I'm so annoyed that the Masood family are so quiet!! Nitin Ganatra is a talented actor and I hope he has big storylines in 2015. I loved his rebellious storyline in January 2014 but we hardly saw Masood this year

I LOVE Shabnam! I cannot wait to find out her secret but she deserves to be a prominent character in 2015.

Anyway back on topic, would you like to see Zainab come back to Walford? I feel the Masoods need Zainab. Zainab was the backbone of the Masood family and she was a true matriarch of the family in my opinion. Nina Wadia is such a talented actress and I was so gutted when Zainab departed EastEnders in February 2013.

i'm indifferent to Zainab. She was a little intense at times but funny. i think a better way to go would be to introduce a new 'strong' addition to the Massood clan rather than bring back Zainab. Mas, Tamwar and Shabnab are all a little tame, need somebody loud to balance that out and create the dramatic plots.

Yes but only if they have a decent story for her. I'd shoot the telly if she came back to win Mas from Jane or Carol's clutches.

Love Zainab! She injected life into the Masoods and it would be great to have her back. I'd love to see her and Shabnam nagging Mas and Tamwar.

No and the rest of the massods should leave too. Their time is done, and mas nor tambore have had a storyline for months. Just get rid and that awful shabnam.

Yes, of all the recent departures, I think she's the one who's presence I miss the most. Her screen family are all worthwhile characters but Zainab made that family as good as it was, and without her it does feel like their endlessly treading water. I'd take Zainab back anyday, though other than that, I think there have been enough returnees for while!

I think a return from her is due now. Great character and anybody that can stop Masood fawning over Jane is welcomed.

I'm really not that bothered. I like the actress but the character was pretty vile, let's be honest. On the other hand, she really carried the Masoods, and they are pointless without her.

Yes!!! The Masood's are lost without Zainab!

Nina Wadia said she'd return if asked, so DTC would be silly to not ask her back!

YES!

Zainab is a fantastic character AND she is hilarious as well.

I would love to see her and Shabnam together and I imagine Denise would be better off with Zainab by her side.

Yes 150%!!! Zainab's return I think is the most needed on Eastenders currently

YES!

They need her back. Syed should come back too as we've never seen Syed and Shabnam in a scene together!

I loved Zainab, and while I would like to see her return, it would have to be for the right story. Mas and Zee split up for a reason, so having them randomly reunite or be thrown into a love triangle with Carol or Jane would be pathetic. But, a guest stint would work.

The Masoods as a family should be able to survive without Zainab - if that's not possible, then they're not well defined characters to begin with. I think Mas/Tamwar/Shabnam are interesting characters, and have the capacity to survive without Zainab - they just need DTC to invest in them, develop them, and give them an interesting story that would utilise them all in a positive way.

How would Zainab "save" the Masoods? How would she make Mas relevant again, or give Tamwar a story that we haven't already seen before? All the family needs is clear direction and decent writing; the rest is already there.

Zainab has a new husband now, so it could be interesting seeing how they all interact now.

Either way, maybe a new Asian family?

Kirkwood almost destroyed the Masoods but Shabnam has been a fantastic addition, so there's hope for them yet.

I would love to see Zainab back.
