Jake Heaven

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

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.

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.

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.

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

HEY JAKE/DANNY LOVERS,, CHECK THIS OUT:


Feb.24,2006

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

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.

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

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:
