It's a shame Masood is leaving EastEnders

Nitin is lovely but Mas always floundered without a strong female to bounce off. Good luck to him.

I agree, I like Masood but without his family around him the writers don't seem to know what to do with him. Looks like Mas is going to go off travelling then.

That's a shame but Nitin was barely used so it's not surprising that he wants to try new things.

It's sad that by the end of the year, all of the Masoods wiill be gone.

This is for the best as Masood is pretty much deadwood now, as fab as Nitin could be, but the Masoods were my favourite family at their peak and it's sad to see them come to a total end. The writing's been on the wall since Shabnam left though.

I really, REALLY hope they can get Nina back for his exit and Masood and Zainab can be together offscreen, but it seems unlikely. I hope he gets a good exit regardless, but it's kind of difficult to have any sort of impactful exit when all of your loved ones have left.

Such a shame but the character has been floating around aimlessly for a bit now without a family around him

Who is Carmel going to pine over now!?

End of a era, I think he cards was marked once Tamwar left, only a few weeks ago someone in twitter asked if he was leaving he said not yet.

Loved him with Zainab but he has been a spare part since she left.

It is a shame but I can't say I'm surprised about this tbh. Masood hasn't been going anywhere for a while now

Loved Masood but he's been lost without Zainab. At least the dreadful Carmel will not get her claws into him. Good luck to Nitin.

shame but with no family around I think this is the right decision.

thank god dtc has gone or we would have yet more flats on the square.

good op for the new producer to bring in his own family

Another great long term character leaving.

EastEnders does need a revamp though and Masood has become deadeood!

Such a shame about Masood! What an end of an era with this family unit. I really hope he gets a lovely ending a return from Zaniab, Shabnam or Tanwar?

I'm not surprised, as the character has been floating aimlessly around the Square since his kids left.

At this rate, they'll be nobody left!

I would have been very upset at this news three or four years ago, but just lately he's become something of a spare part, so I won't really notice his absence. He's been a very good character on the show over the years, and I hope Nitin goes on to get other good roles.

The Masood's, formerly one of the strongest/most prominent families on the square, have slowly been chipped away at with the departures of his wife, oldest son, daughter and then middle son. Once Tamwar left I definitely had the feeling that the writing was on the wall and it was a matter of when not if he left as his character has been like a spare part for months now.

I like Masood, he's a good character, but if they couldn't find anything else for him than to be Carmel's friend with benefits and practice dancing with Patrick then perhaps it's for the best for the actor's sake.

End of an era. The Masoods were once my favourite family and they were at the height of thier popularity with the Masood, Zainab, Syed and Tamwar dynamic. They were truely fantastic... but now they are just a memory. Nitin leaving the right thing as he'll only be a glorified extra if he stays.

Minority opinion but I'm not too fussed.

Nitin is a brilliant actor & Masood used to be one of my favourites but I've not liked him for a while now. It's a shame that it's the end of an 'era' though.
