Can Carmel say goodbye?
As Shakil’s funeral takes place, she vanishes…
Carmel has accepted that her beloved youngest son Shakil has died, but she’s nowhere near ready for his funeral. This week, however, the service takes place and sees the broken mum having to decide if she can face her fears…
The early signs aren’t good. As Kush meets undertaker Jay to make arrangements, Carmel refuses to join him. Instead, she throws herself into opening the youth club she’s set up for the local teens.
Shock decision
Though Bex, Louise and co turn up to Carmel’s event, Keegan fails to show. And when Carmel reaches out to him he rejects her support, cruelly pointing out that she’s using the youth club to distract her from Shakil’s death.
His comment has zero effect on Carmel, though, who just sets up another event.
The evening ends in disaster and results in Carmel making a shock decision. Will a second confrontation with Keegan put an end to Carmel’s idea?
With the funeral looming, Jay is stunned when Carmel makes a last-minute request – he must tell everyone that she will be the only person attending. Kush, however, insists the service will go ahead as planned. When the mourners gather, there’s no sign of Carmel. As Kush and the other Kazemis sit and wait, Denise finds her…
Will she be able to persuade Carmel to say goodbye to Shakil?
