EastEnders fans have been puzzled by Jasmine Fisher's fixation on Cindy Beale, even after her revelation as Zoe Slater's daughter. A theory suggests the connection lies with returning villain Chrissie Watts, whose maiden name before marrying Den Watts was never revealed, potentially linking her to the Ford family.
Jasmine's obsession culminated in a brutal attack on Cindy, who was pushed down the stairs and hospitalised. Many viewers initially suspected Jasmine was a relative of Jackie Ford, a character who shared a prison cell with Cindy and was betrayed by her, leading to a longer sentence and a family vendetta.
Fans have noted the close relationship between Jasmine and Chrissie, speculating that Chrissie's maiden name could be Ford. One fan theorised: 'I think I have the potential answer... it could be that Chrissie Watt’s former family name before she married Den Watts was Ford.'
Chrissie's history of manipulation, including her role in Den Watts' death in 2005, adds weight to the theory. The storyline continues in tonight's Christmas Day episodes, airing at 7:45pm and 9:45pm on BBC One.
