rich girl Ruby
By Tony Stewart
NORMALLY, when things go bump in the night in Albert Square, it’s Fat Pat falling out of bed and causing a mini earthquake. But this time there is something much more sinister afoot involving Jake Moon.
http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/m2/oct2006/2/2/18A031EA-DBB5-4CEC-498F7F7AAEE9C893.jpg
For he is the only thing standing between scheming Sean Slater and drippy Ruby, the nightclub, and her jailed dad’s riches.
But spooking Jake by secretly breaking into his house, moving things about and putting pillows in the late Nana’s bed isn’t going to drive Jake out of Walford. Although it does get him angry enough to attack Sean in the Vic.
In the grand tradition of womanising bad boys such as Steve Owen and Dennis Rickman, Sean is as good-looking as he is arrogant and evil. But the besotted Ruby warns him that Jake is one ticket short of a raffle. ‘You’ve got to be so careful of him,’ she reveals. ‘He’s a killer. I was there…’
Discovering that Jake bumped off his brother Danny doesn’t impress an ex-squaddie who fought in Iraq. If anything, he uses it as a lever to try and get rid of Jake. But as Jake has promised dad Johnny that he’d protect his precious daughter, he certainly isn’t going to let Sean intimidate him, even when he jumps him in his own living room.
But offering Sean a bribe to leave doesn’t work.
‘You think I’m in this for 15 grand?’ Sean sneers. ‘You think I’d put up with that stupid, spoilt little girl for 15K? I want it all, Jake…You’ve lost her, mate. She’s all mine now.’
Johnny might have something to say about that. Uh-oh.
Mirror, soapbox.

for a gangsta's daughter whose been through a hella lot and does well in school Ruby's not so bright is she. Plus she has no sense of loyalty telling sean all of jake's secrets...she deserves anything coming to her.
Jake can't die! Why is it that EE always have to kill the best characters? Even evil ones like Den, I mean he's a soap legend but they still killed him. Maybe the script-writers and producers are from a parallel universe and they think everyone hates the favourite characters and love the rubbish ones!

It is a sad exit for him and one which he doesn't deserve,personally I wanted a happy exit for him. However I will be happy with this as I wouldn't want Jake to return as he has been wasted in the soap and as I have said many times another "Victim" Apart from this I think the actor Joel Beckett deserves far better and hope that he will go on to be a great success now he has left the soap.
Why are they killing of Jake? i never expected that. i thought something was going to happen between him and ruby. damn them. why johnny aswell, thats 2 much. we need someone to sort out sean. who's going 2 do it now?

Yes, you should, maybe I will too!! Maybe Johnny thought he was talking to Jake on the dog and bone !! I dont want Johnny to die !!! Maybe its all a con so he can come back in years time :lol: :lol:
I think its either 37 or 38 more posts to go till Shoutbox Heaven !
Whilst Johnny is having a heart attack he points to the phone and says with his dying breath "Jake..Murder..him" which becomes misunderstood as what he is really trying to say is "Jake murder Sean"
Apparently Jake bumps into the two guys who are hired to kill him outside of Scarlets whilst he is leaving and they ask if he is Jake Moon and he realises that he is in trouble
It could of been made where he said "no sorry mate, I'm Sean Slater, he's in there (pointing to Scarlets) you'll find him in the office.." Then we could of had Jake walking away smiling to himself thinking that Sean is going to be killed.. by the time the henchmen realised that Jake was lying he could of disppeared into thin air being no where insight. That would of been a much better ending for him.:) (IMO)

Well shake my flip flop !!
Thats awful, but surely Johnny must have know he was not talking to Jake on the phone ?

:rotfl: And there's Pauline's coming up and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they killed off Joe, Martin and Sonia even though they have said the door will be left open and the character won't be killed off. Yeah right, :rolleyes: like we haven't heard that one before:) Hopefully the Brat Ruby will be killed off next month and I can't wait until Sean the Dork gets that evil smug grin wiped right off his face when Ruby gives all her money to charityguaranteed he won't be a happy chappie!
Yes it's a sad week in soap land this week and not just in Easites either:( Just glad that Vincent is back tonight with the lovely Sexy Ray Winstone to put a smile on my face):lol: :o

Yeah it is going to be a sad week in eastenders but how excatley does Johnny get the names mixed up? Sean Slater and Jake Moon do not excatley sound the same do they?:o well not to me aw poor Jake it should be Sean getting killed not him:rolleyes: :p but as it's eastenders nothing really goes to plan in good old eastenders:rolleyes: :cool:

Plus as we know Joel(Jake) has left Easties now, whereas Dork isn't leaving. Is it me or do Jake and Sean have different colour hair?:rolleyes: Also events leading up to the heart attack are in Johnny's cell with his cell mate and I think that they are making arrangements and before Johnny can tell his cell mate who he wants killed he collapses with this heart attack which leads upto those fatal words. From what I can gather Johnny doesn't mention Sean at all he just points to a cellphone and says Jake murder him!, so the only name the cell mate or whoever is making these arrangements hears is Jake's. To me there are a few loop holes in this storyline and things could of been done differently, it's not the ending I wanted to see for Jake. I think the reason why they are killing both Jake/Johnny off is to complete the end of that era, Jake/Danny/Johnny who roughly all arrived at the same time in the soap, so that they can continue with this so called "New" enders. I suspect that Ruby may be killed off too.
Mean where are all these people that Jake has helped in the past, Phil Mitchell for example? Where are they now that Jake is in trouble and needs help?:rolleyes:

I will gladly pay of the coffin for Sean Slater and will gladly commit murder with you for him.
Joel is rather lovely, however what next for him as an actor ? The Bill ?
5 posts left to go before the big 500 and shoutbox heaven !!

Joel has already done the Bill, I'm hoping he will get a contract with ITV1 for one of their dramas which would hopefully lead to others. Mean most of the actors/actresses who have left Easties have done an ITV drama and been very successful i.e Ross Kemp, Martin Kemp (Steve Owen) , Tamsin Outhwaite (Also BBC), Michelle Collins and I could go on. But it's what Joel wants at the end of the day:) I haven't heard anything about what he is up to, I expect he may be onhis hols getting that lovely tan of his.
Go for it you can do it:thumbsup:

Considering Joel came from The Office he is a very bad actor.
I'm thrilled EastEnders will now be free of that awful Moon brand.:cheer:

I might sign him up for the drama series I have approached the BBC with as a scriptwriter! Its called "Summertree".
Anyway about this thread it is a shame that Jake is leaving because he was a good actor and if in the year 2012 Alfie decides to come back it will be a shock to find Danny and Jake both dead !
My final post to 500 !! I am actually crying !! Its been a hard struggle but thank-you all !

Sorry I am signing him up for ALL my dramas, so unfortunately he won't have the time to do your drama series.:p :)
Of course we could do a bit of negotiation:D
Anyway about this thread it is a shame that Jake is leaving because he was a good actor[/quote]
Joel is a wonderful actor and he portrayed the character of Jake Moon beautifully, just a shame he was given a lot of naff scripts with the odd exception. Joel does emotion wonderfully he can do a string of emotions in one episode as we have seen. He will go on to be a success now he is free of Eastenders where he was used incorrectly, he is very popular and has a huge fan base.
Personally I loved the Moons and IMO one of the best families Eastenders have had.
My final post to 500 !! I am actually crying !! Its been a hard struggle but thank-you all ! :crying:
Well done!:D

Yes Joel was wasted In enders he needn't of been as he had huge potential and is very talented. Still we maybe about to lose "Jake" but we still have the lovely Joel:)
As for Ruby she has been axed and is due to leave next month which is really what all this storyline is about, the brat is resposible for Jake being killed:crying: but she is about to get hers as is the Dork:D

I'm hoping that she will be killed off, obviously if she was then it would be Sean Slater and it would tie in with upcoming events. she gives all her money away to charity IMO.
I don't know how she will actually leave if I find anything out I'll let you know:)

I can understand how the mistake happens.
When Johnny collapsed he gaspe "Jake, kill him" meraningof course "Jake,kill Sean".
But thewords have a double meaning. It could mean aking Jake to kill someone (Sean) or it could mean askingsomeone else to kill Jake.
So, maybe someone elsehears the messageand misunderstands though the message was intended for Jake.
Just a thought...
Mr Humphries
20-10-2006, 08:27
I didn't think he had even dialled the number to be honest, so I think his cell mate sorts out the hitman, and Jake gets done !

I don't think sean's going to be rather pleased that Johnny has changed his will as he was looking forward to Ruby turning 18 and getting the house, the money and the club... so it shall be a big shock for him ofcourse.:p He Deserves it in a way althrough i do like Ruby. I also think Johnny's just picked up the phone when he has the heartattack and instead of saying "jake kill sean" he says "jake, kill him" him could mean either Jake or anyone else but then i think the cellmate how i think organises the hitman tell him to kill Jake instead of Kill Sean so that is how poor Jakey loses his life all becaues Johnny Allen had a heart attack and the cell mate told the Hitman the wrong man to kill!!!

AHA! it makes sense now lol :D
really?! wonder how sean takes that lol :D
he proposes to Ruby.. well not exactly, he wants ruby to think all is well but ruby says she needs time and he leaves his bag in the club. Ruby take a look and finds his clothes and a ring. She asks him and he said he was going to propose but her dad dying wasn't the right time, she takes him back and then they go to solicitor and Johnny has written a few conditions in the will that shock them both
