My Impression of the Newest Addition Jake Stone

Ever notice how various characters in EastEnders seem to have the same problems?

Daddy Issues - Janine Butcher, Michael Moon, Dex-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and Joey Branning

Victims of Sexual Abuse - Kat, Whitney and Ronnie

Now, alcoholism is the latest venture:- Phil Mitchell, Lauren Branning and now Jake Stone.

There used to be another recovering alcoholic on the show who indulged in a wee bit of child abuse, himself, since he fucked about with Bianca (off-screen) when she was only fifteen: Dan Sullivan. 

I know nothing about Jamie Lomas, except that he used to be in HollyOaks, is the brother of Emmerdale's Charlie Webb and the husband of Corrie's Kym Marsh Ryder Marsh Lomas and that he's easy on the eye. I've never seen him act, so I can't say whether he'll be good in this role or not. If TPTB have a clearly defined character arc and backstory, he's definitely the right age demographic which is currently sadly lacking in the show. He may very well succeed and I hope he does; I'm actually more optimistic about this addition to the show than I am about Greek Janine/Cindy.

However, on first look and on reading his character outline, I got a curious feeling of deja-vu.

Jake Stone ...


could very well be Dan Sullivan-lite.

  1. Well, he/she has just shown themselves for the ill-educated, ill-informed plonker and waste of space he/she is.

    What a pathetic individual. Not even worthy of a wank on the naughty step and certainly not worthy of a reply IMO.

  2. Well, if everyone thinks Emilia is a "twat", then why do they waste their time reading this blog?

    A lot of people happen to agree (occasionally/mostly/in part) with what is written and pick up some good points.

    Go Troll somewhere else if the most you can contribute is abuse.
