Shabnam bulimic storyline
The way she said the was going to gorge on ice cream after having the chocolate, made me wonder if this was foreshadowing Shabnams secret

I wondered whether her comments, especially the ice cream one, had any significance as well.

We're definitely building up quite a few clues towards an eating disorder for Shabnam.
Remember there was a mention of her weight in her character description on the EastEnders? That has now gone, potentially because the story has been delayed for a while. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/prof...shabnam-masood |

That'd be a fantastic idea for Shabnam - I'd love to see how it'd play out.
Loving Shabnam at the moment! |

Did I miss something with the job at the pharmacy? Or has she turned it down and can't bring herself to tell Mas?

I wondered that as well. Has Eastenders ever done a bulimia/anorexia storyline before? Shabnam fits the profile of being quite a control freak and wannabe high achiever . I think the actress could pull it off.

I noticed her poor relationship with food, too. A few weeks ago when, who was it, Denny (?) bought sweets and crisps from the Minute Mart Shabnam rolled her eyes and started talking about obese kids. She seems quite controlled by food.

Yeah. It would be nice for her to become really mean and nasty like she was before then we slowly start to see her softer side due to her bulimia.

I am sure the first time we saw Shabnam when the masoods first arrived it was hinted that she had issues with self harming, there were scars on her arm which Zainab made a sarcastic comment about but then it was never mentioned again

Anything that brings this terrible illness which kills many people each year gets my vote. May not be thrilling viewing but needs to be shown

Is the actress the original Shabnam? If not, does anyone know who the original was?

Unlike many headswaps, the resulting personality change makes sense with Shabnam because she went to Pakistan to connect with her roots. She came back wearing the hijab and disapproving of Masood's relationship with a white woman (Carol). She is a lot 'more Muslim' than she was before. |

No, she's on her second head. The first was played by Zahra Ahmadi and her character was quite different - much more into Western culture and having fun (Zainab caught her poledancing once).

The tension between Chris and Radders is still boiling over I see
Anything that gives Shabnam a story is fine in my book.

I hope that a bulemic storyline is on the cards for Shabnam, whilst I would actually have preferred a story like this for a guy its a story EE haven't ever tackled properly, I seem to recall Mick from the night cafe back in the 90s had a sister called Kim who made herself sick a few times but then the storyline was resolved pretty quickly.
