Iqra (played by Priya Davdra) and Habiba (Rukku Nahar) have already stirred some trouble in EastEnders after they arrived on the Square with a plan to help their uncle Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra) on the BBC soap.
In their first scenes, it could be seen the two have a mischievous nature and after arriving at Masood’s restaurant, WalfordEast, the sisters told their uncle they would be willing to waitress as well as look after his house while he was away in Australia for Tamwar Masood’s (Himesh Patel) wedding.
Revealing he was leaving Walford in pursuit for a life Down Under, the sisters were left plotting their next scheme and when agency staff turned up at the restaurant, the sisters turned them away telling the staff, the owner had made a mistake.
With Masood relinquishing any reluctance to stop the sisters mischief and departing Walford, Iqra and Habiba made themselves at home, which they will share with their grandparents Mariam Ahmed (Indira Joshi) and Arshad Ahmed (Madhav Sharma).

Towards the end of the episode, the sisters set out to explore their new home as the likes of Dot Cotton (June Brown), Lofty Holloway (Tim Watt) and Mary ‘The Punk Smith’ paid tribute to the late Dr Legg (Leonard Fenton) following his funeral.
Dot was heartbroken at the beginning of the episode when she discovered a piece of jewellery belonging to Dr Legg had gone missing, with her lodger Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) and granddaughter Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) desperately searching for it.
Stuart has been trying his best to get back in Dot’s good books after it was revealed he had been taunting a dying Dr Legg weeks before he took a turn for the worse and in the days leading up to his death, Stuart had been helping to put things in to order for the character to return home from hospital.
However, their efforts were useless as they failed to find the piece of jewellery but it was revealed at the end of the episode Iqra and Habiba had managed to get their hands on it.
