Big Mo Returns To Support Kat In EastEnders
In tonight’s episode, Big Mo will walk into The Vic after being away from the soap. Kat is already trying to understand Chrissie’s claim. She had accused Jasmine of being Anthony’s killer. And now Mo is stepping in right when things felt scattered. Also, her main focus will be to help Kat, who is fighting to get Zoe out og jail.
Mo will then cross paths with Jake and Chrissie. And the history between her and Chrissie shows right away, as they never shared a warm relationship. On the other hand, Jake will treat Mo differently. He is genuinely pleased to see her. And while they share an exchange, Jake explains his reason for standing by Chrissie. Even the matriarch listens to him.

Kat’s nan hasnt been seen in a long time. Even her last episode was linked to Lynne Slater. Kat had mentioned Mo during a video call with Jean, who is staying with Lynne after her breakdown caused by Anthony’s death.
Mo had originally left for a long stay. And now she has simply reappeared. And now she is here for her grandchild, Kat. Even Alfie is far away with Spencer. And so Kat had very few people to lean on.
Howie Shows Up At Anthony Trueman’s Funeral
Along with Mo Harris, one long-forgotten character is also returning. Howie Danes is returning after he disappeared after his breakup with Kim Fox. Yolande is busy in prayer before Anthony’s funeral begins. And Howie suddenly shows up. Kim appreciates his efforts in making it to the funeral and greets him warmly, while others look quite surprised.

And he was pushed out of Walford. Both he and Anthony knew each other’s secret. And this was revealed at Howie and Kim’s engagement party. After learning the truth, Kim ended their relationship.

After which, Howie disappeared from the Square completely. But what is Howie here for? And for how long is he planning to stay? For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
