[edit] Character
[edit] Joey Henderson
She knows Joey Henderson from their days in nursing training together, it appears they share a love for gruesome complicated surgeries and they also seem to be quite smitten with each other. She has had a crush on Joey since they first meet at Nursing School but was always too shy to ask him out.[1][2]
Morgan and Joey had lunch at the I.V after being setup by Joey's flatmates/friends Gerald Tippett and Kieran Mitchell, during this time she told Joey about how she draws graphic novels about her alter ego Lily Scorpion. Later on at El Rancho while showing off her drawings she sadly mentioned that her mother had died in a car accident, but she closed up when he asked how long ago it happened and rushed out of El Rancho saying "I'm not gonna talk about this stuff with you, quit trying!" leaving a bewildered Joey behind. Meanwhile the next day they made up, and Joey nervously asked Morgan round to his place that night. Later at El Rancho, Morgan showed Joey more of her drawings and Joey even got up the courage to show her some of his anatomical sketches (while getting his sketches he struggled against his inner-thoughts to strangle her with the piece of rope he had in his grasp, but he stopped himself) she expressed her love of the sketches and Joey was flattered. It become obvious that Morgan expected Joey to make a move, and he kissed her and she innocently said "I really want us to make love", Joey then seemed to panic at the thought.
On the night of the 13/14 February, Joey and Morgan almost had sex however Joey was quite reluctant about it and got angry afterwards. The next day she was thought to be missing when her flatmate revealed she hadn't been home for a few days, Lara Wade was called to investigate the disappearance and she interviewed Joey, Kieran and Gerald but nothing was to come of this as Morgan turned up at the hospital and revealed that she'd gone away for a short break at a holiday bach for her days off work.Shortly after Joey ended their relationship but insisted he still wants them to be friends.
On February 27, 2008, Lara Wade questioned Morgan about her date with Joey before warning her to be careful around Joey and to not be left alone with him. Two days later she tried to get Joey to reconsider ending their relationship while they were out nightclubbing with Tania, Alice and Shanti.
After finding out Joey was the The Ferndale Strangler she was shown in the hospital staffroom looking at a drawing of Joey. After Joey's death on March 5, 2008 she began to believe that she could have been able to save him if they had started dating when they first meet while training to become nurses. Morgan has not been seen since the 5th of mMarch having abruptly left Ferndale to forget about Joey.
[edit] Return to Ferndale
Morgan made a surprise return to Ferndale in May. She turned up at El Rancho to buy pictures drawn by Joey that Kieran sells on the internet.[3]
After a rocky start back, Morgan has settled back in Ferndale and bonded with Gerald Tippett On May 16, 2008, she made an embarrassing mistake during a conversation with Gerald by suggesting they should have no-strings-attached casual sex. Morgan was paired with Gerald by Kieran when he invited them to join him and Libby at rave where ecstasy was consumed by Kieran, Morgan and later Gerald. Morgan and Gerald were on a high and kissing passionately leading to possible relationship.
