Several EastEnders cast members were spotted filming Shakil’s funeral last week. Actor Davood Ghadami, who plays Shakil’s grief-stricken brother Kush, is one of the mourners. Keegan will also be making an appearance at the funeral. Even though he survived the knife attack, he can’t believe that his best mate is now dead. Others at the funeral will include Jay Brown, Tiffany Butcher and Shakil’s ex-girlfriend Bex, who will also be showing their support.
If that weren’t enough, actress Jessie Wallace was spotted filming scenes in her character as Kat Moon. She can be see woefully staring at his coffin in one of the teaser photos. A few other pics also show Kush interacting with a few newcomers, including his brother Darius and his father Umar.
