ray and bianca had a relationship when she was living in manchester, and he fell in love with her but it ended when she met tony king and stole money from ray. bianca never told ray that she had become pregnant by him. a source from "eastenders" confirmed: "ray hasn't seen bianca for years and they didn't part on good terms. he meets whitney as he has matters with bianca that are unresolved. but ray gets the shock of his life when whitney tells him all about morgan—and she soon realises that ray knew nothing about his son." ray's introduction to "eastenders" was said to fill "another piece of the puzzle" of bianca's life, as previously nothing about morgan's paternity was known. the relationship between ray and bianca was described as "fraught". venn described the relationship as "fiery" and explained that ray respects bianca, and said that there was a possibility of them reuniting. venn told "all about soap" that when ray meets morgan for the first time, he has mixed emotions because although he has met his son, morgan does not know who he is, and thinks he is meeting barack obama. venn opined that it would be "cathartic" for ray, saying he would be sad as he has missed out on seven years of morgan's life, and said that when they first meet, "it's a lovely moment [for] the two of them". an "eastenders" insider explained that ray is desperate to be a part of morgan's life, and would do whatever it takes to be with him, even move to albert square, where morgan's family are. venn opined that ray would strive to be a good father, saying "[he]'d take his parental responsibilities very seriously". after bianca goes to prison in may 2012, venn told "inside soap" that "ray will do everything in his power to keep morgan in his life".
