Boon, who plays Eddie Harrigan, the unpredictable grandson of mob boss Conrad Harrigan ( Pierce Brosnan ), told Yahoo: "I think you can expect something that is totally unexpected [from MobLand], basically. Whatever you think might happen - the opposite will happen, because it's full of twists and turns.

" "Obviously, we don't want to give away any spoilers, but it's real edge of your seat stuff." "There's a lot that's going to happen," adds Mandeep Dhillon, Conrad's daughter Seraphina. "There's so many different storylines, but it's so hard to talk about, without talking about it.

GOSH! I cannot believe that happened!' Where Jez comes up with these things from, I do not know. "They are incredible. His mind is amazing.
