Eastenders: Should Jake Moon return or be referenced?
DTC has been bringing characters back, referencing the past a lot (most notably the Dennis reveal in January) but there is a mystery that still needs resolving - is Jake Moon alive or dead? Could he have paid off the gangsters that confronted him with the bag of money he was carrying at the time? Or did he meet a grisly end? Should he return or should Alfie mention him? Jake was a good character played by a great actor, personally I wouldn't say no to a return at some point!

I think they should conclude the storyline. There is no reason why they couldn't do so, considering Alfie is on the show still. Even if he's only mentioned briefly, it would still be good to see Jake's story concluded.

Be referenced? Yes.
Return? Not unless he's bringing Chrissie Watts back with him. |

Does Alfie even know Danny Moon is dead?
Alfie's been seen with local Jake Stone, does he not remember he has a cousin called Jake too? Does Sharon even know Danny Moon killed Dennis? I think its time to bring back Ruby too, as a gangster villain and carry on where Johnny left off! |

We really are owed a couple of 2 handers would love a couple between Sharon and Kat referencing so much that's not been mentioned that should be. A Couple 2handers between Kat and Alfie, Kat Alfie and Ronnie, 3 hander between Sharon Shirley and phil. Of course and I would get tony Jordan and Sarah phelps back to write them. Over a number of weeks. DTC needs to get his finger out of his ear more make some phone calls yea it's great what he's done so far but still a lot to be done he's pushing it 😠 Bring back Kathleen Hutchison lol she in her short time helped knock it into some shape firings axings making them work faster harder rewrites.

Jake's fate at least should have been cleared up when Alfie returned, but unfortunately Berkwood preferred to suspend reality and introduce different cousins instead. |

Phil and Grant know that Danny killed Dennis, whether Sharon knows remains to be seen. They might have decided it wouldn't do any good. They also know that Jake Moon killed Danny and buried him in a shallow grave, but again, I don't think Alfie knows.

Yes I would like to see him back- probably the strongest Moon the show had.

I really liked Jake Moon too and see no reason why he can't come back if they'd like him to. He was only seen being taken away by one of Johnny's hitmen and I think it's more than plausible that he could have overpowered him and then fled the country. With Alfie still there at least there's some sort of ties for Jake if he was to return although I'm not confident it'll ever happen. I liked Jake though and whether it's a bad or good outcome it'd be worthwhile to see his fate resolved.

This is an interesting thread - the conclusion to Jake's story could still be in the offing and pipeline to come out at some point as with the Dennis reveal - where Sharon only finding out the truth from Phil about Dennis, like 7 or 8 years later. There could be a similar thing going on with Jake Moon (and the Chrissie Watts aspect) with it still being worked on, written and devised by DTC to come out at some point. Either this is the case - or that TPTB have made the cardinal soap error of forgetting this particular storyline's loose ends. Am still thinking that it will all come out at some point, though - courtesy of DTC, just still not too sure when - though it'll probably not be imminently - it could still be a while down the line with Alfie (with him not knowing that Danny is dead - although he surely must already know this, one would argue & say). Very hopefully, all of this is soon still to come at some point & that it will be revealed properly to the audience & surely very soon now though, anyway.

I don't think Alfie should necessarily be assuming that Danny is dead on the basis that he hasn't heard from him. If he had to pick, Danny would be the cousin that he was least keen on (except maybe Michael if he's honest with himself, after all the trouble he caused) since he was the reason for the prison sentence that Alfie served prior to his arrival in Walford. As far as Alfie knows, Danny is out of the country because of the trouble with Johnny Allen. Stacey doesn't talk about Ruby and he and Phil/Sharon were never going to sit down for a gossip, even when Phil liked him. For all Alfie knows, Johnny could still be alive.

I think it's unlikely this story will ever be wrapped up. It's been eight years since we saw Jake, and we still have no idea if he's even alive. It was heavily implied he was about to be killed, so I think it's safe to assume he is dead.
Also, does Sharon even know Johnny Allen is dead? Does she know it was Danny Moon who stabbed Dennis? When she left Walford in 2006 Sharon told Phil that Johnny 'has to pay' for killing Dennis, yet it's never been mentioned since.
