Laila Morse: EastEnders is no fun

Actress Laila Morse thinks that ‘all [the] fun has gone’ from EastEnders.

The 71-year-old actress, who played wheeler-dealer Mo Harris in the BBC soap between 2000-2016, shared her opinions on the show with The Sun, noting of its current output:

“People come up to me in the street and ask why I’m not in EastEnders any more as Big Mo used to make people laugh. I still watch EastEnders, but it feels like all fun has gone. It used to make people laugh. It’s not like that any more, it’s just not got the kick in it that it used to have.” – Laila Morse

However, the actress whose other credits include Nil By Mouth, The Bill and Great Expectations, said she would return to the East London-based saga if invited to.

“All of a sudden my character disappeared and I wasn’t in it any more, but I’ve never officially left the show – I’ve never had a leaving party or a present. I hope Big Mo comes back. I like all the cast, they’re lovely people, so it would be good to film with them again.”

Since leaving EastEnders, Laila has appeared on Celebrity Masterchef for the beeb.
