There's a new hunk in Albert Square and BBC One viewers are eager to see what he brings to the table.
Fans of the London-based drama were recently introduced to Jed.
The new character is moving into No.25 with beloved nurse Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) and viewers couldn't be happier.
Most of them swarmed over to Twitter, begging for bosses to make Jed stick around as they set eyes on Sonia's "fit" new housemate.

"Can Sonia give her new lodger, Jed, a very long term lease please", one viewer quipped.
"If I was letting a room to Jed, I’d have the heating on 24/7", another chimed in as a third viewer echoed: "Jed better rent the room so we can see more of him around."
Another agreed: "Ooh hello who's Sonia's new lodger."
"Oooof Sonia - we like Jed. Give him the room. Jed looks like an ideal lodger", one fan cheered on.

While some were left flustered, another handful of them immediately recognised West End star Bradley Jaden.
"Weird to think I saw Jed in Les Mis as Javert", one soap fan reacted.
Regular theatre performer Bradley is best-known for being part of the cast of Les Misérables: The Staged Concert at Sondheim Theatre.
Bradley has portrayed Fiyero in Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, appeared in Ghost the Musical on UK Tour and Shrek The Musical.
