Big Mo Harris (Laila Morse) is to set her sights on a new fella in EastEnders next week – Stevie Mitchell (Alan Ford)!
She will arrive back in Albert Square with great grandson Freddie (Bobby Brazier), and in true Slater style, their entrance isn’t without a bit of mayhem.
Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) calls ex-wife Kat Mitchell (Jessie Wallace) to say that he’s got intruders in their flat, and after attacking them with a toy baseball bat, discovers its actually Mo and Freddie.
Mo has been absent from Walford for quite some time.
The matriarch of the large clan, she was introduced alongside the rest of the family in 2000. She was a regular on the BBC One soap until 2012, and continued to make recurring appearances for the next four years.
She returned in 2018 for another three year stint, and was last seen at Kat’s failed wedding to Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) in 2022.
For many years she was the business associate and lover of Fat Elvis (Shenton Dixon), a market worker that was often spoken about but only seen once.
The two later got engaged, but a few months later she revealed that he’d left her for his probation officer.

However, by 2021, the couple seemed to be back on track and he invited her on a Caribbean cruise.
Next week, however, it seems their relationship is well and truly over as she looks set to couple up with lonely Stevie, the estranged father of Billy Mitchell.
The pensioner arrived in Walford at Aunt Sal’s (Anna Karen) funeral, but it wasn’t until earlier this month that he showed his face again and has tried to make amends with Billy, and to get to know his children.
It seems that he and Mo manage to hit it off, and he invites her back to No. 31 to continue the rest of their evening, much to the hilarity of Freddie, Bobby (Clay Milner Russell) and Anna (Molly Rainford).
Could they be the Square’s hottest new couple?
