Eddie Moon
On 24 January 2011, it was announced that Essex had been cast in the role of Eddie, the father of Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd). It was stated that Eddie's other children would arrive after him, and his "fractured" relationship with Michael would be explored. Of his role, Essex said, "Being an East-Ender myself, I'm really excited to be joining the Square. Eddie Moon is a great character and I can't wait to get to grips with the role and work with such a fantastic cast. I'm really pleased that I've been able to make filming work around my tour dates this time." Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood said that Essex would "bring warmth and charisma to the role of Eddie Moon" and added that Eddie and the return of Michael will bring "a new generation of the Moon family to Walford." Essex had been cast as Jack Edwards six years previously, but withdrew from the role due to a clash with his touring schedule. He revealed "[T]he character [...] wasn't as interesting as this one. I think we would've made something out of it, but there's much more texture and weight to this." On 27 February 2011, Essex told "Elaine Paige on Sunday" that he would start filming as Eddie in April and that the character and his storylines were being brainstormed. He revealed that his initial contract would end in August 2011 and although he could stay on longer, he said there are other acting and touring projects "pulling me out of "EastEnders", but emotionally, I'm here." He later revealed that Eddie would remain on screen until October. He hoped that he could return and become a regular returning character, joking that he would be an "occasional Mooner", but later he ruled out a return to the show. He said that joining the cast was "daunting" and a "great adventure" that was "taking over [his] life", and because he was writing a film score at the same time as filming for "EastEnders", it was "tricky" and he found it difficult to adjust.
Peter Mooney
One of Mooney's first major roles was Dr. Adrian Keeper on Global Television and ABC Family's "Falcon Beach". 2009 saw Mooney star in the Canadian independent thriller "Summer's Moon" as Tom Hoxey, alongside "Twilight" actress Ashley Greene.

Enter David Essex as charming Eddie Moon—whose presence has caused something of a stir among [viewers]."

Anthony steals £8000 from Eddie's safe, but bets on Tyler's opponent Artie Stiller (Maurice Lee), which leaves Michael unimpressed, as he has researched Artie and found out he is tough. During the fight, however, Tyler narrowly wins so Anthony has to confess to Eddie that he has lost the money. Shortly after he does, Tyler collapses and has a seizure, so is rushed to hospital. Eddie is sickened by Anthony's actions and tells him he wishes he was dying in a hospital bed, rather than Tyler. Distraught, Anthony storms out and attends a party run by Mandy Salter (Nicola Stapleton), culminating in him kissing her. Afterwards, Anthony returns to the hospital to learn that Tyler has been taken for a life-saving operation and is furious that Eddie was not around. Eddie then admits that his children would be better off without him.

Eddie then leaves Walford, leaving Tyler and Anthony the antiques business.
Alfie (band)
The band released 3 vinyl-only EP's on the label through 2000, the self-titled debut in February, second "Bookends" in August and third "Montevideo" in November. They released debut album, "If You Happy with You Need Do Nothing" in March 2001. Explaining the origin of album title, Gorton revealed that "It actually comes from when I was in my old flat and my dentist had changed hands, and I had this Asian dentist who wrote a letter in pidgin English saying 'oh I'm gonna be your new dentist now, if you wanna use your old dentist you have to do this, but if you happy with you need do nothing' and it was in brackets and it was like 'Wow.' So we kept that because it suits what we do". Although the album is technically a compilation of the previous EPs plus new songs Umlaut and 2 Up 2 Down, it is largely considered to be the band's debut and was promoted as such. The band had wanted to record the album afresh, but as Twisted Nerve were unwilling to finance studio time the band were forced to use the existing recordings. In September 2001, the band released a newly recorded version of "You Make No Bones" as a single. In December 2001, the band were forced to pull out of a gig in Glasgow after guitarist Ian Smith was electrocuted during the soundcheck after he touched a microphone whilst some equipment had reportedly short circuited. He was treated as a local hospital for shock and burns to his hands.

List of EastEnders characters (2009)

This is Fernandes's second role in "EastEnders", her first being a schoolgirl in 1993.

[...] She knows what she wants and cunningly knows how to get it". When Tamwar and Afia resume their relationship in 2010, Patel said that Tamwar is grateful for his second chance with Afia. He revealed that he was "very happy" when the producers revealed they were bringing Fernandes back, saying "We filmed together for about three or four weeks when she first came into the show, which was about this time [in 2009]. [...] I was always asking people if she was going to come back. Then she dropped me a text to say that they'd got in touch with her and were bringing her back, which was fantastic." Tamwar and Afia's wedding was voted best wedding at the "Inside Soap" awards 2011. Afia has been described by "TV Pixie" as "slightly erratic" and "aloof". When Afia and Tamwar married, the website said that the Afia and Tamwar storyline "ran out of steam" after leaving for their honeymoon.

When Billy is arrested on suspicion of murdering Heather Trott (Cheryl Fergison), Derek worries that he may implicate them in the alcohol theft and asks Alfie to frame Phil by hiding goods at his garage. However, Alfie is caught and Phil confronts him, making it clear that Alfie takes orders from him, not Derek. When Derek learns that Alfie has told Phil everything, he furiously threatens Alfie.
Kat &amp; Alfie: Redwater
Daniel Kilkelly ("Digital Spy") called the first episode "atmospheric" and "gripping". He said, "While Kat shines in "Redwater", it's fair to say that Alfie seems a little bit lost and directionless in the first episode, with even scenes of him experiencing weird visions and nearly dying (twice!) seeming like time-fillers." He said the characters of Agnes and Dermott had "immediately caught our attention" but wondered if the show would appeal to viewers who are not "EastEnders" fans, saying "surely you have to be an "EastEnders" watcher to really care about Kat's quest for her son?" but said "for us it's a thumbs up if "Redwater" can keep up the suspense, surprises, gothic tone and sense of foreboding that sets it apart from "EastEnders"." The series was reviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live's "Afternoon Edition", where TV critic Emma Bullimore from "TV Times" said that it was "enjoyable" but more "soapy" and less "complex" than "Broadchurch", and said that viewers should not expect it to be like "EastEnders" or "Broadchurch" but should "accept it as a new thing", adding that it had good production values and deemed it a "worthy experiment". Sinéad Garvan from "Newsbeat", speaking at the same time, said that she found it "weird" seeing Kat and Alfie in a different setting and was more intrigued by the new characters but said that Kat and Alfie still had the same chemistry that they have in "EastEnders".

Michael Moon (EastEnders)
Michael is described as a competitive and manipulative risk-taker who lives dangerously, and a charmer with an eye for the ladies, but he is willing to stab anyone in the back. Shepherd said that "on the surface he's a loveable, cheeky chappy, but underneath he has hidden depths which will be exciting to explore." Shepherd opined that viewers would be unlikely to vote for him in polls such as 'sexiest male' because his character is "duplicitous": "I think viewers tend to fall in love with the character you play, and if they go for a duplicitous rogue, I'd be very surprised!" He told "What's on TV" that Michael can be mercenary and has a cruel streak, but "there's darkness and light to him, really. Some moments you can see him being really quite cruel and then the next he can be quite compassionate and thoughtful." He told "We Love Telly" that "[Michael] takes pride in the way he dresses and he's always been quite successful with the ladies." Daniel Kileklly from Digital Spy called Michael "enigmatic", and said he has a nasty side. Kirkwood compared Michael to Ronnie and Roxy's father, Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb), saying they approach life and treat people in similar ways. The "EastEnders" website additionally calls Michael a "sinister", "flashy" and "jealous" man who "wouldn't think twice about screwing people over—even those he loves". It continues to read: "Michael possesses all the charming characteristics of his loveable rogue of a cousin Alfie, a cheeky-chappy with a silver tongue and an eye for the ladies, but with a more sinister and cruel streak. Michael is a serial womaniser and with a string of broken hearts and failed marriages behind him, he’s got the track record to prove it. Whenever he needs a port in a storm, there’s a girl he knows that will put him up for a night, a week or more." The "London Evening Standard" dubbed Moon as the "Albert Square psychopath"; Shepherd has described the character as a "functioning psychopath".

Tony and Matt are great actors, and the fact that they're easy on the eye is a great advantage". "What the brothers bring is romance and fun, because that's something we've been a little short-changed on in EastEnders recently. The Moons are a very interesting family to work with – they're all big characters. It's a great new era for that clan". Kirkwood added that "there is more to the pair than meets the eye" saying that there "are a couple of buried secrets between Eddie and his sons" confirming it will be "a big story for the summer". He finished, "there'll be consequences for all concerned". Kirkwood later added, "What I hope we've created in Tyler and Anthony are blokes you might see in the pub on a Friday night with an appetite for life – and for women." When Anthony was introduced, it was revealed that he was a gambling addict. Of this, Lapinskas said, "it's a great thing that our executive producer Bryan Kirkwood and the EastEnders team came up with for Anthony – that he does have this gambling problem and various insecurities connected with it. It adds some more depth to the character and it's brilliant when we can explore that. With every topic and every storyline that crops up, I think Anthony's background will always have an effect and impact on it. That's really nice to play."

Lofty was one of the original twenty-three characters invented by the creators of "EastEnders", Tony Holland and Julia Smith. Both felt that to help complete the community there was a need for a character in his early twenties. He had to be someone a bit different. Not brash and confident like a lot of the older men, and not boisterous like the younger ones. A loner, maybe someone forced to be a loner. A person who "stuck out like a sore thumb". Someone that was happiest in a group but still could not find one that he fit in with. Tony Holland had previously been in the army and found that ex-soldiers had these problems when they tried to reintegrate as civilians. So they decided that Lofty would be an ex-soldier, forced to quit because of his asthma. He was happiest in the army and felt incomplete without the group setting, the all-male camaraderie and even the security of the uniformity that the army provides.

Anthony Moon
On 9 May 2012, Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy reported Lapinskas would be leaving "EastEnders". His character departed 30 August 2012. Of his exit, Lapinskas said "I'm having a fantastic time working on "EastEnders" and playing the role of Anthony Moon. Working with David Essex, Tony Discipline and the "EastEnders" cast has been an absolute pleasure. Although I will really miss "EastEnders" and everyone involved, I am very excited about future projects and what is next for me as an actor." Lapinskas revealed that Anthony's exit plot sees him make a "big mistake". Anthony realises how much he loves Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) but is unsure how to deal with her brother and father Joey (David Witts) and Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) respectively. Speaking to "Soaplife", Lapinskas said "Joey manipulates Anthony into challenging Derek, which is a big mistake. I can't give too much away, but I can tell you that after going up against Derek, Anthony has no choice but to leave the Square." Magazine reports claim that Anthony packs his bags after losing everything to Joey and Derek, revising his gambling problem. Lapinskas hopes that Anthony will return someday. In an interview with "Inside Soap", Lapinskas said that "EastEnders" was his first job outside of drama school and added that he has learnt a lot from the people he worked with. He also added "I was quite disappointed when I found out Anthony would be leaving, I'd have liked to do a lot more stuff with him. It's a shame to not be a part of what's coming up."

Phil and Grant were in the show together for at least 10 years, and they were fantastic – so to be linked to them is phenomenal. It really is a lot to live up to, but Tony and I are hoping to come in with out own energy and bring something completely new to "EastEnders". Rachel Tarley from the "Metro" said "it's nice to have a bit of fresh blood in the soap, especially since the appearance of another one of his siblings always seems to leave Michael a little more demented than he was before. Lapinskas revealed to the "Daily Mirror" that because of his role in "EastEnders", he is recognised in public, calling the experience "surreal". Cecile Metcalf of the "Daily Mail" branded Anthony "the loveable rogue of the square, with a cheeky answer for everything".

Who's Been Sleeping with Kat?
In early September, it was reported that Kat would confess the affair to Alfie, but would refuse to name the man involved. Shane Richie spoke to "Inside Soap", saying that Alfie has no reason to believe Kat is cheating on him, assumes she is just partaking in harmless flirtation, and fully trusts her. He opined that Alfie believes Kat would not lie to him after having affairs in the past, but does not believe her excuses when she receives flowers from her lover. This leads to Kat confessing. Richie said that Alfie's "heart [would] break in two". Richie went on to describe the Moons' marriage as "a bit staid" because Alfie is "set in his ways" while Kat is "out looking for a bit of fun." He explained that Alfie is very committed to Kat, and is "in this marriage for the long run." He said that viewers may not want to see Kat and Alfie totally happy, describing them as "like Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor [...] They can't be with each other and they can't be without each other." He then promised that "what happens to Alfie next is absolutely great!" When asked what Alfie might do when he finds out who Kat is having the affair with, Richie said that he would get revenge, as "everyone forgets Alfie's been in jail. Marriage has taken off his edge, but if he finds out his wife has been with one of his closest friends, well, any bloke would want to cut the other blokes knackers [testicles] off, wouldn't he?" Richie added that the cast were "thrilled" with the storyline, saying that everyone involved is enjoying it. It was confirmed that viewers would not find out who Kat was having the affair with at this time, and that suspects would still be eliminated one at a time. "Inside Soap" then reported that a second suspect would be eliminated "very soon". Michael was then eliminated in the episode broadcast on 14 September.

Talking to "What's on TV", Wallace commented on Kat's reunion with Alfie. She said: "She punches him! Alfie has come looking for her and hasn't seen her for months. He keeps saying to her 'You're fat' and she says 'I'm not fat. I'm pregnant!' Then she says, 'Don't worry Alfie, it ain't yours'. She's peed off with him. He's been in prison and she's had to survive on her own pregnant. But she loves him unconditionally. No matter what they do, they will always end up together. She wants stability... a future for the baby and her. She sets him this challenge and he buys it."

Making Waves (TV series)
Actors were auditioned and hired in late 2002, and included Alex Ferns, well-known to British audiences for his role as Trevor Morgan in the BBC soap opera "EastEnders". "Making Waves" was the first lead role for Ferns, who had taken time off from television acting since leaving "EastEnders" to avoid being typecast in a soap role, and was pleased not to be playing "a psychotic rapist". Emily Hamilton, cast as executive officer Jenny Howard, was largely unknown to British television audiences at the time; her only notable role was in Russell T Davies's "The Grand" in the late 1990s. Lee Boardman (who later appeared in "Rome") took the role of the chef Art Francis to distance himself from his most well-known role, drug-dealer Jez Quigley in the soap opera "Coronation Street". 
Stephen Kennedy was already known for his role as Ian Craig in the BBC Radio 4 soap opera "The Archers". He mentioned in an interview the differences between the two roles, before quipping that they were not that dissimilar. The crew of "Grafton" appeared as extras throughout the series and schoolchildren from St. Jude's School, Southsea appeared in the families day scenes in episode six.

Alfie Moon
Jordan has suggested that many of the rows featured on-screen between Alfie and his love-interest Kat were word-for-word arguments he had with his wife, Tracy. He commented, "We'd be watching EastEnders at home, then an Alfie and Kat scene would start and I'd think, 'Oh shit', because I'd know what was coming. And then we'd have another row about how I don't argue properly because when we do argue I'm just making mental notes for stuff to write the next day."
