There's glimpses their going down this route and there has been for a while eg her attitude to Shabnams tragic stillbirth

But why I wonder as it seems so unnecessary?

Has Nina Wadia hacked them off at EastEnders HQ? 😕

Yes...next question.

I'm very cross about this . It's been going on for a while, making her out to be a bad mother. She wasn't perfect but she loved her children...and she loved Masood.

I take it as a sign that they don't want her back.

Yes and I am not pleased

Fair enough if Nina was busy and didnt want to return or they just didnt want Zainab to return at the moment, come up with an excuse as to why she couldnt make the wedding or come and support Shabnam, but at least try to make it believable and fit with the character we knew.

I don't agree. Zainab was a fantastic character but she was always horrible to her kids.

Yes they are and I'm very annoyed about it, too.

Zainab was deeply flawed but loved her children very much imo. She was interfering and controlling and yes, could be harsh, but she always came around.

Now they are having Masood come back from Pakistan and say
Spoiler


I think it's a real shame and it's petty, to boot.

I go off DTC more and more each day.

I honestly don't think she'd permanently disown her own family which apparently is were this storyline is heading

We should with Zainabs favourite put downs and quotes unless there had been something we don't know about, Nina has always spoken highly about the show.

I don't know why they haven't asked Nina Wadia to reprise her role as Zainab. She was the matriarch of the Masoods and her family needs her.

I am disgusted at that spoiler. If that's true, then Zainab is ruined

I strongly suspect there is something we don't know about to be honest!

Sounds like a plan and perhaps once we've burst the eardrums of all at Elstree with our wails of protest then we could treat ourselves to a session in a sports bar, have some exotic burger and chips and discreetly admire the hunky barmen 😉😘

Disgraced Eastenders boss DTC doing a right number on a character to suit his fan fiction version of Eastenders? I'm sorry but I just don't believe it.

Oh such naivety cooked in an ocean of cynicism! 😁

I will be VERY angry if Zainab is killed offscreen and making her unlikeable is a stepping stone on the road in that process

Yes It's a wonderful plan it's not the first time I've indulged it! 😉😘

But wasn't she the first to eventually accept him?

Ridiculous if it's the case.

This is the same woman who went from being horrifically homophobic to happily attending her son's same-sex marriage. She would never, ever disown her entire family permanently. Not ever. And why now?! Because her daughter got pregnant out of wedlock? Er, her son's raising her grandchild with his husband... It makes no sense.

I hope there's some sort of twist and she's actually lying about it because of some secret shame (that comes out when she returns at Christmas ).

It's super petty if they're doing it because Nina couldn't return. Marc Elliott didn't return either so they just had Syed in Florida?! Like, it's not difficult to find something without wrecking her character (e.g. couldn't there be bad weather so she missed the flight?!)

Yes so it doesn't mean that that wouldn't happen here. She was always an impulsive Harridon

Perhaps she's being controlled and manipulated by someone Gavin style??

If only Den were alive.

He and Gavin could team up to finally put the Philth six feet under and rule the square like two elderly Sith Lords.
