Raji James has confirmed his Hollyoaks exit from the soap after Ali and Misbah's clash.

"Bloody government, they'll do anything to overshadow my last episode on Hollyoaks. Goodbye and thanks for all the fish," he jokingly tweeted.
The latest preview episode saw Misbah attending a workplace tribunal at Dee Valley Hospital for Ali ,to share how his abusive behaviour changed her life forever.
Ali had an outburst during the tribunal sessions, as he angrily hurled some horrific insults at Misbah in front of everyone. Misbah was subsequently assured she wouldn't be seeing Ali at the hospital again.
Former EastEnders star Raji joined Hollyoaks last summer as Shaq's long-lost father. It was later revealed that Ali had raped Misbah when she trained to be a doctor.

Misbah decided to give up Shaq at birth to a relative, and the arrival of Ali in Hollyoaks brought back traumatic memories.
After Ali showed how evil he remains to this day, Misbah and the entire Maalik family worked for months to stop him from abusing his authority at the hospital any longer.
While Ali escaped justice in the courtroom, Tuesday's first-look episode finally saw him face the consequences when his evil acts were exposed in front of his colleagues.
