Laila Morse Career

At the age of 51, Morse made her professional acting debut in the 1997 film Nil by Mouth. The BAFTA-winning film also marked the debut of her brother Gary, as a writer and director.

Morse’s portrayal of the matriarch earned her the ‘Most Promising Newcomer in any Category’ award at the British Independent Film Awards.

Morse made her television debut in two episodes of The Bill, which was followed by a regular role as Honky Mum in the BBC sitcom Honky Sausages and the character Molly in the 1999 television adaptation of Great Expectations. In 2000, Morse played Laila in the film Love, Honour, and Obey.

In the same year, she made her first appearance as Mo Harris in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. Her first scene in the BBC soap opera was with Pam St Clement, who played Pat Butcher.

A couple of weeks later, a television critic said that Morse had acted like “a lump of cardboard”. Recalling the article, Morse replied: “I daresay he was right!

I was bloody petrified.” She admitted that it was only three years later that she started to feel comfortable on set.

Morse temporarily left EastEnders in January 2016, after appearing on a recurring basis since July 2012. In June 2017, Morse expressed interest in returning to EastEnders as she felt that she never “officially left”. In December 2017, it was announced that Morse would be returning to the show to play Mo.

Morse made a return to film when she appeared as Aunt Queenie in the film Big Fat Gypsy Gangster, written, produced, and starring Ricky Grover.

She made her pantomime debut as the Fairy in a production of Jack and the Beanstalk. In 2019, Morse appeared as a BPRD employee in Hellboy. In 2021, it was announced that Morse was leaving EastEnders when her contract ended.

Other projects

Morse appeared in the seventh series of ITV’s celebrity edition skating show Dancing on Ice in January 2012. She also published her autobiography, Just A Mo, in which she detailed her troubled love life, including men who beat and betrayed her, as well as her love story to a man she knew and fell in love with again some twenty-five years later.

In November 2013, Morse participated in the thirteenth series of an I’m Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and was the second participant to be voted out of the series on 2 December. It was announced in June 2016 that she would be appearing on the BBC series Celebrity Masterchef.

Alexis Conran won the series.
