Jake Moon's Guide to Cracking Up: His Top Tips and Handy Advice
What do you think? Best-seller? :p
LOL! Lovely write up I hope that it really is going to be as good as it sounds, I don't think I dare wait until Sunday to watch next weeks Easties, cos knowing my luck my TV or something will blow up!! At least if something goes worng during the week you have three chances!!
Poor baby though, I can just see him sat alone in that dark gloomy house with the vodka and pills and start popping them one by one..then laying there motinless when suddenly there is an almighty crash and in comes Grant followed by Phil. Grant goes over to Jakey and starts shouting at him and slapping him and then yelling to Phil to grab hold of his other arm and the Mitchells walking Jakey round the room, slowly Jake starts to come round..but they need to get the pills out of him, so Grant tells Phil to go and make up a large solution of salt water as Phil goes into the kitchen, Grant brings Jake in and the brothers start pouring the salt water down Jakey's throat, as he starts to heave, the brothers drag him over to the sink where he throws up...
(Sorry going off on one again - your fault BK):lol:
On DS there is a piccy of Jake unconscious on his sofa after downing two bottles of vodka and this is how the Mitchell Brothers find him.
Also: Ruby witnesses Jakey beating Juley up (scary piccy on DS) and runs back to the Slaters.
Juley spots that Ruby isn't looking too good and decides to offer her a shoulder to cry on. Jake doesn't take too kindly to this and floors him. How will Ruby react to even more violence?
Rubys is furious when she learns that Charlie has been taking money from Jake for her keep.:angry:
Now let me see reasons for Jakey not wanting to go on
Apart from the fact that he has just shot his brother, there is Ruby's treatment of him, Stacey's and the Slaters. So um..talk about kicking a man when he is really down :angry:
Here's The Sun's write up: :D
Guilt-stricken Jake is so disturbed by murdering his brother he wants to confess all to the cops or top himself – until the Mitchell brothers come to the rescue with a remarkable kind of therapy.
Grant reverses his Range Rover towards Jake at high speed to find out whether he really wants to die.
“Jake steps out of the way at the last minute,” says Joel Beckett, who plays him. “And proves to himself he really wants to live.”
Jake’s in shock after Danny’s death. He staggers around in a daze of depression fuelled by drink.
“He can’t eat or sleep,” says Joel. “He is a mess. He wants to protect Ruby, but she hates him.”
When Jake sees Juley trying to comfort Ruby, he wades in and attacks him. “Jake is really vicious, until Grant drags him off,” says Joel.
Jake heads off to confess to the police about killing Danny, but can’t go through with it.
Grant and Phil find Jake drinking and threatening to kill himself, so they take him for a drive.
Grant tests Jake’s suicidal tendencies by asking him to stand in the middle of the road and then driving straight at him.
“After he gets out of the way, Jake breaks down in tears,” says Joel. “He knows he has to go on.
“Grant takes him back home. There’s a sort of friendship beginning between the two men.”
It does sound like a fab week.
Wow I can't wait.
Now I've been thinking AGAIN and this happiness that Jake is supposed to be getting I reckon could be when Ruby asks him to be her guardian. My reasons for this is that when Ruby snaps out of her shock and realises just what Jake is going through and that he is not JOHNNY (whose fault all this is anyway) they will have a heart to heart and she'll realise just what a lovely fella Jakey is and will make him happy by asking Jake to be her guardian. He'll have someone to look after again. This time though he'll have someone looking out for him too the Mitchell boys, esp. Grant and also hopefully Pat and the Wicks clan will take him in hand too and I'm hoping that all this will be the start of a happy time for Jakey of course with lots of drama.
I'm hoping that Grant will be sticking around he'll be good for Jake, they will work well together. When someone saves someones life, here we have Jake saving Grants life and Grant saving Jake's, clean slate, more often than not a very close and loyal friendship develops shortly afterwards.
Have you noticed that "they" are making us love Jake more and more, if that's at all poss. and even putting the Mitchells back in our good books!!
I've noticed that for once all the mags, write ups and even the tabloids are writing the same stuff which makes a change..
I don't think Ruby does ask Jake - it might be Johnny that decides that. The episode where she gets angry about Charlie accepting Jake's money is the episode after Jake gets named as her guardian. The episode she gets angry is also the one one of the mags had the snippet of "Jake and Ruby turn over a new leaf." I'm thinking she's not happy at first, and even less happy about the money, but then she goes to confront Jake but they end up sorting things out, hence the "turning over a new leaf."
The Radio Times description for the eppy say Ruby also makes a decision about the future of the club -- whether she sells it or keeps it, I don't know. :searchme:
To be honest, I'm not convinced that Jake having guardianship of Ruby is a good thing for him. In the short-term it is, he'll have something to keep him going and for him to focus on. He's less likely to backslide back into depression if he feels he "has" to stay around and take care of Ruby. However, long-term, he has to get out of this thing of looking after people. It's not healthy at all.
I think a Grant and Jake friendship has huge potential. Like you said, there's almost a ready made bond solely from the fact that they've saved each others lives -- even if Jake would have survived the overdose even without the Mitchells intervention, by driving the car at him and proving that Jake does want to live, Grant is essentially saving his life.Quote:

With Jake I think it is a defo a case of him having to have someone to look after it is his security, safety net. With Danny gone now I think part of the problem is that he is panicking as he has no one to look after hence the reason he is focusing on Ruby, he prob sees her as his security/safety net.
The reason I can see why Jake has to have someone to look after is because of his "unloved" childhood he needs someone to cling to. (What he really needs is a loving girlfriend.)
Personally I think it is sweet how Jake likes to care for people but he has to remember to care for himself too and have a life of his own. With Ruby I don't want it to be a Danny repetition, just a healthy normal bruv/sis relationship.
Ruby is annoying me right now especially after the sleepwalking incident, mean exactly what did Jake do wrong? Loved the way he was telling Grant all about it in the caf and loved Grant's reassuring words. He needs Grant, Jake needs someone to talk to. I think Grant could help Jake to be "less" caring for other people and take care of himself more.
Now I watched the omnibus yesterday and have seen exactly what happened last week. If Jake was to become Ruby's guardian, then she would prob move in with him which would solve Jake's financial situation. The way I see it at the mo is that Jake has no income as he has given all his wages, 500.00 (which won't get you very far anyway espec. in London) and will be continuing to to Ruby, which means zero income for Jake. Now with Ruby living with him he wouldn't need to give her the money as he would be buying food etc for her and in return she could help around the house and cook for him.
The only other source of income I can see Jakey having at the mo is from the stall which Deano (Who I now find very annoying along with Dawn) is supposed to be running. Still Jakey is very good at living on fresh air, remember when he came back to the Square after the "Danny/Jake exit" No money, no job but lots of lovely new clothes, same when he lost Chrissie's bail money!!!
Obviously Jake isn't thinking straight at the mo, so maybe when he starts to come round things will change and he'll start being a bit more sensible about things.
Joel of course was absolutely amazing last week and think is going to be even more so this week. Bless, he is so adorable.
Now I know Jake is traumatised right now but god there were some really sexy and lovely shots of him. I liked the kitchen one with Pat he looked lovely and his hair was sort of spiked again and I loved that top from the way the shot was taken it almost looked as though Jakey was topless....
i cant understand it the mitchells save jake from suicide?
what about saint sonia surely if she can bore us with her 5 minute speech about JACK THE WAR HERO who appeared in the pub once ot twice a year in 2004 and then in 2005 gave us her "mum of the year who was hard done by so she gave it up for adoption and didnt stop moaning about it only to marry her finacees killer only to get little rebecca back and then finally turn into a lesbian" award -then perhaps she could do her nurse bit and help out. im only saying this because with the amount of screen time she gets if jake was in half those scenes then he would be a central character.
going back yeah i like the grant/jake friendship its gonna be good only wish dawn and jake would have that realtionshop and that would be good, think about it dawn nursing a depressed jake back to mental health at pats house and when thats happened then one day on a saturday afternoon best buddy grant bringing round the beers to watch the world cup with phil minty and the others coming round with the pizza's.
oh wait this is eastenders.....sorry thats NEVER gonna happen.
this protection thing of ruby wont last long if it does then for jakes sake suicide IS the answer
The magazines also make it sound like it’s a case of redemption for Jake – he feels like he failed in keeping Danny safe, which is what he’s being doing all his life. He also “failed” to “save” Chrissie. So I think he’s thinking that if he can look after Ruby and do it right this time it’ll somehow make up for having failed before. I mean, obviously that’s crazy because Danny and Chrissie were responsible for their own actions (Chrissie more than Danny of course) and Jake did the best he could be expected to, especially in Danny’s case. Not to mention putting the pressure of needing forgiveness from Ruby onto Ruby’s shoulders, when Ruby had nothing to do with Jake&Danny, is unfair on her (can’t believe I’m on Ruby’s side for once.) But, like you say, Jake isn’t exactly thinking straight at the minute.Quote:

I think Jake got a grand in wages, and only gave half for Ruby. So he does still have some money left over, but like you said, it probably won’t get him very far. I’m guessing he’s not paying rent right now, which I suppose is a plus.Quote:
