Mo Harris is the matriach of the Slater family, like Charlie she cares about her family above all else, and anyone who upsets her grandaughters gets a whole lot of verbal from Mo. In fact "Big Mo" as she's often called is renowned for her big mouth. Mo Harris walked into Walford in 2000, to live with recently widowed son in law Charlie and her grandchildren Kat, Lynne, Little Mo and Zoe. The death of her daughter Viv had hit Mo hard and her and Charlie were united in grief and determined to carry on with life in Walford.

But as soon as she walked across Albert Square she faced on old adversay from the past: Pat Evans, nee Harris. Over a long period of time it was revaled that Mo married Pat's brother Jimmy. The pair had fallen out because Pat thoroughly disapproved of her new sister-in-law. In an attempt to break them up, Pat lied to Jimmy and told him that Mo was having an affair and Mo had held a grudge ever since. Slowly the pair have learnt to forgive and forget and are now on social terms, and at times can be friendly with each other. 

Big Mo is well known for selling and buy dodgy gear from the lowlife of London and on numerous ocassions her dealings have resulted in some comedy scenes in eastenders: fluroscent pink shoes at Little Mo's Wedding and Henry VIII and his naughty wives langerie costumes for the St George's Day Fancy Dress. Mo hasn't found love since her time in Walford, but she has enjoyed winding up Minty Peterson into beliveing that she fancied him.
