EastEnders fans: Have we missed an episode?
Albert Square character Kush Kazem was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome.
EastEnders fans were left questioning whether they had missed an episode after a character who underwent a heart operation was seen sitting in a cafe.
On Friday’s show, Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami) was rushed to hospital after being diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome, a rare and inherited condition that affects the way electrical signals pass through the heart.
Monday’s episode also saw his mother Carmel in hospital being tested for the same condition.

“Now he’s sat in cafe and mum in hospital.”

Albert Square character Kush was fitted with an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator), which, according to the British Heart Foundation, can take anything from one hour to implant.
It says patients will “often, but not always, need to stay overnight in hospital”.
Ghadami will be appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, which airs its first live show on Saturday.
