I watched the BBC3 series (forgot what it's called) on behind the scenes that featured the introduction of Jake and Danny and according to the guy who plays Danny, he was only supposed to be in it for a couple of months and then he was going to be killed off. It would have aligned with Andy's death if that was the case.
Why they chose to pro-long his contract and then axe him seems to have been a slightly odd decision....
Might have something to do with the change of management. I don't know :searchme:
:searchme: :searchme: it's a little fishy :hmm: :angry:
why are they keeping johnny allen in then ? or is it acceptable to throw people off a bridge now ?

save our moon brothers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
johnny allen is a good character and he is proving popular that why he is still in!! but then jake and danny are also good characters and they have been axed. i think it is safe to say that no matter how popular characters are they are never safe i bet there are a few eastendrs actors who are watching their backs now
I remember reading that Danny and Jake were being introduced because of Alfie leaving and then I read that Shane Richie was coming back after his stint away in America, so maybe they decided they didn't need any additional Moons.
Their characters intrigue me - I want to know more!
same here, there is so much mystery in there past and i'd like to know what happened!! :thumbsup:
definately!! we want to know more about their past. there must be stuff concerning them and johnny that we just dont know about
Totally agree they can do so much with them it's pure waste but i would like to thanks Kathleen Hutchison for giving us these two charaters even if they are leaving boo hoo so thanks KH mark one we owe ya
id have liked to have learnt a lot more about their past as well, both to do with johnny and their family when they were younger as i think that it could have led to some interesting storylines. i think ee are making a big mistake in axing them
BIG MISTAKE I've stuck through loads even the really really dirty Den phase but this is the worst decision they've made since bringing the Ferreiras and well we know what happened there
The introduction of the Ferreiras wasn't a bad decision it was the awful writing that made it all go wrong!
Then like we said before instead of changine the cast maybe new scriptwriters will help
I reading the mirror today, they were saying exactly what I said-why have Jake and Danny been axed and not Johnny Allen. They get good characters and then axe them after a very short time. It's absolutely ridiculous, there are so many boring characters in the prog that should go.
Johnny Allen's class, I'd definitely rather see Danny go to that dude, he's like another Spencer Moon. Totally dependant on older brother, stupid and whiny... Jake's s'okay though lol.Quote:

Love Johnny can't not really i mena thanks to him bye bye Andy Rubbish Gangster and the Ferreiras and he can shut Pauline Fowler up for five mins Keep all three of them there all like a breath of fresh air
Save Jake And Danny
i dont want jake and danny to leave there really good and they only came into eastenders.
I'm not really bothered whether Johnny Allen goes or not. My point is why if Ee bosses are concerned about the number of gangsters in the prog why is he not going as well? In my mind it just doesn't make sense.Quote:

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

totally agree with you. id much rather have jake and danny stay than bring back boring phil mitchell
Had a thought, Jake and Danny could have their own series.
It could be called "Jake and Danny on The Run", or "Jake and Danny - Life After The Square" Or "Jake and Danny - Away on Their Toes"
The two characters have so much potential and mystery about them, I.E. Their Past, Parents, "All Sorts Which They Use to Hang Around With" Etc..That a wonderful series could be created. With the Moon Brother's relationship it would be both commical and emotional.
I honestly think that the ratings will slump again, they need fresh and new talent like these two in the show. I really cannot understand where the Producers are coming from. Jake and Danny are not gangsters, they are loveable rogues who do some naughty things from time to time, unlike Phil Mitchell who is a total thug. Maybe that's why the Moon Bros have been booted out because they are not thugs.
I too love Jake, Danny and Alfie together, not forgetting Nana Moon, when the bros arrived it gave Alfie a much needed storyline after Kat's departure. I like the chats that Alfie has with both Jake and Danny, there have been some very tender moments. I really want Chrissie and Jake together they are perfect for one another, (again more storyline/s can be spun off from here once they get together, i.e they both have secrets...)unfortunately due to Jake's departure I guess that it is now only going to be a brief fling.
I too like Mickey, couldn't stand him at first nor his family, but now they make me laugh and I feel sorry for them. They'd better watch out though they could be next on the chopping board!!! Especially if they become too popular!!
:mad: :mad:
My thoughts exactly to get a petiton going or to drop the producers a line, but I don't think it will do any good. They love upsetting the fans.Quote:

i emailed and complained the day the story came out but as yet i still have no reply!!!
I've been uming and ah-ing about doing that myself or suggest that we all drop the producer a line via email like a petition, but to be perfectly honest with you I don't think it will make any difference. JY is as hard as steel with nothing between his ears!!
At best we would get a standard reply saying more or less what has been said on the EE website. The only way to make them listen would be for everyone to switch off until they start being sensible!!
Absolutely Babe14. They only seem to notice viewing figures and if that is the way to go then we should all have a viewing strike. By the way does anyone want to axe Rosie and Keith Miller? I have to go out of the room when they are on. He is the original male chauvinist waste of space and she is the most pathetic victim ever, I think they need axing in the true sense of the word!!
i quite like the new millers.
but their is loads i think that needs to go in ee
Theres another thread on the the miller's. Can't remember where....but i can safely say there are a lot of people who dispise Keith Miller. Alot. Including me. There are alot of juicy opinions on there so check it out (where ever it is! Deffo on the spoilers tho!)
I second that I don't like Keith Miller i feel for him yeah but I don't like him if by doing the storyline about reading and writing is mean t to win public sympathy they chose the wrong character I know it goes on but they could have picked someone we actually liked it's like Ash and his gambling did anyone care NO
Here is the Thread on the Millars
Thanks judejude, but there is also another one on 'Axeing' (i don't know how to put links on, soz) and this is the one that i was talking about. Thanks for helping tho! lol ;) I just read it and it has a good lot of points!
