I love the character Jake... hope we see lots more of him!  He's hot!!

So glad you like him too! He is rather lovely, isn't he?

 I'm on the 'characters' thread and some people over there are giving him a rough time. Poor lamb. 

He looks like Mickey Mouse  -  the ears, facial expression.  And he behaves like him.  Cocky, brash, strutting around acting loony.  A fitting date for the narcissistic Michelle.

The whole plotline is utter garbage and boring beyond belief. 

I don't think he's all that personally.

One of the very worst actors ever to tread the cobbles. I´m finding it´s a "hide behind the sofa and shut your ears" moment when he´s on screen. Truly awful.

Jake is a fake.

A really bad actor who only ever has one expression on his face and whose Jack-the-lad character has- in the immortal words of Louis Walsh - no likeability factor.

I'd rather have Peter Barlow or Tony Gordon any day.

Oh dear badgunky.....so you're not a fan of Jake then. 

I see Jake the Micky Mouse builder is to return on New Year's Eve, one word - WHY?

not huge fan of Peter but I see where you;re coming from and as for Tony - yes please

The thought of Michelle and Jake striving to act out every emotion from A to B is a concept that makes even Molly and Kevin an enticing couple.

Does anyone else find his voice really irritating?

Yes. And just about everything else.

He's just so smug and shallow, though to be honest in that respect he is a perfect match for the equally shallow Michelle.
