She is now only a semi-recurring guest character. I'd quite like her back full time tbh.

Because Lorraine Newman demoted her character to that of a guest character. Hence why she has not been in it.

Her lack of screen time has nothing to do with her deciding to do I'm A Celebrity.

This character is SO overrated! And after seeing her in the jungle, she is obviously just playing herself!!

Same! Maybe DTC will bring her back full time in the New Year!

Some say she got the role because they assume her brother may do a guest stint, but he never has and no doubt never will

I think that ship has sailed - Gary Oldman will not feature in Eastenders - I am 95% sure of this

So Tracey and Marie got more screen time than her?

To be fair Laila has done nothing wrong by appearing on another show. Her character is no longer heavily featured - unless another producer decides otherwise, so I am assuming she is not contractually obliged to commit to EastEnders whenever other work becomes available. There's probably some special clause as she's a part-timer on the Beebs payroll. I am only guessing ofcourse ....

Surely I'm A Celebrity proves once and for all and without doubt that she can't act? She's been playing herself for the last 13 years!

It's a joke that Mo is supposed to be living in the Vic? yet hasn't appeared all year, missed all of this wedding, missed the Alfie & Kat fall out, will most likely miss Charlie's one episode return, missed Jean's love story & departure - when Alfie is booted out the Vic, I bet she doesnt even appear!

Laila is no longer contracted to eastenders at all, any appearance she now makes is as a guest like Peggy's one-off episode earlier in the year or Aunt Sal's brief appearance this week. She's appeared only twice in EE this year, one episode in August and one episode in May. She's not a recurring character but a guest.

Is she supposed to be still living in the Vic but we just don't see her onscreen? Or is she off living with Charlie or one of the Slater sisters? I know they do this type of thing in US soaps quite a bit where a character goes "off canvas" as they call it but I've only ever really seen it used in UK soaps when an actor dies offscreen and they need time to write them out.

Given how prominent the Slater clan were at their height, it's unusual that Mo never really got a storyline of her own at any stage. At the beginning, they were pushing the angle of having a feud with Pat and they even did the Pat and Mo flashback special but after that she's only ever been a background character.

Wasn't the actress declared bankrupt? That is why she is in the jungle. How people can earn so much over so long a time and spend so much is beyond me. Hope she keeps hold of this money because I don't think we will see her acting much again.
