Get Zahra Ahmadi back or recast

I bet zahra was kicking herself after she left because the Masoods were getting a slow introduction to the show. Months later they had some of the best SL going.

No - if she couldn't come back when her brother got burnt, when Zainab was being abused, when Syed and Christian got married or when Tamwar and Amira got married, what would be the point now?

I actually think the Masood's are pretty much a defunct family unit now - Zainab was a matriarch and she kept that family together, despite making some very silly mistakes. She controlled things, and that's how we've always known it, and without that, it's just two very silly boys and a nerd living in a house - a sitcom, perhaps?

I like Masood - he's a good guy - but I don't think the other two have a place.

Unfortunately, methinks it's more likely that they phase out the Masoods over time now. They're slowly trickling out of the Square: Shabnam, Syed, Zainab, Afia... then there were 3!

Agreed.

I would prefer to see Tamwar leave, though!

The time isnt right now. I feel like if ever the time was right it was before Zainab accepted Syed as gay - Shabnam coming back as a gay rights activist after seeing people imprisoned in Pakistan for being gay etc...

Right now I think the 3 Masoods should leave.

I can actually see him leaving soon. EE are just not giving him any good storylines lately. Yeah, he got the job on the market and eventually got mugged. But other than that, I feel his character is a waste of time.

I liked her character but the Masoods are a spent force now unfortunately.

I would only keep Masood, he is a good character with a fun fatherly personality!
although does he have any real friends?
or is he just a tag along to the locals?

No. I've always wanted Shabs back but with Zainab gome, the way forward is to focus on the Ahmeds rather than the Masoods.

Masood, AJ and their father Ahmed would make a good unit. And reinvolve Inzaman as a reoccuring character. We need to see AJ's relationship with Inzaman. We also need him to start being developed or he will just end up being like Kim which would be a shame as he isma very capable actor.

They need her back, the Masoods don't work how they are at the moment.

Didn't Zainab go to live with her in Pakistan? Her return now would make Zainab's exit all the more pointless sadly.

The last few returns to the show haven;t been very good at all.

To be honest, I'd rather see new characters than returnees any day so my is no.

This. I don't think any characters should be brought back for the foreseeable future.

I've never understood why people want this return; for me the character was as dull as dishwater the first time around.

the character could have been good when she first started. she was a muslin girl who liked the western way more and the impact it had on her mother could have been a good storyline as there are girls in the same position but the actress' impatience got the better of her. If they do bring the character back which i don't think they will they should recast but with the decline in the masood family i think they will be slowly ebbing out rather then expanding.

Shabnam was never going to be as good a character as Zainab and even if she was recast, she still wouldn't take the place of Zainab because she'd arguably be too nice a character, a bit like Alice but not as naive. With both Zee and Syed gone, the main causes of trouble within the family are no longer there and Shabnam wouldn't fix that.

Bushra was a better character in my view, Shabnam was likeable but little more.

Zainab wouldn't take Kamil so far away from his father indefinately, so I think she was just visiting family for a while before returning to the UK, like Christian took Syed to visit his family in the US before returning to the UK to be near Yasmin.

I think she is the only thing that could save the Masoods, other than a Zainab return, of course
