'EastEnders' Amira return: More plot details revealed

EastEnders bosses have revealed yet more details of the events which lead up to Amira Shah's return to the soap later this year.

As most fans know by now, actress Preeya Kalidas recently signed up to make a comeback as Amira, while in a radio interview this morning, the star revealed quite a bit of new information - including how she's been filming special scenes which will air on the BBC's red button service next month.

Teasing the upcoming storyline for Amira, Syed and Christian, a statement released this evening on EastEnders' official website reads: "As he plans his life together with Christian, Syed's frustrations begin to grow as his attempts to re-connect with Amira and seek a divorce meet with no success.

"It is only with help from an unexpected source that his hopes are revived and Amira's controlling father Qadim is left with the decision as to whether he brings Syed back into his daughter's life once more."

The site confirms that the red button episodes will air on September 6 and September 8, revealing "Amira's world away from the Square and the repercussions that these events might bring to Syed and Christian's relationship".

EastEnders' statement adds: "Caged in her father's home, hidden in disgrace... what secret will she reveal?"

Following the red button episodes, Amira is expected to make her return to the main show in October.
