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!?

just found this on a site and was gonna post!


Kacey Ainsworth has revealed she is quitting 'EastEnders' " and may star in US hit 'Desperate Housewives'.

The actress " who plays Little Mo in the soap opera " reportedly told BBC bosses she has decided to leave before fans grew tired of her.

The star, who has been playing the character for almost five years, is now hotly-tipped to play a nanny in American drama 'Desperate Housewives'.

An insider told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Kacey's contract finishes in March and she intends to leave."
Earlier this month, it was reported the 35-year-old brunette " who took a career break to have her daughter Blossom last year - had signed a £150,000 one-year deal to stay in the soap.

Little mo can't go she is a great character :crying:

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

well thr rumours are over because it is true she leaves in march say's sharon marshall on 'this morning'

moving to spoilers...

there will be no slaters left!

does that mean we are only left with stacey, charlie and mo???

But we got told that she was staying

all the original slater girls have gone now

well i think its the end of the line for the slaters,
i just get a bad feeling they will eventually kill charlie off with a heart attack.

I won't miss her - sorry!!

closing thread :)

Good luck to Kacey in the future!

I must admit, I'm getting a bit fed up with all the people leaving though -- it seems there'll be hardly anyone left. :( I know they've got lots of new characters coming in, but honestly out of the ones we've got so far Dawn is the only one I think that could carry a big storyline. They've not got much time to get the leaving storylines sorted out and to build up the new characters enough so that there isn't a huge vacuum.

honey and jack (emma barton and david essex)

oh right thanks

I hope it isn't true. Kacey Ainsworth is a fantastic actress and in recent months has been underused. Although you have to think where else can they take the character unless the bring in a new love interest for her. Either that or she gets back with Billy.

I agree, however alot of the new actors coming in (Phil Daniels and David Essex) are proven excellent actors. It remains to be seen whether the scrip-writers do them justice by writing good storylines and scripts. We wait and see

Yeah!! I can see it happening!!

Good luck to Kacey in the future :)

bring bell back so sshe can seduce ian or minty :lol:

Previously I have thought that Mo should stay, but I've changed my mind.

The reason I say this is because the writers have made a complete mess of Mo as a character. I loved her as the abused wife, meek, mild and scared. She was mentally and physically abused, as well as being raped by Trevor. Then she stood up to him. She became stronger. Then she was raped by Graham. She became a victim again, and the meek, mild Mo was back. Then she got with Alfie, and all character development went out the window. She annoys me no end now, and I don't think I will ever like her again.

Kacey is a good actress but the only times I have seen her really shine were her scenes with Alex (Trevor). They were amazing.

I wonder how she will leave?

I dont know how many Slaters are going to be left, there has been rumors of all of them leaving at one time or another.

I'm worried about what will happen with Stacey. Lacey is a gem and is a real asset to the show. With Lynne, Zoe, Kat and now Mo going, what will happen with Stacey? She has got Charlie and Big Mo, but they have no real storylines anymore. I reckon they should get rid of Charlie and Big Mo and then move Stacey and Ruby (if she is staying) into a flat together. Charlie and Big Mo are boring and will just drag the wonderful Stacey (and Lacey) down.

I think they'll either have a rather decreased Slater family - Mo, Charlie, Stacey and Ruby as an honourary member. Or Mo and Charlie will be off, and Ruby and Stacey will be flatmates.

I'd actually quite like to see how Mo and Charlie would cope with living with two teenage girls, and no people like Kat and Little Mo to step in on their behalf. Plus with Charlie always saying he's let his girls down, and it's his fault they've turned out the way they have, it would be quite nice for him to get a second chance at being a better "father" to Stacey and Ruby.

so it is true now she is actually leaving!! fab no more miserable mo around the square hooray!

aw i like little mo :( ill miss her.. but like someone said shes a good actress and will probably do well in the future

I think it was obvious she was gonna leave soon enough, she is very talented and has used EE as a stepping stone, she will go far good luck to her, she must get a bit sick and tired playing a character who is always crying and never having any luck in life! I think its about time she moved on, gonna miss her loads though, she brought some fab storylines to life and she wont be forgotton for the whole "domestic violence" storyline!

well i will be glad that she is going.

I'm very sad that Kacey Ainsworth is going, she's a brilliant actress, and her character of Little Mo is endearing. I was hoping Little Mo and Billy would get back together, they're great. It's such a shame that they won't have a happy ending. As far as I know Perry Fenwick is very happy in Eastenders, so I can't see him leaving anytime soon.

I bet Billy will be heartbroken when she leaves. I wonder how they will write her out. I hope it's a happy ending. If she can't be with Billy, then it would be nice for her to meet another special man. I can't really think of anybody, maybe a new character.

Hmm, I wonder how they will write her out. Mo is not the type to just disappear somewhere, like Kat, so maybe they might decide to kill her off. She might meet a new man, but she just does not seem the type to just leave like that, especially as she would know how Charlie would feel about it, and especially just for a man.

True, if she left with a man, Charlie may think the guy was trying to control her like Trevor did. I don't think the family would let that happen again. And I also think Little Mo has grown a bit more streetwise, since all the events that have happened to her. People can look nice from the outside but things can go wrong. And she won't have her family to turn to, if she's away from Walford. As well as that, she loves Freddie more than anything in the world, and she'll want to make sure that the man she's with cares about him too.

I don't think they'd kill Little Mo off, it would be too tragic. It would leave Freddie without a mum. Who would look after him? I suppose Charlie would step up, but he's quite old, it's a big responsibility. Freddie's god parents are Zoe and Alfie, it would be a bit awkward to leave him with either of them. I think if Alfie was with they would be the best to raise him. Although they would be taking him away from Walford.
