Big Mo last left Walford in 2021 when she opted for a life of luxury on a cruise ship with Fat Elvis (Shenton Dixon) but will be back for more mayhem.

Speaking of her return, Morse said: "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. I’ve missed my on-screen family so much and can’t wait to see everyone again.”
