Little Mo leaving??

[BlackKat]

Haven't seen this anywhere else, but sorry if it's been posted.

Was reading The Sun's article for last night's NTAs here (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005490572,00.html) and it said this:

Little Mo is ready to go

KACEY Ainsworth, who plays Little Mo in EastEnders, sensationally revealed she is quitting the soap.

The actress, 35, told BBC bosses she wanted to end her five-year stint before fans tired of her.

Kacey took a break last year to give birth to daughter Blossom — and she is tipped to play a nanny in US show Desperate Housewives.

An insider last night said: “Kacey’s contract finishes in March and she intends to leave.”

I thought she'd just signed a new contract - or was that just a rumour? :searchme: And wasn't the Desperate Housewives rumour denied by the producers of that show? *is confused*

Maybe she signed a 6 month contract then because I thought the desperate housewives rumour was denied and that she signed a new contract at eastenders :confused:

There was a report in The Mirror saying she had signed a new contract, and now this report in The Sun saying she is quitting. Which paper would be more reliable when it comes to stuff on EastEnders? Neither reports are confirmations though, just newspapers reporting what a source told them. The only way we will know the truth is when Kacey herself says she is leaving/staying or when/if we here something from the BBC. Anything other than that is just rumor.

i'm a bit confused i thought she'd signed a 1 year contract!

There was no confirmation of this. I found the report on The Mirror website about her staying.

EXCLUSIVE: KACEY TO STAY AS LITTLE MO
Exclusive By Fiona Cummins
EASTENDER Kacey Ainsworth has signed a £150,000 one-year deal with the soap.

BBC bosses are thrilled they have persuaded Kacey, 34, to carry on as Little Mo.

One show insider revealed: "It's been gloomy in Albert Square lately with big names leaving.

"But everyone is just overjoyed Kacey is staying. Viewers really love Little Mo."

Kacey, who took a break last year after giving birth to daughter Blossom, had been tipped to play a nanny in US series Desperate Housewives.

Nigel Harman (Dennis Rickman), Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie (Kat and Alfie Moon) will all leave Albert Square soon.

A show insider is not confirmation. Confirmation will only come from the BBC.

The Sun article makes it sound like Kacey revealed it at the awards last night, but there's no quote from her. Didn't Shane reveal he was leaving at an award show (The BSAs I think) before the official confirmation? But I'm pretty sure the report on that had him quoted. :searchme:

well shane said at the bsa's earlier this year that kacey had been approached by Desperate Housewives, but i thought that this turned out to be a joke started by shane himself!?

Yes from the article it does seem like Kacey has announced it. But what I find strange is that Tina Baker didn't mention it on GMTV this morning. She said that she'd be revealing all in tomorrows episode. But to make sure the viewers watched it, she told us about Sonia being involved in a lesbian storyline, don't you think Kacey quitting would have raised a few eyebrows?! and have been more important than that?

Unless I missed something, and Kacey's departure was talked about in any of the morning shows today. Because I didn't see it all.

Before fans tire of her i already am tired of her.

With Kat and her going i think EE need to bring in Belinda. Then the Slaters would have her and Stacey or even bring back Lynn.

yeah she is boring me with her miserable whining so she no real loss
