Editing Mo Harris (section)

=== 2000–2016 ===
Mo, who previously lived in [[Walford]], returns there after almost forty years away, with her son-in-law, [[Charlie Slater]] ([[Derek Martin]]) and granddaughters, [[Lynne Slater]] ([[Elaine Lordan]]), [[Kat Slater]] ([[Jessie Wallace]]), [[Little Mo Morgan]] ([[Kacey Ainsworth]]) and [[Zoe Slater]] ([[Michelle Ryan]]), although Zoe is later revealed to be Kat's secret daughter, making her Mo's great-granddaughter. Mo's rivalry with her former best friend [[Pat Butcher|Pat Evans]] ([[Pam St Clement]]) arises, but they reconcile at the grave of Mo's former husband and Pat's brother, [[Jimmy Harris (EastEnders)|Jimmy Harris]] (Alex King). Much of Mo's time is spent selling poor quality stolen goods and she trades with [[List of EastEnders characters (2015)#Fat Elvis|Fat Elvis]] (Shenton Dixon). She is assisted by [[Mickey Miller|Mickey]] ([[Joe Swash]]) and [[Darren Miller]] ([[Charlie G. Hawkins]]) and for a while sets up a sex chatline. She also works with Charlie's great-niece [[Stacey Slater]] ([[Lacey Turner]]) on her market stall, selling clothes. She has a brief relationship with [[Bert Atkinson]] ([[Dave Hill (actor)|Dave Hill]]), but ends it because Bert is also seeing her friend, Ina Foot ([[Ina Clare]]). They reconcile, but break up again when Bert's ex-wife, [[Evie Brown]] ([[Marji Campi]]), arrives in Walford, terminally ill. Mo begins selling cigarettes that she bought in Spain and two of her customers turn out to be [[Revenue and Customs]] officers. She is sentenced to 100 hours of [[community service]], for [[tax evasion]]. After Stacey marries [[Bradley Branning]] ([[Charlie Clements]]), Mo tries to sell their wedding gifts.

Mo sees Charlie's partner, [[Brenda Boyle]] ([[Carmel Cryan]]), embracing another man at the tube station, but the man is Brenda's brother, [[List of EastEnders characters (2009)#Clive Robinson|Clive Robinson]] (Col Farrel). Brenda reveals to Mo that she is moving to [[Madeira]] with her family and Mo convinces Charlie not to let her go. However, Brenda and Charlie leave together, leaving Mo devastated. She begins drinking heavily and protests against the sale of Charlie's taxi. Charlie returns to Walford with a woman called [[Orlenda]] ([[Mary Tamm]]), but Mo does not trust her. Orlenda leaves, after admitting she was scamming Charlie but returns his money. Mo takes charge of a children's nativity play but fails to keep the children under control. In a raffle, she wins [[Max Branning]]'s ([[Jake Wood]]) car, but sells it, to Max's dismay. When [[Archie Mitchell]] ([[Larry Lamb]]) is murdered (see [[Who Killed Archie?]]), Mo starts a betting circle on who killed him. She runs when she sees a police officer, but later, another officer appears behind her and she asks him if he wants to place a bet. She goes on holiday to Spain with Fat Elvis and when she returns, she is surprised to discover that Bradley is dead. Mo attempts to sell [[Lucas Johnson]]'s ([[Don Gilet]]) bibles to the public, as gruesome souvenirs of the killer. Her insensitivity gets her thrown out of [[The Queen Victoria]] [[public house]]. Mo receives a phone call from Kat, who wants Zoe's birth certificate. Mo meets Kat at a café and gives her the certificate. Kat admits to Mo that she conned a man and needs a new identity. Kat also lies to Mo, claiming that her husband, [[Alfie Moon]] ([[Shane Ritchie]]), is dead. Mo persuades Kat to come home and Kat reluctantly agrees, but when they get home, men are waiting for Kat and her money. However, Alfie sends them away. Mo is shocked to learn that Kat is pregnant and Alfie is not the father. When Kat goes into labour, Mo delivers her son, [[Tommy Moon]], on the floor of The Queen Vic's barrel store. On the same day, [[Ronnie Branning]] ([[Samantha Womack]]) gives birth to a baby boy, [[James Branning]]. On New Year's Eve, Ronnie finds that James has died and she swaps him with Tommy. Alfie and the family find the deceased baby and believe it is Tommy.

After Kat blames Charlie for Tommy's death, Charlie decides to go and live with Lynne, despite Mo begging him not to go. Left living alone, Mo asks Kat if she can move into The Queen Vic and let No. 23. Kat refuses initially but later agrees when Mo reminds her that she never complained about living with Kat's bad habits. Mo continues with her dodgy deals while staying at the pub, including persuading Stacey's mother, [[Jean Slater]] ([[Gillian Wright]]) to serve "turkey" for pub lunches, which turns out to be swan meat. When a [[benefit fraud]] officer declares that Jean has been illegally claiming benefits while working at the pub, Mo admits to Jean and Kat that she has been claiming benefits in Jean's name. Jean agrees to take the blame, as Mo has previous convictions. When Mo learns that her old enemy, Pat, is terminally ill, she visits her in hospital and they end their long-standing feud. When Pat later dies, Mo returns Pat's Miss Butlin's [[sash]], that she stole years ago, out of jealousy. When Mo learns that Charlie has suffered a [[stroke]], she leaves Walford to look after him. Several months later, Jean visits them and Mo returns to The Queen Vic when she believes that Jean is hiding something from her. Her suspicions are confirmed, when she discovers that Alfie is allowing [[Roxy Mitchell]] ([[Rita Simons]]) to stay in The Queen Vic. Mo continues to disapprove of Roxy's presence in The Queen Vic, after Kat and Alfie split up. It is later revealed that Mo has rented a villa in [[Devon]], owned by "a mate".

Mo returns to collect rent from Kat, [[Michael Moon (EastEnders)|Michael Moon]] ([[Steve John Shepherd]]) and [[Alice Branning]] ([[Jasmyn Banks]]). She demands Alice pays by the end of the day, or she will evict her. Kat later convinces Mo to give up her keys to the house. Three months later, Jean discovers that Mo is stealing vegetables from the Walford allotments and Mo convinces Jean's new partner, [[Ollie Walters]] ([[Tony O'Callaghan]]), a police officer whom Mo knows, not to report her, as she is Jean's family. At Christmas, Mo and Charlie visit Walford, where it is revealed that Kat is pregnant with twins. Two months later, Alfie calls Mo, after dealing with some serious family issues, raised by the re-appearance of Stacey after a four-year absence, to which Mo plans to spend more time in Walford to support her family. Mo is delighted when Kat and Alfie's twins, [[Bert and Ernie Moon]] (Freddie and Stanley Beale), are born, but the family's joy is cut short when a fire starts at their house and when it reaches a supply of knock-off hairspray, which Mo had intended to sell, a huge explosion destroys everything that they own. Kat is badly injured and Mo is wracked with guilt, briefly moving in with [[Masood Ahmed]] ([[Nitin Ganatra]]), before taking an extended holiday in [[Lanzarote]] with Charlie.

Mo returns to Albert Square and is shocked to discover that Alfie and Kat have, once again, separated and that her family are financially struggling. Mo reveals to a destitute Kat that she inherited money from her deceased uncle, [[Harry Slater (EastEnders)|Harry Slater]] ([[Michael Elphick]]), who had raped her as a child, impregnating her with Zoe. Kat turns the money down, so Mo secretly has the money transferred to her own account, pretending to be Kat. When Kat discovers this, she is livid and burns the money in the street. Kat and Alfie reconcile and after winning the jackpot on a scratch card, plan to move to [[Tenerife]]. At their leaving party, Mo shows a stunned Kat an engagement ring, revealing that she has accepted a marriage proposal from her long-time business associate and romantic interest, Fat Elvis. Shortly after Kat and Alfie's departure, Mo and Fat Elvis leave for [[Greece]]. When Mo returns alongside Charlie, she reveals that Fat Elvis has left her. When Kat learns she had also given birth to a boy along with Zoe, she realises that Mo knew about the secret, so angrily demands the truth from her. During the argument with Mo that ensues, Charlie suffers a heart attack in front of Mo, Stacey and Kat. After suffering from a [[cardiac arrest]], Charlie dies, which devastates the family. After attending Charlie's funeral, Mo moves to Kent to live with her other granddaughter, [[Belinda Peacock]] ([[Carli Norris]]), as Kat cannot forgive her for having her son adopted. When Belinda moves to Walford after her marriage ends, Mo's whereabouts are not mentioned.
