Mo Harris of the Moon Family

Mo Harris

Mo loves a bit of dodgy dealing. If you need anything, and we mean ANYTHING, she'll procure it from her mate Fat Elvis. Just don't expect it to pass any British safety standards...

First appearance: 18th September 2000
Address: The Queen Victoria, 46 Albert Square
Occupation: Dodgy Dealer/Pensioner
She's come a cropper with the coppers over tax evasion but she shows no inclination to go straight. And she's currently illegally sub-letting her council house...
Psst! Fancy a bargain?Mo Harris
  • Likes: Partial to a jellied eel, pie and mash, V&T and most alcohol
  • Dislikes: Hospitals
  • History: Went to Butlins in 1958 with her frenemy Pat and took Pat's Miss Butlins sash. Mo later married Pat's brother, Jimmy Harris
  • Criminal record: At one point in the past, Mo was in prison for two years. In March 2007, Mo was sentenced to 100 hours of community service for illegally bringing in large amounts of cigarettes from abroad
Mo loves a gossip, she's always up for a knees-up and never one to turn down a drink at the Vic... especially if someone else is paying.
As the elder stateswoman of the Slater family, she's had her fair share of battles and she'll fight to the death to defend her girls. She's hard as nails and doesn't suffer fools gladly. Unless they cross her palm with silver - or any form of currency really.
