    I thinks she's improved as an actress.
    I actually liked her as Mel but the character was awfully written into that "screamer girl" sterotype. But when she wasn't screaming she was great in Dr who especially trial of a time lord and delta and the bannermen and dragonfire. The clip from her as a child is just plain awful but she's improved over time.

    Patronising, rude and childish. Ghastly woman.

    She seems fun. Maybe she will be recurring.

    The thing I don't get is that wasn't she married to an Iranian, her reaction to the food and headscarf just didn't seem legit.

    She was funny. I like how Nancy reacted to her. I'm sure Mick and Linda would like her humour.

    I hope they introduce Kush's dad, he sounds interesting.

    Many Iranians living in the UK tend to be more secular/liberal than Pakistani families.

    Yes but she is surely aware of the culture, particularly given Shabnam looks like any girl in Tehran does its not like Shabnam is in a full niqab.

    It's up to the writers what they want the characters to say not the actor

    I get that but the way a character is written is what I'm judging. Not Bonnie.

    I really hope she is a recurring character. I can just handle Bonnie Langford in small doses :(.

    I thought she was better than DVO.

    She reminded me a bit of Peggy crossed with Linda's mum.

    I liked her, I had no opinion on Bonnie Lanford before but she made me laugh a couple of times like correcting Shabnam on her name and then mentioning her husband farting whilst at the dinner table

    It looks like we're going to see a lot more of Carmel. She has her own character page in the EastEnders website.

    It was fun to watch Shabs cringe lol, Carmel brings a lightness to the screen, so hope she sticks around for a while.
