Storylines[]
2010: Birth and death[]
On 30 December 2010, James was born. Ronnie was delighted that James was born, finally feeling like she can be a mother again after the death of her daughter, Danielle Jones the previous year. However, one day after his death, Ronnie is devastated to discover that James had died due to sudden infant death syndrome. She carries his body through Albert Square, before going into the Queen Vic and taking baby Tommy Moon (Kat Moon and Alfie Moon's son born on the same day as James). Ronnie leaves James' body in Tommy's place and leaves the Vic. Although she quickly changes her mind and attempts to return to give Tommy back, James' body is already found by Kat; and is assumed to be Tommy. James is buried under the name Tommy Moon as a consequence of the baby swap, until April 2011 when Ronnie reveals the truth to Kat and is arrested. Jack later has the gravestone changed to have James' actual name on it.
On 1 January 2017, both his parents visited his grave before their wedding.
