POTD: 'EastEnders' Masood divorces Zainab

Published Monday, Sep 26 2011, 08:32 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly | 4 comments
EastEnders' Masood Ahmed makes the heartbreaking decision to divorce wife Zainab in tonight's episode of the soap.

Masood (Nitin Ganatra) has been kept in the dark over the real reasons for Zainab's hospital dash last week, but when Tamwar and Syed finally tell him the truth, he's alarmed to hear that his estranged partner may have taken an overdose deliberately.

Zainab, meanwhile, is in a reflective mood following recent events, telling Yusef (Ace Bhatti) that she plans to concentrate on her family and repairing her relationship with Masood. However, Masood has other ideas, believing that Zainab now needs a fresh start without him.

Events come to a head when an emotional Masood visits the family home and repeats the word "talaq" - meaning "I divorce you" - three times in front of a shocked Zainab (Nina Wadia). As it's clear that Yusef's shock pill plan has worked perfectly, can the Masoods ever recover from this?
