Farewell, Farrah (Picture: Lime Pictures)

Dr. Farrah Maalik (Krupa Pattani) was certainly a contender for one of the feistiest women in Hollyoaks, which is saying something!

That said, she’s showed her sensitive side a few times, and Monday night’s episode was no different.

After a misunderstanding of epic proportions, Grace (Tamara Wall) dumped Farrah, and she left to take a new job in Canada.

In reality, Farrah had wanted to stay with Grace, and was planning on helping her after she was paralysed, and was only swayed when Grace – convinced by conniving Liam (Jude Monk McGowan) – lied to her so she wouldn’t weigh her down.




Thankfully, it appears that Farrah got the last laugh against Liam, as she tipped the police off that he was hiding something about the crash.

The tearful goodbye was clearly hard for Grace and the Maaliks, but are they saying goodbye to Farrah for good?

Sadly, this is the end of Farrah’s storyline in Cheshire – at least for the time being.

In an interview with Radio Times, actress Krupa Pattani said of her departure: ‘I’ve had such an amazing time on this show and have learned so much from amazing people, but I just want to try different things. It was a decision between me and Bryan (Kirkwood, executive producer) really: it was sort of coming to an end anyway and I was ready to pursue new projects.’

She did also say, however, that she would be up for a return if the timing was right. We all love a good soap comeback, so hopefully she’ll come back and sweep Grace off her feet.

In the meantime, we’ll have to see what happens next for sneaky Liam, and whether Grace will find a support network in Jesse and Maxine to help her through the loss.
