Matt Lapinskas waves goodbye to Walford
He arrived in Albert Square in July 2011 with brother Tyler to join dad Eddie and ever since Anthony Moon has kept himself busy wheeling and dealing down the Emporium, romancing Amira, kissing Mandy, trying it on with Jodie and indirectly getting Derek Branning picked up by the Old Bill... earning his brother Michael a battering.
But all good things must come to an end and Matt Lapinskas has revealed that he'll be leaving the Square for pastures new soon. He says:
"Working with David Essex, Tony Discipline and the EastEnders cast has been an absolute pleasure. I’m currently filming some great storylines which I can’t wait to be seen on screen later in the year.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."

I guess the best scenes with young characters, for me, are family situations where teen/young adult and adult characters are together. :)
