Morgan Butcher (née Jackson-King, also Jackson) is the son of Bianca Jackson and Ray Dixon, although Morgan views Bianca’s ex husband and father of his siblings Ricky Butcher as his dad. He is also the brother of Whitney, Liam, Sasha and Tiffany.


Storylines[]

Morgan first appears when his family (mother, Bianca and siblings Whitney, Liam and Tiffany) are evicted by their landlord for failure to pay rent. They sleep that night in a bus shelter, and are taken into care the next day after Bianca is arrested for assaulting a police officer. The children return to Bianca a week later, moving into Bianca’s grandmother Pat Evans' home, although Whitney is initially angry with Bianca for letting them down.

It is revealed that Bianca met her imprisoned boyfriend Tony King in 2004, when she was expecting her youngest child, Morgan - who even called Tony “daddy”. Whitney warmed up to Tony when he helped her remove a ribbon, which was stuck in her hair. From then on, Tony groomed 12-year-old Whitney and they started a sexual relationship behind Bianca's back. However in 2008 the truth was revealed and Tony was arrested and sent to prison. Bianca started a relationship with former lover and father of her children Ricky Butcher - who she later went on to marry. After their marriage, Bianca changes Morgan’s surname to “Butcher” as Ricky is the only father Morgan now knows.

In January 2012, Morgan starts asking questions about who his father is, to which his mother Bianca replies that his father is Barack Obama. Knowing the truth, Whitney secretly takes Morgan to see Ray Dixon, his real father. Ray did not know that Morgan existed and is delighted to meet his son. However, Whitney pleads with Morgan not tell Bianca that he has met his father. Ray soon turns up in Walford to see Morgan, and Bianca tries to hide Morgan from him, but soon realises that they have already met. She wants Ray to have nothing to do with Morgan until Whitney convinces her otherwise and they spend time together. Bianca allows Ray to cook a meal for the family but tells him to leave when he mentions his daughter, Sasha Dixon. Morgan meets Sasha but Bianca is furious when she finds out.

Realising that Bianca is having some difficulties with her money, Tiffany and Morgan go to see their step great-grandmother Dot Branning at the laundrette for advice. She tells them that when she had problems as a child, she felt better after being given a bath. Tiffany and Morgan then decide to run a bath for Bianca but accidentally leave the taps on when they go out. When they get home, the bath has overflowed and is leaking into the living room. Bianca is later caught stealing money and returns to prison, but this time located in Suffolk. Morgan then moves to Suffolk with the rest of his family to be near his mother, leaving Ray in Walford.

Morgan returns for Ricky's sister Janine's wedding to Michael Moon, along with Ricky, Tiffany and Ricky's sister Diane Butcher. Ricky and Ray argue over Morgan, but eventually reconcile, before Ricky leaves with Morgan again. Morgan then moves back to Walford with his family for when his mother is released from prison, however he is saddened when Ray moves away. Due to Ricky and Bianca splitting up, Morgan is not pleased when Bianca returns from a trip to Manchester and announces that her new boyfriend, Terry Spraggan and his children, TJ and Rosie are moving in.

Morgan left Walford in September 2014 after moving to Milton Keynes with Bianca, Tiffany, Terry, TJ, Rosie and TJ's daughter Beth. His brother Liam went to live in Germany with Ricky and his girlfriend Cindy (who is Beth's mother). In 2016, Morgan and Tiffany return to Walford for Whitney’s wedding to Lee Carter.

On 5 March 2024, Bianca mentions that Morgan is besotted by his new girlfriend.
