Mo Harris (Laila Morse) is set to return to EastEnders later this year, and new pictures have teased what exactly it is that leads to her comeback.

Several cast members of the BBC One soap were spotted filming scenes on-location as part of the upcoming storyline.

Lacey Turner, Gillian Wright and James Bye, who play Stacey and Jean Slater and Martin Fowler respectively, were all snapped during the shoot.

It’s believed that Stacey, Martin and Jean make their way to a campsite in Essex, where they reckon Big Mo is staying.

The trio are hopeful that they can persuade Mo to return to the Square, but the question is: will they succeed?

Mo is set to stage an on-screen comeback during the summer, with actress Laila Morse reprising her role for the first time since she left over a year ago.


EastEnders are keeping tight-lipped on what exactly brings her back to the Square, but given that it’s Mo, it’s safe to assume that dodgy dealings will be on the menu. 

‘I always have so much fun playing Mo so I can’t wait to get back to the Square and see what mischief she gets up to this time,’ actress Laila Morse said at the time.

‘I’ve missed my on-screen family so much and can’t wait to see everyone again.’

Mo, as viewers know, got offered the chance to go on a cruise with her old pal Fat Elvis last year.

She refused to go at first, as she was incredibly concerned about Jean Slater (Gillian Wright), who – at the time – thought she was dying.

Jean, however, got wind of Mo’s refusal to leave, and thus – with some assistance from Kat (Jessie Wallace) – was able to convince her to seize the opportunity and live her life to the fullest. 

Mo subsequently took their advice, and left the Square in emotional scenes. 

Laila Morse was, at the time, planning on moving to Spain, and this is the reason as to why Big Mo was written out. 

‘I made the decision a while ago that I wanted to move to Spain so I let the team know that was my plan,’ Laila told Metro.co.uk.

‘They said they would love to have me come back now and again when there was a need for Big Mo to return which was lovely to hear.

‘I mean it was ideal as this opportunity gave me the chance to spend more time in Spain, in the sunshine!’

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
