Trevor Morgan was a fictional character in the BBC soap opera "EastEnders". He was played by Alex Ferns. He first appeared in December 2000, and became a regular cast member the following summer, after moving into Albert Square with his wife Little Mo.

History

His marriage to Mo was violent; he regularly humiliated and beat her despite her attempts to keep him happy. On one occasion, he grabbed Mo's head and rubbed it in her Christmas dinner. He also burnt her hand with an iron after she refused to tell him about the issues in her family. He was apologetic afterwards but it would be a matter of time before he lost his temper.

He often tended to isolate her from her own family which all of whom depised Trevor due to his treatment of Little Mo. The family always tried to persuade Little Mo to leave Trevor alongside refusing to invite him to family gatherings which Trevor would usually forbid Little Mo from going by manipulating her that e was her family. When her father Charlie Slater found out about how Little Mo had hurt her hand with the iron (see above) he stormed into the pub and strangled Trevor behind the bar resulting in Trevor blurting out to the whole pub that Kat had been raped by her uncle Harry Slater and making her and Harry the parents of Zoe Slater.

Onwards Charlie always vowed to kill Trevor or "rip his head off" whenever his treatment of Little Mo reached his ears. Trevor was usually met with hostility whenever he came across any of the family in the square particulary Kat Slater who always slagged him off behind his back and to his face which he rarely didn't give her the same in return and once directly called her a "slapper".

Despite the families strong resentment of Trevor as well as his dislike to the family, Little Mo still stayed with Trevor and he raped her after planned to go to her sister Lynnes wedding and then forbaid her from going. However she left during the Christmas period ( the same Christmas that he rubbed her face into the Christmas dinner) and moved back in with her family. Whilst babysitting for the Fowlers she finally fought back; shortly afterwards, on New Year's Eve 2001, Little Mo battered Trevor over the head with an iron after he tried to violate her again. Mo believed he was dead but when she and her family returned to dispose of Trevor's body, he had gone. Trevor had staggered into an alley, where he collapsed and was found by a passer-by. He reported Little Mo to the police and she was charged with attempted murder. Trevor gave evidence at Little Mo's trial with was very biased in his favour, and despite strong evidence of domestic violence, the jury found her guilty.

Trevor had an affair with a woman called Donna Andrews, and they had a son, Sean, who was born in 2001. Whilst Little Mo was in prison Kat vowed to get her out by trying to persuade Donna to give evidence against Trevor. However when Trevor found out about the contact he broke into the Slaters house whilst the family were out. When Kat came home he intinidated about getting involved in his buisness and he brought an metal iron around with him inviting her to hit him with it. However Kat mangaged to run out of the house with Trevor after her only for the square to team against him asking him to leave.

A few days later he assaulted Donna causing her to to end up in hospital. Kat took the baby Sean back to the Slaters only for Trevor to turn up one evening demanding Sean whilst her and Mo Harris were watching T.V.. Mo hid out the back with Sean whilst Trevor searched the house for Sean. In the kitchen he started smashing plates on the floor to scare Kat but then the baby started crying out resulting in Trevor trying to get out the back but Kat in his way. He battered Kat to the floor ontime for the police to come in and arrest him. Later on Little Mo was released.

Trevor later returned to the Square to spy on Little Mo whilst she was with Billy Mitchell and then started seeing his cousin Sam Mitchell to the disapproval of the Mitchells especially Sam's mother Peggy Mitchell who never liked Trevor as he had worked in the Vic a year previously. However the relationship didn't last as Trevor still had eyes on Little Mo who was filing for divorce. He stayed in a room at the B and B and then tried to manipulate her to come back to him and was caught in the act by Billy and Paul Trueman and he broke into Billys flat. Trevor was thrown out of the B and B which was run by Paul's family and left the square friendless but not before walking into the Vic for the toost of Billy and Little Mo's encagement.

Halloween 2002, he snatched her from the office at e20. Trevor had turned up in disguise as a monster and pretended to be "Donald Andrews". He later started a fire in the Slater family home with Little Mo and Sean inside. Little Mo and Sean were rescued by their neighbour Tom Banks, who, along with Trevor, was killed when he went back into the burning house for Trevor and the flames ignited a can of oil, which resulted in an explosion that rocked the Square.
