Blue’s Antony Costa Considers ‘EastEnders’ Future

‘EastEnders’ star Shane Ritchie has been giving Blue star Antony Costa some acting advice and believes the soap’s writers could come up with the perfect part for him. “Shane Richie’s lovechild. Alfie Moon’s son,” Costa told Radio 1. “I’d love to join ‘Enders, definitely. I’ve got a few friends there. A lot of the ‘Enders cast have actually said ‘We’d love you to be in it’ so who knows? I’ve got myself an acting agent, Shane Richie’s agent, so Shane Richie’s my mentor, he’s my Mr Miyagi as I always call him, and he laughs at that. He’s introduced me to his agent and his agent’s taken me on, so hopefully please God there’s some stuff in the pipeline for me.”
