‘EastEnders’ Afia Masood to leave show

‘EastEnders’ bosses have confirmed that the character of Afia Masood is being written out as Meryl Fernandes leaves the show.

Fernandes filmed her final scenes a few weeks ago and her exit will be shown on the hit BBC One series next month as problems between her character Afia Masood and hubby Tamwar Masood come to a head.

Speaking today, an EastEnders spokesperson said, �۝Meryl Fernandes recently finished filming her final scenes at EastEnders, which will be on screen next month.�۝

The on-screen couple have experienced marriage issues ever since the death of Afias’ villainous father Yusef Khan last Christmas.
