Daniel "Danny" Moon is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Jake Maskall. He made his first appearance on 30 December 2004. The character was axed in July 2005 but returned briefly in March 2006 for the special week of episodes as part of the storyline Get Johnny Week.
Both Jake and Danny imply that their childhood was miserable and full of abuse, and that their father used to beat them with a belt. Danny also suffered from bedwetting. In later years he becomes dependent on his older brother Jake (Joel Beckett).
Danny arrives in the series with his older brother Jake as the second cousins of Alfie Moon (Shane Ritchie) and Spencer Moon (Christopher Parker). Alfie in particular is not happy to see them since they are always in trouble, and it turns out that Alfie took the blame for their crime and went to prison for three years for credit card fraud. Danny works for his much-hated enemy Andy Hunter (Michael Higgs) until the gangster's death. He has a brief relationship with Andy's estranged wife, Sam (Kim Medcalf), just to spite his boss. He and Jake then start working as doormen for another gangster, Johnny Allen (Billy Murray). Danny and Jake plan to leave Walford after Danny sets fire to Johnny's house because Johnny will not take him seriously and steals his business ideas. However, before they leave Johnny finds Danny and forces him into his car. Jake then gets into the car to stay with his brother. Johnny drives them to a forest and locks Jake in the car as he prepares to shoot Danny, however Jake kicks the car window out and escapes into the woods to find them. He tries to persuade Johnny not to kill Danny. The episode ends with Johnny raising the gun at both of them, however, their fate is not revealed until a few months later when Jake turns up, where it turns out that Johnny let them go: under the agreement that they were not seen again. Johnny allows Jake to stay in Walford, but refuses for Danny to ever return. Jake reveals that Danny has gone abroad.
