EastEnders has teased a major departure as the murder plot surrounding Anthony Trueman continues to unfold. Monday's episode saw Jasmine Fisher, who has been central to the storyline since her arrival, propose fleeing Walford with her boyfriend Oscar Branning, suggesting she may be written out of the BBC soap.
The twist comes after it was revealed that Jasmine, not Chrissie Watts, was responsible for Anthony's death. She had struck him after witnessing an attack on Zoe Slater, and recorded the incident on her phone. Terrified of becoming a burden to her family, she asked Oscar to run away with her, but his response remains unknown.
Kat Slater, unaware of Jasmine's guilt, had urged her to tell police about Chrissie's manipulation, hoping it would prove Zoe's innocence. However, viewers know that Jasmine is the true killer, and her proposed escape has sparked speculation about her future on the show.
Some fans are unconvinced that Jasmine will leave, pointing out that Oscar appeared in the New Year's Day flashforward, indicating he remains in Walford until 2027. One viewer wrote: "Girl, you and Oscar are not sailing off into the sun together..." Another added: "Jasmine won't be going anywhere. Oscar obviously isn't either since he was seen on New Year's."
Others believe her secret will eventually surface, potentially leading to a breakdown. One theory suggests the truth may emerge around Anthony's funeral, while another fan noted that running away would only make Jasmine look guilty in Kat's eyes. The storyline continues to fuel speculation about how the murder will be resolved.
