Eddie will hit our screens next week as Phil’s (Steve McFadden) contact who will help the baddie try and outsmart DCI Samantha Keeble.
EastEnders isn’t the first well-known TV show that Eddie has starred in.

Eddie has been in the likes of Casualty, Birds of a Feather, Lock Stock, The Bill and Doc Martin.
He’s also been in films such as The Business, Assassin, The Firm, Devil’s Tower and Gunned Down.
As fans of the hit show will know, Phil was recently released from prison after agreeing to become an informant for the police.
However he’s not very happy about it and wants to make things difficult for DCI Keeble.
The mechanic recently released that Keeble’s motives could get him and the Mitchells in trouble.
Next week Ravi Gulati (newcomer Aaron Thiara) starts looking for Phil and he realises that he needs help.
He decides that Dodge is his best bet at finding out something that could get Keeble in trouble.
But will Phil be able to outsmart Keeble with this new information?
