The Secret of Shabs

Anyone have any thoughts on what Shabnam's secret in EastEnders is and how she got the money?

I don't believe what she said about inherited. If that was true then she would have offered itch earlier when Masoods had money troubles or she could have used it or invested it. I think it's recent.

I have a feeling it's money from a sleeper terrorist cell. She's the treasurer. And she is in charge of it until they attack. I still feel she was radicalised.

    Didn't she become a pharmacist or wanted to be one or something? I think it may be something drug related

    You may have a point there. Pharmacists, drugs, money, Pakistan, over the top Muslim. She could be building a bio bomb. Chemical

    Little extreme and not the point I was getting at, haha. I meant with her working in a pharmacy she'd have access to stuff and may be selling it.

    Her secret might not be anything to do with the money. That could be like a red herring of her secret so I still don't have a clue

    I'm still thinking she has issues with food, ages ago when she went mad at Sharon for letting Denny buy sweets and chocolates and how fattening it was was a hint I reckon.

    Not particularly successfully then as Tam's Birthday seems to have broken it :kitty:

    The drugs theory is interesting......particularly because of the drugs found in Lucy's jewellery box and we haven't yet found out who supplied them.

    Did she take money from Lucy's wallet instead following a deal? Shabnam may have followed Lucy and come across the body?

    But maybe as Masoods mother only died a few months ago the will may have only just been sorted and the money is from where she says it is...:)

    Surely Syed should've had a share of the money anyway if Shabnam was doing things properly.
    I personally think she isn't telling the truth over the inheritance, she seemed very intent that Tamwar should leave the home and go to uni, almost too pushy imo.

    Shabnam is Lucy's killer. She was supplying her with drugs and when Lucy ran out of money and threatened to blow the whistle on her, Shabnam murdered her. Very calmly, very calculated. Nothing gets in the way of Shabnam.

    There is a reason that Shabs has returned to the square as an innocent devout religious nut (on the outside). It obvious she isnt as she seems.

    I thought she married someone so they could get access to the uk and they paid her for their passport??

    They found cocaine in Lucy's possessions. Shabz is a qualified pharmacist, true, but the process of making cocaine isn't something she'd be able to do in the UK. Firstly theres the problem of sourcing the leaves, then there's the laborious process of extraction.

    BIB - And what happens when terrorists ask her where the money is? I doubt they'd be too pleased if she said she gave it away on a whim because her brother needed cheering up on his birthday

    This! I don't think she's a terrorist. If she is I think the BBC will be inundated with complaints and even a street protest. I think she probably has inherited some money but what about the others in the family? I love Shabnam she's very well played by the actress who is good at subtleties.
