EASTENDERS star Zahra Ahmadi walked out of the show after the producers refused to give her an exciting part. Sources have revealed that Ahmadi, who plays Shabnam Masood, left the show as she was barely featuring in new scripts.
"Zahra was really disappointed with the way scriptwriters used her character. You hardly ever saw her on screen. If she had been given exciting scenes she would have stayed for a long time," British tabloid The Sun quoted a source as saying. "Working on EastEnders is a dream come true for any aspiring star. But she began to feel she was wasting her time," the source added.
Zahra's decision comes a month after the BBC1 soap was condemned by race equality chief Trevor Phillips.
Darby Hinton reconnects with his Daniel Boone rootsDarby Hinton starts at the top of the Rowan County Courthouse steps with the camera following him down as he walks to the front sidewalk talking about Daniel Boone. Hinton is serving as host for a history and travel documentary on Boone and all the places his life touched in North Carolina, including Salisbury.
It's a reconnection of sorts for Hinton. From 1964 to 1970, he played the role of Israel Boone, the precocious son of Daniel Boone, in the popular DANIEL BOONE television series on NBC. He later went on to play the role of Ian Griffith on the DAYS OF OUR LIVES in the mid 1980s.

Killer revealed in Aussie soap OUT OF THE BLUE
The wait is finally over for fans of the much underrated Aussie soap OUT OF THE BLUE, as this week they discover the identity of Philip 'Philby' McManus's killer.
Viewers have followed plot twists and turns for months as each of the characters in the show has come under the spotlight as the potential murderer. Philby was killed after a reunion party when a group of school friends came together for the first time in nine years.
Despite being moved between channels, subject to frequent schedule changes and often pre-empted for summer sport, OUT OF THE BLUE has found a loyal cult audience in the UK and has since been sold to numerous countries around the world. Although the BBC has confirmed that it will not co-fund episodes beyond the initial 130 already filmed, it is not clear if Southern Star in Australia will continue with further series of the soap.
