Davood played Kush from 2014 until 2021 when the popular character was pushed killed off in a shocking cliffhanger episode during serial killer Gray Atkins’ (Toby-Alexander Smith) evil reign over Albert Square.

After leaving EastEnders, Davood joined the cast of BBC’s Holby City as Eli Ebrahimi. However, his role only lasted 18 months after it was announced the beloved medical show had been axed after 23 years. Davood previously admitted that he would miss playing his character Kush after making history as the first-ever character on the show to be killed this way.

He said at the time: “I’ll be sad to see him go but I’ve loved every minute of playing the character. I have really enjoyed being part of that final storyline, my time over the six and a half years has culminated in something that people will remember. It’s a nice thing to have a full stop to the end of Kush’s story. Although it’s the end of the line for Kush, he has given me lots of happy memories and I will miss him greatly.”
