EastEnders is set for a dramatic week as Jake Moon makes a full return to Walford, reuniting with his cousin Alfie Moon after 20 years. The character, believed dead since 2006, briefly appeared in 2024 with Chrissie Watts, but next week's episodes will finally see him confront Alfie.
Jake's return comes after he visits Zoe Slater in prison, seeking answers about her and Chrissie's actions at Christmas. A soap insider revealed that Zoe's revelations will leave Jake reeling, forcing him to make a difficult decision about his relationship with Chrissie.
The reunion with Alfie is described as a 'crucial moment' that fans have long awaited. Alfie, who thought his cousin was dead, will experience relief and emotional scenes as they catch up. The insider added that the closure corrects an 'injustice' from Jake's brief 2024 return, which lacked interaction with Alfie.
Jake also faces his past with Phil Mitchell, as he accidentally killed his brother Danny Moon years ago. Phil offers guidance, leading Jake to a decision that could change everything. The storyline leaves open the possibility of Chrissie's return to Walford.
