EastEnders icon eyes up return as fans demand matriarch makes a comeback
EXCLUSIVE: EastEnders star Nina Wadia has opened up on whether she would like to reprise her role on Albert Square as Zainab Masood as fans demand the TV matriarch returns
Ex-Eastenders actress Nina Wadia has lifted the lid on her return to the BBC soap.
The TV star, 55, starred on EastEnders from 2007 to 2013, and as one of the soap’s famous matriarchs, fans have been calling for her back. When speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, Nina revealed whether she’d be up for the job.
Nina explained: “I loved my time on Eastenders and creating Zainab was one of the highlights of my career. Of course, I would like to bring her back to life.
“I still get stopped in the street by people shouting out ‘Zainab’ and constantly get asked when I’m going back. I’d be honoured to be asked back. Eastenders holds a special place in my heart and career.”
