Now, fans have found out the Mo's real age in the soap and they are completely amazed. Advertisement Posting on Redditt one said: "There's absolutely no way she's 89?? EIGHTY NINE????"

EastEnders' Big Mo reveals she once had a fling with a woman at Eve and Suki's hen do "It's never been fully believable even in the early days of the Slaters." "Laila Morse is 79 which I still find hard to believe- she's still got plenty of go in her!" exclaimed another. Advertisement A fourth explained: "They aged her up to match pat's age for the backstory, maybe it was believable back in the early 2000s but it sure as hell isn't now." "Gary Oldman is only in his 60s so I doubt she's that old. Unless there's like one hell of an age gap between them" said another. EastEnders stars who QUIT MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year? The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year. Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998. Yet what about the 2024 exits? Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had "quit" the long-running series. It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen. Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford. Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would "quit out of boredom" over recent storylines. Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame. One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky. He played Stacey Slater's brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel. Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse. Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay's Netflix movie 6 Underground. Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005. She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008. While another soap fan said: "Mo doesn't look 90 whatsover, or acts it either." Laila actually has a super famous little brother and it is none other than Oscar-winning actor Gary Oldman. Advertisement They even collaborated on a film together once, as Laila starred in 1997 film Nil By Mouth, Gary's debut as a film writer and director. When some soap fans got hold of the news that the EastEnders star was the Darkest Hour star's big sis, Twitter lit up. Fans began to tweet their funny reactions to the news that Walford's Big Mo and Oscar winner Gary were in fact brother and sister. One EastEnders fan said: "If there is a better fact out there than Big Mo being Gary Oldman's sister I want to hear it" Advertisement Another tweeted: "Wtf since when were Big Mo from Eastenders & Gary Oldman brother & sister?????" While this one commented: "I'll never come to terms with the fact Gary Oldman's sister is Big Mo from Eastenders #Oscars" 5 Laila is the sister of the Oscar winning star Gary Oldman Credit: Rex Features 5 Twitter lit up when fans discovered Gary Oldman was Laila's little brother Credit: AP

However, in upcoming scenes, Avani will be given an unlikely pep talk by Nicola Mitchell as she and Barney continue to bond.

EastEnders confirms Kat and Alfie proposal - six months after reunion
follow. EastEnders has confirmed that there will be another proposal for Alfie Moon and Kat Slater in upcoming scenes. In scenes set to air in a few weeks, Alfie comes up with the idea of doing a wedding photoshoot to promote their new limo business. However, Kat is shocked when Alfie proposes to her, and says that they could be the bride and groom in the photo. The couple got back together about six months ago, as Alfie supported Kat when their son Tommy was being violent and the subsequent dealings with social services. Related: The Slaters have been through other heartbreaks recently, including Harvey Monroe cheating on Jean with Kathy Beale, and the aftermath of Martin Fowler's death, which led to Stacey and the kids departing the other day. Will this proposal lead to a well-deserved piece of happiness for the family? Related: Unfortunately, there's still set to be more trouble to come, as newcomer Joel Marshall recently showed Tommy a disturbing video. With Tommy relying on Joel as his first friend in a long time (he was so lonely recently he started talking to an AI chatbot), could he fall victim to his bad influence and repeat Joel's inexcusable behaviour? Meanwhile, next week will see a dramatic car accident play out, with multiple characters' lives at risk. EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.

Lily Slater leaves EastEnders as soap airs surprise double exit
EastEnders were left in shock as Lily was seen exiting the Square during tonight's episode with baby Charli in hand - but is Lily Slater leaving the soap for good? It's been a tough few months for the Slaters in EastEnders following Martin Fowler's tragic death. In tonight's episode, things became too much for his daughter Lily - as she packed her bags and left Albert Square to stay with her biological dad Ryan. But has actress Lillia Turner left the soap for good? In previous episodes, teen Lily has been seen taking on the household responsibilities as Stacey has continued to struggle following the death of Martin. During tonight's episode, Stacey was seen running out the house after realising her phone with all her messages from Martin was in the pocket of her coat which had been taken to the launderette by Freddie. Alfie then learnt Arthur had Martin's phone all along, and had been listening to the messages from Stacey - leading him to believe his dad was coming home. The revelation erupted into a huge fight between Lily and Stacey, as Stacey ended up elbowing Lily - causing her to storm out the launderette. As Stacey returned home to apologise, Lily revealed she and Charli were going to stay with Ryan. The pair appeared to mend things before Lily's departure, although she told her mother she needed to "sort herself out" before she returned. The exit left fans shocked - as they wonder if Lily has left for good. An official exit has not been announced for the actress, so it's safe to say she'll be back. Plus, in her final scenes, Lily told Stacey she'd be back. Many fans assume Lillia Turner, 16, is taking time off from the soap to focus on her GCSEs, like many actors have done in the past. Taking to Reddit, one fan said: "I'm sure it's just for the Summer. I'm sure Lily will be back when Lillia is done with her GCSE exams - sometime in the middle of summer." Lily's shock departure comes shortly after Lacey Turner announced she'd be leaving the soap for an extended period. At the end of tonight's episode, Stacey was heard telling her children Arthur and Hope that they'd be going to stay with their auntie Lynne. Lynne Hobs is is the daughter of Charlie and Viv Slater - and the sister of Kat Slater. Lynne was on the soap for four years, from 2000-2004. After her marriage to Garry Hobbs came to an end, Lynne decided there was nothing left for her in Walford anymore, as she left to stay with her aunt Jean Harris.

EastEnders fans 'gobsmacked' as soap airs 'chaotic Christmas Day episode' in May
EastEnders fans were left gobsmacked at the end of today's episode as they claimed the 'duff duff' at the end of the episode was as dramatic as those on a Christmas Day episode It was a chaotic night in Albert Square tonight, as EastEnders fans were left gobsmacked as they witnessed two dramatic showdowns and a scene they thought would be left until Christmas Day. Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) were up first as the former found out his daughter, Avani had slept with Ross' son Joel. Ravi's revelation came as he overheard Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopa l) disclose the information to Avani's mum Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy). As soon as he heard the news, Ravi stormed out of the house running after Joel, who begged "Mr. Gulati" to leave him alone. Ross then pounced on Ravi as he warned him never to come near his son again. Ravi, however is yet to find out that Joel secretly recorded his intimate encounter with Avani. But when he does, fans think it's going to be "the end" for Joel. However, surprisingly that wasn't the most dramatic moment of the night. Cut to the Queen Vic and Kathy and Harvey's affair was exposed by Cindy. The cunning character played a video of the pair kissing for all to see on the screen in the Queen Vic, a scene that fans are comparing Max Branning and Stacey Slater's affair being exposed on Christmas Day 2007. Learning that Cindy had the video during Tuesday's episode, Kathy gave in and agreed to sign over the Albert to Cindy, who promised she'd delete the video. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: "OMG TONIGHT'S DUFF DUFF! It's like Christmas Day all over again," as another said: "Cindy did not play around I'm glad it got exposed finally instead of waiting till Christmas #EastEnders". Another agreed: "looool ok Cindy didn't f**k about there thank GOD i thought that video was gonna be floating around until Christmas #EastEnders." Others couldn't believe how "chaotic" the episode was as they took to Reddit to discuss. "The chaos! The chaos!", exclaimed one. "As if Ross could take Ravi though," while another penned: "That episode was just chaos, what is going on?" The dramatic scenes in the Vic come after Jean proposed to Harvey. The two were in the Vic celebrating their very short lived engagement before Cindy came to drop the bomb. Following the revelations, fans have been left concerned for Jean as they worry how it's going to affect her mental health. Following yesterday's episode, one fan wrote: "Now we know Harvey's secret is at risk of coming to light thanks to Cindy - I just hope this doesn't lead towards Jean having another manic episode especially when tensions are so fragile between the Slaters right now." Fans will have to wait until tomorrow to see how the drama unfolds... EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
