I am thinking that Jake may not end up with Lauren after Sadie leaves- I am just thinking the age gap is too wide.

He could end up with somebody else on the Square.

Roxy?

Who is going to have the salon? Sadie's only just took over :/

He looks unwashed.

Sharon maybe? If Sharon ends up going into Business with Ian at Scarlett's she will no doubt cross paths with Jake.

It's a sexy image...

As I have said before I can see Roxy with Max next year...

Sharon wouldn't touch that tramp with a barge pole.

Jake is not a tramp, he just rugged and rough around the edges.

oh god, im loving Jake..Love seeing him on screen , he is hot in close ups ..i never really knew him in HO as i don't watch it , but likes him in EE..Love seeing him and Lauren together too lol

He has really bad posture.. with his size/build he could be really strong and hot but he slouches and doesn't hold his head and shoulders high.
Was he like that in Hollyoaks too?

I'd say he isn't a million miles away from Warren in HO, although Jake has more of a conscience than Warren did!!

Jamie can act amazingly given the right script - we saw that in HO.

Sadie is leaving?

Is Jake next for the axe?

I'd put money on it. They are slowly phasing out the Kirkwood/Newman characters.

I hope so = pointless character that shouldn't have had a family brought in - waste of Kate McGowan's ability

Too much of an age gap, Lauren only went with him as a new addiction while she got off the booze. If Joey and Whitney hadn't slept together then Joey and Lauren would have got back together - which is more believeable and could have had great potential

I've tried seeing Jamie as Jake but I just can't! He'll always be warren fox to me.

I think Jamie might have already filmed his final scenes.

No news from DTC but its a shame as Kate and Jamie are good Actors.

I wish they would phase out FatBoy and Dexter!

Jamie Lomas is in LA at the moment - he might have already filmed his final scenes already. I cannot see Jake staying in the show when Sadie leaves. He and Lauren won't last in their relationship IMO.

That sums it up then- he has probably left but no news from DTC as I said.

So their house will be up for grabs.

I'd love David to buy it and provide a nice, peaceful home for Carol. It's time she got away from Bianca & co. Terry can then move in with Bianca.

Hopefully in a taxi leaving Walford forever.

That would be a good idea.
