They killed off the joint best character for some reason, and Alfie can't keep the show alive all by himself, which means just one thing, it is time to bring this great guy back
Johnny got worked up during this meeting and went to phone Jake to order him to kill Sean. As he lifted the receiver, he had a massive heart attack, and tried to whisper into the phone "Jake... kill him for me". His cellmate mistakenly claims that Johnny wanted Jake dead. As Ruby prepared to celebrate her 18th birthday in Walford, she sacked Jake for causing trouble between Sean and Johnny. He finally lost patience with her, told her what he thought of her, took some money from the safe at Scarlet and packed his bags. As he walked out of Albert Square for good, he was confronted by a sinister-looking stranger who asked if he was Jake Moon. Jake has not been seen since, and is presumed dead, although this is uncertain.
Not quite up there with the all time great Dennis Rickman but they killed him off aswell so Jake is the best we can hope for
