According to reports a familiar resident of Albert Square will face a suicide attempt mystery in EastEnders later this year.

Spoiler Alert!

EastEnders' Zainab Masood will face fresh turmoil in the coming months when her scheming ex-husband Yusef Khan convinces her family that she has tried to commit suicide.

In recent weeks, viewers have seen the doctor provide Zainab with a regular supply of sleeping pills in the hope that he can control and manipulate her.

According to the Daily Star Sunday the story-line will go one step further when Yusef tries to up her dosage and makes it look like a suicide attempt when she is discovered in a coma.

A source told the paper: "Yusef is using his position as a doctor to get her hooked on sleeping pills. He thinks if he can make it look as though she's tried to kill herself, he'll be able to sweep in as her knight in shining armour. He's trying to isolate her from her family so he's the only one in her life."

The insider added: "No-one knows what Yusef has been up to and the real danger that Zainab is in. These really are must-see episodes."
