Who Is Eddie Harrigan in MobLand? The Grandson Who Started a War
Mobsters DailyEddie Harrigan, played by Anson Boon, is Conrad and Maeve Harrigan's grandson — and the young man whose killing of Tommy Stevenson in MobLand's first episode starts the war the whole series fights. He is the youngest generation of the family, and the most dangerous thing in it: protected, feral, and bored.
The grandson who started a war
Eddie is the son of Kevin Harrigan, raised inside the privilege mapped out in Conrad Harrigan's rise and fiercely indulged by his grandmother, as Maeve Harrigan's role in the family makes clear. A night out with Tommy Stevenson — son of rival boss Richie Stevenson — ends with Eddie stabbing him to death. One dead heir, one living killer, and suddenly two London crime families are counting bodies.
November is when Tony Soprano season quietly turns into sweater season around here. Our Tony Soprano Ugly Christmas Sweater puts Tony in full holiday mode on a sweatshirt built for exactly this stretch of the year, and it is the piece readers keep asking about.
Protected at all costs
What defines Eddie is not the killing but the cleanup. The family closes ranks instantly: fixer Harry Da Souza is sent to make the problem disappear, Kevin is pulled into his own son's crime, and Maeve treats Eddie's recklessness as something the world must absorb. Boon plays him with a grin that never reaches calculation — Eddie does not start the war out of strategy. He starts it because nobody in his life has ever let a consequence touch him, and the Stevensons intend to be the first.
