What is Jack Ryder, former EastEnders star, doing 20 years after leaving the show?

Jack Ryder, known for his role as Jamie Mitchell on EastEnders, has had a successful career in the industry. Recently, fans have been reflecting on Jamie's tragic death, which was brought up in a recent episode when Billy's father, Stevie, asked about him. Jamie's life was cut short when Martin Fowler, driven by jealousy over Jamie's relationship with Sonia Jackson, hit him with his car. Martin has since referred to Jamie's death as the biggest mistake of his life.

It's been over 20 years since Jack Ryder last appeared on our screens as Jamie, so let's take a look at what he's been up to. In addition to continuing his acting career, Jack is now an acting coach and author. On his Instagram page, Jack Ryder Sessions, he shares reviews from other stars in the industry who have worked with him. Last year, Jack helped a sight-impaired boy fulfill his dream of writing a novel by mentoring him through the process.

Since his character's death in 2002, Jack has published multiple children's books and his latest one, Voyage to Mermaid Mountain, will be released in July. The book follows the story of Pixie, a young girl who sets sail with her Nanny, friend Wyld, and talking frog Pebbles in search of a mermaid who can grant wishes to bring her parents back.

In addition to his writing and coaching, Jack has also continued to act. He has appeared in shows such as Silent Witness, Holby City, and Doctors. In Silent Witness, he played the role of Grant Hill in two episodes in 2019. That same year, he portrayed Evan Crowhurst on Holby City, a character who was eventually killed by Cameron Dunn, sparking a long-term storyline that saw Cam become the next villain at the hospital.

Aside from his work in the industry, Jack has also been involved in various charity projects. He worked with a sight loss charity to help a young boy write his first novel and has also been an assistant director for stage productions.
