Jacob "Jake" Moon is a fictional character from the British soap opera EastEnders, played by Joel Beckett. Jake appears in the show in episodes originally broadcast in the United Kingdom between 30 December 2004 and 20 October 2006. His casting was announced by executive producer Kathleen Hutchison on 20 October 2004. Jake is introduced alongside younger brother Danny Moon (Jake Maskall) and upon his arrival was described as "the sensitive brother who had an eye for the ladies", while Beckett expressed his happiness at joining the show. In March 2005, Beckett and Maskall were axed but Jake was reintroduced to the show later in the year.
Jake and Danny are cousins of established character Alfie Moon (Shane Richie). Jake is involved in several major storylines, including his strained relationship with Danny, relationships with murderer Chrissie Watts (Tracy Ann Oberman) and Carly Wicks (Kellie Shirley), various criminal schemes and making several enemies. On 7 May 2006 Beckett announced that he was quitting the show and departed on 20 October 2006. His last scene saw him being confronted by a gang of thugs, and his fate has never been revealed although he is presumed dead.
Jake makes his first appearance on 30 December 2004 with his brother, Danny (Jake Maskall), as the second cousins of Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) and Spencer Moon (Christopher Parker). He is a witness to the murder of his boss, Andy Hunter (Michael Higgs), by Johnny Allen (Billy Murray). Jake is employed by Johnny for several months after this, along with Danny. Both of them are fired in June 2005 because a reformed Johnny decides they are a part of his former life as a gangland boss.
