EastEnders fans have been left stunned after Thursday's episode uncovered a chilling secret involving Jasmine. The character, who has been acting strangely since learning Anthony was her father after his death, visited his body at the undertakers and made a shocking revelation.
Jasmine's confession to Anthony's corpse appeared to include proof that could change everything on the soap. While specific details are being withheld to preserve the surprise for those watching on BBC One this evening, the episode available on iPlayer suggests the twist may have far-reaching consequences.
Viewers quickly took to social media to speculate that the secret could explain a flashforward scene shown earlier this month, in which Patrick Trueman tells Jasmine's love interest Oscar Branning, “You're a Trueman now.” The scene is set to air fully in January.
Some fans theorise that Jasmine's potential exit could pave the way for her mystery twin brother to join the cast. One theory posted online suggested: “Does that mean Oscar ends up marrying or dating Jasmine's twin brother? We know he's on his way to Walford and he could be the surprise catalyst that exposes Jasmine and frees Zoe.”
Another fan wrote: “Somehow this could pave the way for Jasmine's exit with Kat/Zoe/Oscar/Patrick either turning her in or Jasmine running. Patrick will be okay as he's in the flashforward with Oscar.”
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
