The acting his done this week is a far cry from The Office and the scenes he was in it that. I mean he did some amazing scenes with Danny on the flyover but this Thursday he really took my breath away with the scenes with Danny outside the house. He's really prooved himself. I just hope he'll be back soon...9 weeks is too long!
I thought he was good when he was breaking out of the car, I loved that roll/fall on the ground. I especailly loved the way Jake stood up to Johnny and the end when he told Johnny to shoot them or don't shoot them it was up to him. I just can't get over how amazing Joel is. It's going to be very dull and quiet without him. I'm currently watching the re-runs of the office on UKGold and I have to say I prefer Joel as Jake, much more challenging for him and of course a chance to show his true potential, which he has done in this exit storyline.
I've been watching The Office re runs too. - I've got to agree about Action Jake although when he fell out the car it looked painful! The scenes where he was trying to break out the car were amazing though.
I dont get how people can say he is a wooden actor

Well if he was he certainly isn't anymore! I can understand him being wooden at the beginning. Everyone is if they are a relativly new actor and they just started on 'Enders. It's a big shock but he's well and truly settled in now!
It takes time for an actor/actress to get into character, look at the old epis of Easties and you'll see what I mean. Adam Woodyatt(Ian), Leslie Grantham (Den) all seemed very plasticy then although at the time we didn't really notice and they are brill actors. Even the most experienced actor/actresses can be wooden at times, they are only human and are entitled to off days just like we are. Joel has been totally amazing this week and in that end scene when Jake was fronting Johnny Joel was doing a very mixed bag of emotions in just one scene, emotional, fear, anger, desperation..
The writers have done a wonderful job too lately. I get the impression that most of the attention has been deliberately focused on Jake on his emotions, so that we have been left wanting more of him. Whereas Danny I think they have totally destroyed the character so that we won't miss him and want him to go. Also I think things have been done this way so that we will accept Jakey without Danny upon his return, I prefer Jakey on his own it works well. We have been made to feel sorry for Jake as he is the one who has bore the brunt of it all. Danny has been a victim too from the abuse he suffered as a child, it has left him scared and unable to move on, whereas Jake it has made him very strong and he can move on but not 100% because he has to look after Danny. We have been shown both sides of what can happen after being abused as a child it can either leave you psycologically scared or make you a stronger person.
Jake has to now face up to the extent of Danny's "Illness" and do the right thing for both their sakes.
After seeing how strong Jake is this week and the way in which he fronted out Johnny I'm sure that he could front out the Mitchells. Afterall they are just like Johnny at the end of the day "Thugs" and "Full of It" One uses a gun and takes your life the other uses fists and almost takes your life...
There is absolutely no doubt about it. Joel may be a bit out of chaacter after his break, as others have been, but once he gets going again he will just go from amazing to truely amazing to truely fantastic.:) I can see him being very central in Easties.Quote:

Oh, and the quote is nicked from Buffy (originally said about Spike by BuffyBot), because it was funny and I thought it fit.
I like it it's good, the quality isn't crap, well I don't think so anyway. It's lovely thanks:)
The quote goes well.Quote:
