Jake Moon to stay on 'EastEnders'?
EastEnders actor Joel Beckett isn't leaving the soap after all, according to The Sun today.

Beckett, who plays Jake Moon, was axed in March, alongside on-screen brother Danny (Jake Maskall), after just three months on screens.

The actors were axed as the soap's producers decided to move away from gangster-led plotlines, in a bid to boost ratings. However, it now seems that Beckett's character has been given another chance.

A source told the newspaper, "Jake is staying on in the Square following a reprieve from new boss Kate Harwood. She felt he was an enormous asset and didn't want to let him go. There are plans for Jake to be involved in some big storylines."
