. I'm actually a bit shocked. Wait, are the Masood's muslim? They have mentioned it in about a year.
Masood was even dressed up as Santa last week!
As Shabnam is wearing a head scarf does that mean we're getting more of the 'I'm a good Muslim' monotony that we got off Syed. She never wore a scarf before, why they giving her one now?
Will be interesting to see what changed her mind and led her to embrace Muslim culture...I mean she left to do just that so I guess it makes sense and its more interesting than the old pole-dancing Shabnam...we had AJ as the 'rebel' and that was dull as dishwater.

And Syed of course Actually Masood nearly had an affair and ate during Ramadan then got divorced from Zainab, then Tamwar separated/got divorced. So none of them are really 'good' Muslims.
Looks like going to Pakistan has made her get in touch with her religious side. Mind you I know a few Muslim women through friends who only wear the hijab for fashion and not because the Quran tells them to cover themselves.
Last time we saw Shabnam she wasn't sure what she wanted to be and was torn between western modern culture and her traditional Muslim roots. Its going to be interesting finding out exactly what happened in Pakistan with Shabnam and why she is back in London. Nitin hinted at a dark storyline. After he made Syed the first gay Muslim I think we can put faith in DTC to be brave.
I hope they portray her as a decent character. The headscarve in Islam is a respected piece of garment. I hope they don't portray her like the little good girl in Citizan Khan who only wears the scarve in front of daddy.
I can imagine her being quite brash and ballsy like zainab. She will probably have a problemw with Sayed sexuality, Masood carrying on with different women etc
Or maybe arranged/forced marriage which will be a good storyline as it is quite common in asian culture

I'm sure she must know, Zainabs been in Pakistan and keeps in contact. Although I do remember Syed speaking to Shabnam over the phone on his wedding day, so she must have known what is going on now. Maybe they may bring her in as a strong muslim woman with islamic beliefs.. but this is Eastenders so maybe she will rip off the scarf and start having shots with Roxy in the vic

I dont think that will happen but I dont want to see Shabnam isolated- I wonder what she will think of Carol and Masood?

She wont approve of Carol, she is bound to take the whole kids by different fathers thing badly now despite her past. I do wonder if she will be isolated too
Will Shabnam actually have any friends on the Square? I guess if they bring back Carly again...? Who else is around her age? Danny? Cant see them being friends...
I get the feeling she is going to be Zainab mark 2 as TPTB feel the Masoods have been lacking since Zee left and want to bring that dynamic back. Plus I think they said in the press release she would be her mother's daughter much more now.
As NeutronstarNeko said in their post, she is all set to get a personality transplant and become as obnoxious as her mum, judging by the "chip off the old block" line in the publicity blurb..

I don't think Carol & Masood are going to last. It is inevitable that Carol & David will get together. Just like Max Tanya, cancer support etc.
With no more AJ, it just leaves Masood & Tamwar. I think Shabnam is going to be like Zainab. I can imagine her moaning at Mas & Tam about cleaning the house, cooking, Shopping etc. I don't see any interaction for her though as other people have mentioned. Hopefully DTC has big plans and she will intergrate more on the square. I'm glad Masoods are being explored, one of my favourite families and I have said it many times EE is lacking culture.
I have a feeling Zainab will return though, she has already hinted she would come back.. watch this space
I hope her secrets good, if it's something to do with baby or sexuality that will be disappointing.
I think it might be, she was female rights campaigner in Pakistan and was involved in protests and was involved something that killed someone.
Does anyone remember when Chelsea was teaching Shabnam how to pole dance all those years ago in the RnR, with Zainab walking in on them? Haha, funny times. Thought I'd provide some sort of flashback

I thought similar story to that as well..or she was helping in an Aid project and someone died, could be partly her fault but she feels totally responsible

Is Shabnam aware of Syed's sexuality?

When is Shabnam supposed to be on our screens again? Look forward to it
She wont approve of Carol, she is bound to take the whole kids by different fathers thing badly now despite her past. I do wonder if she will be isolated too
I think all traces of the girl who used to party with Dawn will erased - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hf_BjfMT1Y

Yes. and Tamwar did a home video for Shabnam including Syed - this was just after Christian and Syed got together properly.
