I would love to see that .... : )”
Thanks

. I think it could be an interesting step towards repairing Masood's relationships with them.

I'm not sure whether Syed would be overly worried about Qadim being around his daughter. I know Qadim's volatile but I'm sure he wouldn't ever hurt his grandchild, the only reason he'd hurt someone is if they've wronged him in some way.
It would be good if they went to the police about Christian's attack though, but then Qadim might blackmail them into not saying anything. I'd love it if the attack came up again, it seems a bit odd that it was casually mentioned just before ABRC, almost as though it was just refreshing people's memories
.
Masood was in the chip shop when Qadim left the flat, but he may have seen them driving away?
I'd give you constructive criticism
I'm sure it'll be great though!

. I'm not so sure, I think Syed -& Christian too- would worry about Quadim and his influence, his world, his thugs, being around his child. What happens if/when his daughter steps out of line, in Quadim's eyes (/jumping a bit ahead there

). There's only so much he can do about that though

.
I agree though it would be great if they went to the police about Christian's attack!
Thanks for the info about Masood and what he saw.

I think that could play a huge part in all this. I never believed Zainab the first time around when she said she wished Qadim had finished the job - the pause before she said it, the lack of conviction, told me that it was bravado and front rather than really wishing Christian dead - but she's completely not herself at the minute. Her mind is a mess, and she is at the mercy of Yusef and whatever he tells her whilst she is under the influence of those pills[/b].
[b]It's a dangerous time, for Chryed and the Masoods. They're being manipulated and twisted and they don't even realise (I don't think Masood even knows the full extent of it)”

. Very true, good description of Zainab's situation, she is going to be very vulnerable, especially if she's wondering if she's newly attached to Yusef again soon (grrr). Very different to the no nonsense Zainab of old who unquestionably knew her own mind!
The Masoods had better come out of this danger intact too -I don't want any Masoods killed off for the sake of this story!
