Zainab arrived from Pakistan, where she had brought shame on her family by having an affair with Masood despite being married to husband Yusef Khan (Ace Bhatti) at the time – leading to her being set on fire by him and his family as punishment.The character was last seen in 2013 after reconciling with Masood, only for him to admit he wasn’t happy with their relationship and calling off their wedding.She returned to Pakistan, and we later learned that she was in a relationship with her cousin Haroon and that they were planning to get engaged.But just who did she play in the soap? ‘Shall we head back to the East End…such great memories!’As fans will no doubt remember, the wedding was the moment where Zainab (Wadia) discovered that her son Syed (Marc Elliott) was secretly gay and having an affair with Christian Clarke (John Partridge)…during his wedding to Amira (Preeya Kalidas).Zainab was last seen in 2013, although her husband Masood stuck around until February of last year.The newlywed, however, was unable to consummate the marriage, and Amira eventually left after finding out Syed and Christian were in love.The episode was originally aired on New Year’s Day 2010, and was the conclusion to a plot line that had been simmering since Syed’s arrival in the Square.He told The One Show that it was due to being in Canada at the time with his husband.In the immediate aftermath of the wedding, Syed and Amira did become husband and wife, despite his mother finding out about his same-sex love affair.Even a decade after the wedding first airing, Syed and Christian’s affair and eventual relationship was a water-cooler moment for EastEnders as a modern-day soap opera.EastEnders icon Nina Wadia has called for Zainab Masood to return to Albert Square following the re-airing of Syed’s iconic wedding episode.
