I really feel that Mo Harris is criminally underused by the shows writers but according to the Eastenders website her character has 2 sons aswell as the slater grandchildren through her late daughter.I think to build up the harris family and bring in her sons as regulars is an obviously brilliant idea.I dont think their absence has been explained.

    Mo is the matriarch of one of the shows best families-we need to develop her more!

    i never new she had 2 sons?

    i dunno, i agree thats shes under used, maybe it has somthing to do with the age of the actress and the filming comitments of a heavy storyline,

    i do however feel that her and pats storyline has never really been made the most of,

    there was that spin off years ago but then just left, why?

    I agree-I think her two sons would be Pats nephews unless my memory from bbc website is wrong-so theres potential there too to devlop the pat and mo relationship

    I think Mo Harris sons have to appear sometime as does Clare Butcher-check my Clare Butcher thread.

    do you think the shows producers have a planned list to eventually bring in these family members or is it more decided last minute to introduce them rather than planned years in advance?

    I suspect she'll move into the Vic with Kat and Alfie along with Alfie's cousin Michael, it would be interesting to see the Harris family come into the show at some point because Pat has another brother called Geoff Harris, along with Mo's children by Jimmy, Billy and Jean.

    He was written out due to the actor's personal problems

    Why don't you email the EastEnders team and they might consider the suggestion? :)

    It sounds like a great idea and would be a unique route to go down. Introducing a family 10 years after the mother was introduced is a very interesting and original idea.

    Mo had more depth in her first 3 years.The writers have let her down.They caricatured Dot in the early 90s thats why June Brown left for a few years,wanted to be more serious,rounded.

    Totally agree! Mo is so underused its pratically criminal. However, perhaps...
    As it seems Charlie will die in the Vic fire, and with the return of Kat & Alfie, she will be used more as the "figurehead" of the Slater/Moon clan? Perhaps with Charlies death and the returns it will be an opportunity to delve deeper into her character and involve her in more storylines? If Charlie does die, I'd imagine she'll be given some excellent material as the two had become rather close friends over the years.
