Albert Square is reeling once again after a shocking revelation that threatens to tear apart friendships, families, and fragile alliances. In

upcoming EastEnders episodes, Anthony Moon finds himself at the heart of a gripping mystery that could change everything. A secret

phone call he makes late one night is set to expose dangerous truths, reignite old rivalries, and leave viewers asking — what is Anthony hiding, and who was on the other end of the line?

 

 

As the tension in Walford reaches boiling point, Anthony’s calm and charming exterior begins to crack — revealing a man caught between guilt, loyalty, and fear. What begins as a quiet conversation behind closed doors quickly spirals into one of the most shocking twists the Square has seen all year.

1. The Call That Changes Everything

It all starts innocently enough. Anthony slips away from the Vic during closing time, phone clutched tightly in hand, pacing nervously near the Arches. His brother Tyler Moon calls after him, joking about a “secret girlfriend,” but Anthony barely responds. Moments later, he dials a number — and the tone of his voice shifts completely.

“You said you’d stay away,” he whispers urgently. “If anyone finds out you’re back, everything I’ve done here falls apart.”

The audience only hears one side of the call, but it’s enough to send shivers down the spine. Whoever’s on the other end clearly holds a dangerous connection to Anthony — and possibly to the darker corners of his past.

When he ends the call, Anthony looks shaken, muttering, “This can’t happen again.” But as fans know, in Walford, secrets never stay buried for long.

2. Whitney Overhears — And Suspects the Worst

Unfortunately for Anthony, he isn’t as alone as he thought. Whitney Dean, walking back from a tense encounter with Zack, catches part of the conversation. She later confides in Stacey Slater, saying, “He sounded terrified, Stace. Whoever he was talking to — it wasn’t good.”

Stacey, ever the realist, warns her to tread carefully. “In this place, everyone’s hiding something,” she says. “Just make sure you’re ready for the truth before you go digging.”

But Whitney can’t let it go. The next day, she questions Anthony directly, asking who he was talking to. He brushes her off, insisting it was a “business call,” but his nervous tone only fuels her suspicions.

“He’s lying,” Whitney later tells Martin. “I know that voice — it’s someone in trouble.”

3. A Ghost from the Past

Things take a darker turn when Anthony receives a text message that stops him in his tracks:

“You owe me, and I’m coming to collect. – L.”

Fans immediately began speculating online — who is “L”? Could it be Lola Pearce, who was presumed dead? Or perhaps Lucy Beale, whose memory still haunts the Square? But insiders have confirmed the truth is far more sinister.

The “L” refers to Lenny Cox, a small-time criminal from Anthony’s old boxing circle who disappeared years ago after a dodgy deal went wrong. Lenny was thought to have fled abroad — but now, it seems he’s back in London, and he wants revenge.

Anthony’s secret call wasn’t about love — it was about blackmail. He’s been paying off Lenny for months, terrified that his past involvement in illegal betting and match-fixing will be exposed.

4. The Moons in Crisis

Tyler soon notices something’s wrong. When Anthony’s behavior grows erratic — missing shifts, snapping at family, and drinking too much — Tyler corners him.

“What’s going on, bro? You’re acting like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Anthony snaps back: “You wouldn’t understand. This is bigger than you, bigger than Walford.”

But Tyler won’t drop it. Later, he confides in Kat Slater, who warns him that secrets like this tend to destroy families. “If Anthony’s in trouble,” she says, “you’d better find out what kind before someone gets hurt.”

The brothers’ once-solid bond begins to fracture, and Tyler’s worry soon turns to anger. “I thought we were done with that life,” he shouts in a heated scene in the Vic. “You promised me!”

Anthony, guilt written all over his face, quietly replies, “I didn’t have a choice.”

5. Phil Mitchell Enters the Scene

It doesn’t take long before Phil Mitchell catches wind of Anthony’s suspicious behavior. When he overhears a conversation between Anthony and an unknown man near the Arches, his instincts kick in.

“You think you can run deals in my territory without me knowing?” Phil growls.

Anthony pleads with him to stay out of it, but that’s never been Phil’s style. “You bring trouble to Walford, you answer to me,” he warns.

Later, Phil meets Sharon and tells her, “There’s something dodgy going on with that Moon lad. I can smell it.” And when Phil smells blood, you can bet it won’t stay hidden for long.

6. The Secret Blows Up

By week’s end, Anthony’s world collapses. Lenny shows up in Walford, cornering him outside the café and demanding another payout — this time, in front of Whitney.

“Looks like you’ve got a new audience,” Lenny sneers. “Better tell her what kind of man you really are.”

Whitney’s face turns to shock as Anthony admits the truth: he was part of the illegal fight ring that nearly got someone killed years ago — and Lenny’s been blackmailing him ever since.

“I did it for my family,” Anthony pleads. “To keep us safe. I swear I never wanted this life again.”

But it’s too late. Tyler storms off, shouting, “You’ve ruined everything!” while Whitney walks away in disgust.

7. What Happens Next

In the fallout, Anthony is left completely isolated. Lenny’s threats grow darker, hinting that someone close to Anthony could be next. Meanwhile, Phil’s decided he’s had enough. “You want trouble, Lenny? You’ve got it,” he snarls, setting up an explosive confrontation that will shake the Square.

And in a heartbreaking final scene, Anthony stands alone by the canal, phone in hand, deleting Lenny’s number. “No more lies,” he whispers — just as his phone rings again. He looks down, and the caller ID flashes one word: UNKNOWN.
