Little Mo Mitchell<\/h3>
Maureen \u201cLittle Mo\u201d Slater (also Mitchell and Morgan) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Kacey Ainsworth from 18 September 2000 to 26 May 2006. Named after her loud, wayward grandmother, Little Mo couldn't have been more opposite. She was a very 'mousy' character, often shy, and immensely kind-hearted despite all the pain she went through.\n<\/p>
Little Mo originally appeared with a turbulent marriage with her abusive husband Trevor Morgan (Alex Ferns), but she fought back at Trevor - leading to her arrest in 2002; she is later released and Trevor's campaign against her ends with his death on 1 November 2002. Following Trevor's death, Little Mo proceeds to marry his sworn enemy Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) - who had grown to care and bond with Little Mo during her ordeal. However, their marriage ends after she gets raped by her friend Graham Foster (Alex McSweeney) and discovers she is pregnant by him; the storyline that signals the end of Little Mo's marriage with Billy contributes to Ainsworth's maternity leave in 2004. The character soon reappeared with her baby son, Freddie (Alex and Tom Kilby), and later embarks on an affair with her brother-in-law Alfie Moon (Shane Ritchie) - which is later discovered by her sister and Alfie's wife Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace). Later on, Little Mo develops a relationship with habitual doctor Oliver Cousins (Tom Ellis) - though they soon break-up when she is accused of hurting Freddie. However, while her family and friends suspect Little Mo to have hurt her son, the real culprit is revealed to be Billy's little cousin Ben (Charlie Jones). After breaking up with Oliver and finding herself subjugated to accusations from her local community, Little Mo leaves Walford in May 2006; with the character being written out of the series in the process.\n<\/p>
Little Mo first arrived on Albert Square with her family on 18 September 2000. They are later joined by Little Mo's estranged husband Trevor Morgan (Alex Ferns), a handyman who surprises Little Mo with his arrival just days before they celebrate Christmas that year. It is at this point where it becomes clear that Trevor is abusive towards Little Mo, as his severe mood swings strains their marriage as a result of his physical and emotional violence. This is further evident when Little Mo tries to leave her husband, but he deceives her into staying with him and proceeds to isolates his wife from her family - who despite Trevor due to his abusive nature. She always forgives him and even agrees to start a family. However, when he rapes her after she buys a hat to wear to her sister Lynne Hobbs' (Elaine Lordan) wedding which he has forbidden her from attending, she realizes she cannot bring a child into such an environment and goes back on the contraceptive pill. She finally leaves Trevor when she discovers he had deleted a message from Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), who has run away from home. Eventually, Little Mo attacks Trevor, hitting him with an iron when he attacks her. She goes home thinking he is dead, but when she and her sisters return to the scene, he is gone. Little Mo is prosecuted and found guilty of attempted murder but is released after Trevor does a deal with the Slaters: he will not give evidence against Mo if her sister, Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) does not press charges for him assaulting her.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
