 Inside Soap held a poll to see which of the new Moon family members , Eddie , Tyler or Anthony , its readers were most looking forward to seeing . Anthony came last with 12 % of the vote . During an Inside Soap feature on the Moon brothers vs the Mitchell brothers , Kate Woodward said " Two sexy brothers to shake up Albert Square ? That sounds familiar ! But are Anthony and Tyler really the new Grant and Phil Mitchell ? " Lapinskas commented on this , saying " It 's a lot of pressure to put us both under , but what a duo to be compared to ! ... 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 " .
