Harold "Harry" Slater, played by Michael Elphick, is the younger brother of Charlie Slater (Derek Martin) and uncle of Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) whom he raped when she was a child.
Harry groomed Kat as a child and it is later revealed that he had raped her when she was 13 years old and therefore Kat became pregnant with Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan). Zoe is initially presented as Kat's sister but she is in fact Kat and Harry's daughter. Charlie didn't know the father was Harry so he decided to raise Zoe as his own daughter and Kat had to become her sister. Harry fled to Spain soon after the incident and didn't reappear until the death of his sister, Violet, in 1988. After Violet's funeral, Harry quickly left again.
