'EastEnders' Morgan: Who's the Daddy?
Published Saturday, Jul 5 2008, 08:00 BST | By Kris Green | 22 comments
As we know, Bianca Jackson turned up earlier in the year with her brood of four children: Whitney (Shona McGarty), Liam (James Forde), Tiffany (Maisie Smith) and Morgan (Devon Higgs), who's mixed-race.
Whitney and half-sister Tiffany's father, Nathan, died in a car crash; Liam's father is Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen); and Bianca's telling everyone that Tony - her currently imprisoned boyfriend - is Morgan's father.
However, with the news that Chris Coghill has been cast in the role of Tony, it soon becomes clear to the residents of Walford that Morgan isn't his child at all.
A Walford source confirmed: "Tony isn't Morgan's father and the reasons behind the cover up will be revealed pretty soon after Tony's arrival."
Let me know your thoughts on Chris Coghill's casting and the paternity of Morgan using the usual form below!

I think its Whitney's baby and then Tony might take all his anger out on her.

How can Whitney and Tiffany be half sisters if Whitneys dad is Tony and you say its Nathan that would mean Bianca is both their mums and she is only Tiffanys

I think that Morgan was adopted or Bianca was a surrogate mother and ran off off with little Morgan.

Maybe he just adopted Morgan as his 'real' father doesn't want to know?

Here we go again - soaps copying each others story - Corrie has the same one with the "kebab" family... could Katie (Emmerdale) end up with a mixed race baby - or do you think it could have "confused gender issues" ... and dormant DNA from Rosemary's fling with the butler (Gray's real farther!!)

I think Bianca cheated on Tony with another man but he stood by her and vented all his anger on poor Whitney.

Maybe Morgan is adopted? But it is possible that Bianca cheated on Tony and he gets revenge by targeting Whitney.

Should be a good storyline. Bianca has fitted in quite well again.

Well, I like the Jackson family and I really don't know what they could plan about Morgan's paternity. Who is the real dad of Morgan? The Square will gossip when they'll understand that Tony is - isn't - Morgan's father... And with what they're planning for his character, he will hit the roof!

I like Bianca and her brood, they kind of grow on you. But does anyone really care who's the dad?
