Jake Heaven

I want Jakey to be like he was these last couple of weeks - strong, sensitive, slightly moody side, got a bit of a brutal streak when he needs to. Not saying I don't want him to grow as a a character, but I don't want him to go to either extreme of being a complete bad boy, or a completely goodie.

I want to know where the hell his mother was/is. I think his mother coming back (as she is never mentioned, my theory is that she ran out on the family leaving the boys with their dad) would be a better story than his dad appearing, as that could seem slightly predictable.

I don't want him thrown into a romance straight away once Chrissie leaves, but if one naturally develops that wouldn't bug me too much. I think he needs a few close friends around the square (maybe Dennis?) as now Danny's gone, Alfie's leaving at the end of the year, and Chrissie's going, he may be slightly adrift. So I think they need to start laying down those roots when he comes back, rather than "Now Alfie's gone, he's suddenly BFF with Dennis."

I think he's definitely going to play a part in the outcome of Den's body storyline, so I can't wait to see how. :D

That sounds good to me, I'm really interested in how Jakey's character is going to be developed even further. I too think it would be better to bring the mother into the soap rather than the dad and that way the missing pieces can be filled in as to where she was, did she leave, did the father throw her out, did she have an affair, sleep around, was it after this the father turned to drink and took it all out on the boys?

I'm sorry but I don't want Jakey and Chrissie anymore, I've gone off Chrissie now she is being really nasty to D and Sharon. (Like TAO and think she plays a brill part, it's nice to see a villaness instead of a villan for a change. Would like her to stay in Enders playing this role but not to be together with Jakey) I have a feeling that when Chrissie leaves she may turn round to Jakey and tell him that he was only ever a bit of fun as far as she is concerned. I have my mind set on Jakey and Kat for a future romance. I'd like him to go out with a couple of women before he settles into a new love affair, he could have a brief fling with Dawn Miller (one night stand say) and perhaps a fling with Kat before they get together properley over a period of time.
Be nice if some of his mates were brought into the soap say this Joey who has been mentioned and perhaps the ones from severn sisters who Jakey and Danny spent a drunken few days with, just as every now and thens. I really hope that Jakey and Dennis form a friendship and eventually a trust in one another.

Can't wait to see what kind of relationship he will have the Mitchells either, that is bound to be a very interesting one. Dennis/Jakey v Mitchells..just realised D is similar to Danny in that he acts with his fists, so if D and Jakey were to become best mates they would prob have a similar relationship as Jakey and Danny did when it came to confrontations. Only D is a bit more in control although he does lose it every now and then, as we saw last night. That is what I love abouthim though his hot headedness..

I think if she does it'll only be to push him away so he doesn't get caught up in everything.

I don't like Chrissie manipulating Sharon and Dennis (although really, since Den's death she was constantly manipulating Zoe -- so why is her doing it to Sharon and Dennis any different? :searchme: ) but I don't think she's enjoying it, or getting any pleasure out of it -- she feels she has to do it, to get them away from the Vic.

On Monday she was really worried about Jake - she does care about him. I think if Jake was still there, she wouldn't be going to the extremes she is now - he grounds her. I think losing Jake, the one person who wholeheartedly supported her, has pushed her a little closer to the cliff edge. (Plus its got to suck when your husband 'chooses' his daughter over you, and then your potential...boyfriend I guess, chooses his brother.)

So, yeah, I can't help but love Chrissie, and love Jakissie, despite what Chrissie does. And I hate hate hate Kat (sorry, just my opinion lol) so I don't want her anywhere near Jakey.

I have a feeling I'm going to like Dawn Miller though (although I'll probably be proved wrong and despise her, lol) so at the moment, based on what we've heard about her, I wouldn't be adverse to seeing her in a relationship with Jake.

Okay, just throwing this out there, even though I'm not sure if I agree with it myself:

Do you think Jake has a problem with rescuing people? I don't mean that he likes doing it - more that, he can't help but do it. I mean, he rescues Danny often enough. So do you think the reason Jake is attracted to Chrissie, is more to do with the fact that he sees her as someone needing rescued than it is anything else?

Like I said, not sure if I even agree with it myself and I think even if it is one of the reasons, it's not the entire reason, but it was a thought I had. :searchme:

do you know what I think you may have a point he feels needed by Chrissie it's part of the attraction

Yes, thinking more on it, I think it's a factor in it.

I think it would be an interesting issue to explore -- and a realistic outcome of his childhood, what with most likely raising Danny pretty much by himself, probably having to do a lot of things like making sure there was food in the house for both of them etc, and then carrying on with taking care of Danny into adulthood, that the instinct to take care of people would be there.

Your right something like that will stick in his character for life he is drawn to people who need him without giving much thought to his own needs (i.e going with Danny)

Yep. *nods* I'm also dubious as to whether it'll be Jake who decides it's time for Danny to stand on his own two feet, or whether someone like Alfie or Chrissie will have to push him into it. Last Friday, he knew Danny had crossed the line, but he didn't seem to be blaming Danny for long, he was blaming himself.

To Chrissie: I should have been there for him...and I wasn't. Seen him winding himself up. I wasn't paying attention.

To Johnny: Danny crossed the line tonight, yeah, you're right. And I didn't see it coming, and I should have. So I guess we both messed up.

Yeah he shifted the blame to himself so in a way it made it easier for him to deal with it and Danny and he's spent so long taking the blame and clearing up after Danny that it's become a way of life
