Mo Harris’ 90th birthday isn’t happening on screen on EastEnders. And fans are talking about why she’s not in recent storylines. They’re debating where she might be, if the actress is okay, and when Mo might come back to Walford. Keep scrolling to learn more.
Big Mo’s Strongest Storylines On EastEnders
Mo Harris had a rollercoaster few years in Walford. When she returned, she had a chaotic partnership with Stevie Mitchell. The partners in crime ran a market stall out of a van. And they sold knock-off goods. However, this led to a disastrous magic show during a community fundraiser. Also, Mo was wrongly accused of stealing charity money. It was Stevie’s grandson behind it.
Later, Mo moved into the Queen Victoria pub after Kat bought it. She also claimed the best room for herself. And to celebrate the occasion, she threw a rowdy lock-in party. However, when police arrived to shut it down, she threw drinks at a police officer.
And so she was arrested for being disorderly. Even when Zoe returned home after two decades, Mo kept her return secret from Kat for weeks. Also, viewers think that missing this storyline is a big blow for the soap.
Fans’ Comments And Theories
Some fans think that the soap is “ignoring Mo’s age because the actress isnt actually 90 yet.” And some others argued that celebrating it now would be strange. “It would be too weird for most people if they suddenly remembered she’s 90.” A few opined on some practical reasons for her absence. “She probably lives with Lynne off-screen and only films brief appearances.” However, many viewers were also frustrated with the way Slaters are handled. “They bring Mo back for big moments, then she disappears for ages.”
Also, a lot of them desire a very soft mention of her. “Just a line from Kat about Mo’s birthday would make it feel like her birthday was acknowledged.” Several other fans talk about the show’s planning. “They never thought Mo would stay in the center of the story for ten years. So not having the party might simply be a pragmatic move.”
And, at another place, some think that she’s going to have a bigger story. “Mo not being in the picture could mean that she is coming back with the family later this year, and then more drama at The Vic.” For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
