EastEnders has revealed Jake Moon\u2019s dramatic return story<\/a>, as he comes back to Walford next week for a very important reason. Actor Joel Beckett made a cameo appearance in September 2024<\/a>, after his original exit back in 2006. Now, he is reprising his iconic role for a short and dramatic stint\u2026<\/p>\n

Jake headed into the sunset with former flame Chrissie Watts when she was released from prison. But at Christmas, it seemed that Chrissie was ignoring Jake\u2019s texts as she pushed forward with her revenge plot against Zoe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next week, Jake requests a prison visit with Zoe, who has been charged with the murder of Anthony on Christmas Day – though viewers know that it is Zoe\u2019s daughter Jasmine who was responsible<\/a> for killing her dad.<\/p>\n

The pair come face to face at the prison, where Jake has some big news about Zoe\u2019s nemesis Chrissie\u2026<\/p>\n

“Jake reveals that he and Chrissie have split up because of her twisted revenge plot,” says our EastEnders insider. “He has got in contact to find out once and for all what happened at Christmas – and he is left stunned by Zoe\u2019s account of events.”<\/p>\n

He decides to walk away from Chrissie for good, but Zoe is desperate for his help to prove her innocence and get her out of prison. Jake firmly refuses and leaves, so Kat and Vicki join forces<\/a> to track him down.<\/p>\n

Desperate for answers, Kat and Vicki start rifling through Jake\u2019s belongings, but he returns and catches them in the act! Jake is shocked, but Kat manages to convince him to come back to Walford with them and visit Alfie.<\/p>\n

“Alfie thought that his cousin Jake was dead,” recalls our source, “so he is blown away when Kat returns home with a surprise for him, and he reunites with his long-lost relative. With some emotional scenes ahead, Jake agrees to stay the night at the pub.” <\/p>\n

As Jake gets reacquainted with Albert Square, he comes face to face with Phil and attempts to finally lay the ghosts of his past to rest, including his late brother Danny.<\/p>\n

Phil has some wise words for Jake and encourages him to do right by Kat and Alfie, so Jake eventually agrees to send Chrissie a message to lure her back to Walford. Jake and Kat wait together to see if Chrissie arrives – but will she turn up?<\/p>\n
