http://m.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/news/a619746/eastenders-rakhee-thakrar-shabnams-secret-is-shocking.html#~p0CvzEwUkpCo7L Rakhee Thakrar says it's shocking and "life or death". When we first found out that she has a secret, my initial theory was an eating disorder but that doesn't explain the money. I think she might be working in the sex industry, either online or in person. I keep coming back to DTC saying we'll see new twists on storylines in the flashback ep - will we see Shabnam on the street corner with Rainie? |

I'm actually quite stumped. I also thought eating disorder but ruled that out when the money came into it. I saw your theory of the sex work then but I don't think that fits with Rakhee's comment. Would that really be a life or death secret? They wouldn't dare do a terrorism plot would they? |

They wouldn't but I bet they could pull it off. |

Life or death is quite extreme. Bit of a curveball but I'm wondering if she was involved in some kind of cult or terrorist movement. It would certainly provide a background to her more ruthless attitude in her second incarnation. Huge stab in the dark. So pleased this is coming to screen. She's been on screen for a year already! |

You ain't my muvva!

Hopefully it's not another organ-related story, not even a (much) more interesting black-market-people-trafficking-kidney-selling-for-£10,000-a-time. |

The emphasis of her having large sums of money at hand all the time led me to believe that she was a gambling addict or something, but the "life or death" quote contradicts this. Cannot wait to find out!

I really want to know what it is. Maybe she was in a relationship with someone who was in a terrorist group in Pakistan and she didn't realise until she was pregnant? The baby was born but then she had to get rid of it... Probably way too extreme. |

I wonder if she was in prison and escaped after being forced into a marriage and killing her husband? |

Not another killer on the Square, please. This is getting beyond a joke. |

When I read about her being worked up about Kush having her bag I thought they might do a terrorism plot, but how would they explain that through a newspaper clipping? |

I thought she might have been hiding food in her handbag before I read about the newspaper clipping. Imagine if Shabnam goes off to jois ISIS. Talk about topical. |

Hmm very intriguing. Not sure about the terrorism angle as it wouldn't explain how she came into a lot of money but whatever it is, I hope it's original. |

Maybe money laundering? It could be for terrorist groups, or any sort of activist group in Pakistan like one that promotes education for girls. Wasn't she volunteering at an orphanage? Maybe she's selling babies to desperate people who can't have their own? |

Why do I think a baby is involved? |

Oh dear, I was hoping Shabnam would turn out to be an activist but it looks like we'll get a trivial (shameful) affair, probably involving babies or sex work. |

Maybe she sold her baby? She was praising Stacey for her single motherhood and has money. OR maybe a powerful man in Pakistan with whom she was having an affair, paid her off and took the baby as his own?
