It could be that Shabnam turns to her daughter for comfort following the tragic stillbirth of her and Kush Kazemi's baby.
The scenes filmed today are due to air October 15.
Thakrar and Amaya Edward, who plays Jade, were also seen joking when the cameras weren't rolling.

Shabnam currently has nothing to do with Jade after conceiving her during a one night stand with Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) and giving her up for adoption.
Grandmother Shirley tracked Jade down and introduced her to Dean but Shabnam currently has no desire to bond with her daughter.
Could that be about to change in the wake of the devastating news to hit Shabnam and Kush?
