Jade (Deano and Shabnam's daughter)

[Perdita]

EastEnders is pursuing a cystic fibrosis storyline after Shirley Carter tracked down her granddaughter Jade on tonight's episode (June 12).

Jade, who is the daughter of Shabnam Masood and Dean Wicks and is living in foster care, was seen using a nebuliser.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust have confirmed that the character has cystic fibrosis, revealing on Twitter that they are working with the soap on the storyline.

The trust posted: "There will be more of Jade beyond CF Week, don't worry. Can't reveal too much and give spoilers though."

They added: "Yep. We've been working hard with excellent @bbceastenders team on this, and grateful to them for this opportunity!"




EastEnders airs on BBC One.

I suppose we are now supposed to feel sorry for the rapist. Not happening. It'll be all "I had no idea Shabnam was a CF carrier." He'll act all hard done by and if he didn't go around having casual flings (at best) he could have had his partner tested and known in advance whether any children were at risk or not.

if shabham is the cf carrier should other massod kids also have it, im confused by how jade has cf if dean isn't a carrier of the gene

Are we 100% certain Masood is Shabnams
father? If he is the others Masood children
could also be carriers -but unaware.

Other Masood children are not necessarily carriers, but they may be. The odds are that of four children born to parents who have the defective gene, two will be carriers, one will inherit nothing and one will get cf, though, of course, any combination could occur and none of the masood children have cf.

If Dean is Jade's father he is a carrier, it cannot be otherwise.

I don't think there has ever been a doubt that Masood is Shabnam's father ...

shirley said dean's tests were clear as he was tested when jimbob was sick, she gave mick dean's blood group

also carly had a kid and no mention of cf and denise and shirley are in contact with her

I got the impression Zainab had been
a rather flighty in her younger days.
Obviously wrongly?!
