EE - what is the deal with the Masood's older son?

[HeadFairy]

Why's he not living with them and why shouldn't Zeinab be speaking to him?

Haven't got a clue! Some sort of family feud in the past I think.

That's what I thought, but they've never said what.

Wasn't he stealing money from them before or something?

Haha yes, they just said so that second!

Oh I think that's what they've just intimated. So that was it? It would take much more than that for me to turn my back on ds...

Syed soon confesses that he has no job, home or money. Syed was trying to con money from them again!

I thought that apartment was suspicious... no personal effects, I thought it was borrowed or rented or something.

I think he stole a lot of money from the family business and then disappeared. Masoud took the blame to spare DW's feelings. He recently told her the truth after one of the other DCs got emails from estranged son.

Cheers for that Portofino. It's all becoming clearer

cat's out of the bag now!

I think that is why Zeinab always treated Masoud so badly. She thought it was him that had "ruined" them, when really it was the son.

What a frightful old pickle they've got themselves in to

I just hope they are not going to draaaaaag the story out.

Bound to sadly. I rarely watch it anymore. I have done since it very first started, but i find it more annoying now than entertaining.

Well they've kept all this syed storyline bubbling under for ages, so they're bound to stretch it out a few more months. Anyone would think the scriptwriters were running out of ideas... can't Ian have another improbable affair? At least that's more entertaining.

I swear Ian would never get to shag THAT amount of attractive women in real life. He's quite difficult most of the time too. Likewise Phil Mitchell, the birds are falling all over him.

Maybe their reputation goes before them and word has got round they're hung like donkeys

I'm pretty sure Phil is! But even attempting to imagine Ian's willy.....well ewwwww. How could Jane/Cindy/Melanie/etc etc touch it?

Worse than that Portofino, can you imagine kissing him? I imagine he's all slobbery and a bit over keen, like a cross between a labrador and a teenaged boy

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Oh No not Phil - every time I hear his voice I think of him wearing his pantomine wig when he was out Dogging in Epping Forest.

PMSL hf!!!

PMSL!! phil really is a good drunk, very plausible.

Even more so when he had Shirley's lipstick on his cheeks. Did Captain Hook have rosy cheeks?
