Tyler Moon

Tyler Moon is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Tony Discipline.

Tyler wins the fight, though suffers a seizure and undergoes life saving operations.

When Tyler first arrives, he chats up a number of girls and even kisses Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons).

A love triangle begins to develop between Tyler, Whitney and Fatboy (Ricky Norwood).

[2] Discipline heard about the part in November 2010 from his agent, so decided to audition and returned two weeks later for a workshop.

[4] A source told Inside Soap that Tyler would quickly get to know some of the "gorgeous girls" of Walford,[6] and the two brothers would be "heart-throbs" and "ladykillers".

[7] Tyler's an easy-going geezer, he has a short fuse and isn't averse to throwing the odd punch where he deems it necessary.

Tyler works for the family business, alongside brother Anthony, in an antiques/junk shop called The Emporium.

Though this has more to do with Michael's inability to bond with anyone (except Janine), than Tyler.Discipline stated that Whitney is the perfect girl for Tyler.

Discipline told Inside Soap: "A lot of people say to me, 'Oh, Tyler and Whitney suit each other so much, they're meant to be together'.

After he was branding a soap hunk, he replied: "Oh gosh, well I get a bit of stick about it from my mates, especially when people come up to me in the street.

"[10] After hearing about another upcoming storyline with colleague Shona McGarty, Discipline said to New Magazine: "It could be a lot worse!

Speaking of the plot development, Discipline added: "Lucy starts meddling and tells Tyler that Fat Boy is going to propose to Whitney on Valentine's Day.

[15] Speaking on This Morning, McGarty says she personally thinks that Whitney should stay with because he is so lovely and he genuinely cares.

He takes up boxing, and floors his first opponent, but does not know that his other brother Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) paid him to let Tyler win.

Tyler later dates Poppy Meadow (Rachel Bright), though she is just trying to make her boyfriend jealous.

Michael manipulates Tyler into taking part in an unlicensed boxing match, and sets him up with a boxer called Artie Stiller (Maurice Lee), who is known to fight dirty.

Tyler wins the fight, after taking quite a few beatings, but shortly after he collapses having a seizure in the ring.

Derek Branning (Jamie Foreman) asks Tyler and Anthony for £4000 they owe him for selling some goods for him, but they only have £3000.

He is released without charge and accuses Anthony and Tyler of calling the police, increasing their debt to £8000.

They realise Michael called the police and confront him and his fiancée Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) discovers what is going on.

Tyler tells Whitney he loves her and wants to be with her, she walks away, but later they kiss, causing her to refuse to go on holiday with Fatboy.

Whitney then admits she likes Tyler but finds him kissing Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater).

Tyler visits Eddie and is angry on his return to discover Anthony has left and Derek has taken control of the business.

Whitney feels guilty over a previous kiss with Joey Branning (David Witts) so tells Tyler.

Tyler is insensitive to Whitney when she learns of the death of Tony King (Chris Coghill), an older man who groomed her into a sexual relationship with him from when she was just 12.

With Michael's help, Tyler cons Danny Pennant (Gary Lucy) into giving him his sports car, and leaves Walford to work on a cruise ship with Anthony.

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.

[19] A columnist for All About Soap said that Tyler was "lovesick" over Whitney and he behaved like a "complete prat" in his attempts to win her back.

They added that it would be fitting because Whitney never chooses the right men and predicted that Tyler would sleep with Christian Clarke (John Partridge).
