'EastEnders' Tyler understands Whitney, says Tony Discipline

EastEnders star Tony Discipline has insisted that his character Tyler Moon would be a perfect match for troubled Whitney Dean.

Whitney is currently at the centre of a love triangle storyline on the BBC show as both Tyler and Fatboy Chubb (Ricky Norwood) have feelings for her.

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

"Then other people come up and they're like, 'Fatboy will be a lot nicer to her'. Yeah, he's a safer bet, but it's all down to what Whit wants - the safer bet or the man she's destined to be with."

He continued: "I don't know how it's going to go. It could be Fatboy and Whitney who break Tyler's heart, couldn't it?

"In Tyler's defence, I think he understands Whitney more than anyone else. He's from a similar world to her and can comprehend the things that have gone on in her life. He cares for her."

Whitney (Shona McGarty) has a showdown with Tyler next week after discovering that he has slept with her best friend Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa).
