Im.sorry to say that if Zainab had returned
and been her usual.OTT self -it would
have spoilt the sensitivity of the scene-
for me anyway!

She seems to only have one setting.
But fortunately -it didnt happen!

I like that she was mentioned or showed Tamwar talking on the phone to her and Syed

She is Shabham's mother, she needs all her family's support as does Kush

Usually I would agree - that a mother would
be a main.source of support in circumstances
like these- but not when.played as this
character is and based on previous form!
(my opinion only.of course)

dupl

It was bad enough to hear from Tamwar that she said something along the lines that at least now the wedding would be respectable... :thumbsdow

I think Zainab's a good character and I'd be glad to see her return, but that comment seemed to have undone all the character development of her last stint. :wall:

I can't believe EE wouldn't have Zainab come back. I mean, especially now! Her daughter was expecting a baby, Shabs already has a daughter that's been found, now Shabs has lost the baby... If those aren't excuses for a mother to return and be there for her own child, then what is???

Ha ha...you've found us! :thumbsup:

I know, it's incredibly contrived that Zainab wasn't there. Maybe saying a close relative was dying or something would have made it more believable?

To be fair to DTC, I have heard he tried to get Nina Wadia back but she was too busy.

It is a shame also Zainab didn't return but at least Tamwar mentioned her and Syed

stacey needs to stop sniffing around kush

what did shabham name the baby?

What a harrowing episode again. Shabnam's grief feels so real. It went right through me when she screamed at the dinner table. I think I'd have done much the same in her position having to listen to Carmel rambling on so inappropriately about the wedding.

I found Shabnam and Kush's row at the end difficult to watch too. Well done to the actors because it really didn't feel as if they were pretending.

I do feel great sympathy for Shabnam.
As well as dealing with the still birth - which
is very traumatic- I wonder if that has caused
her to think again about the birth of Jade and
all the following events.
Plus Carmel and possibily past problems in
her own family. It must be unbearable for
her.I was very impressed by the interview
the actress gave and she is obviously
determined to give the storyline the seriousess
it deserves.
