The teenager killed her father on Christmas Day in an act of self defence on the BBC soap
EastEnders spoilers have revealed that Jasmine is set to be arrested for Anthony Trueman’s murder as Chrissie Watts returns to the BBC soap.
After returning in August last year for the first time in over a decade, Anthony began to focus on his former fiancé Zoe Slater. It revealed that he and his wife had a restraining order against him and he kept lots of photos of Zoe on his laptop.
On top of this, when Anthony learned that not only was he the father of Zoe’s twins, but their daughter was the mysterious Jasmine, he decided to keep the information to himself. After getting into a fight with Zoe on December 25, over the information he withheld, where he hit his head, Anthony was discovered dead by Kat Slater.
However, with Zoe’s rival Chrissie showing up that evening, fans were convinced that Zoe didn’t kill him. It turned out that neither Zoe nor Chissie killed him, with Jasmine having fatally hit him with a firm object in an act of self defence.
While Jasmine later fled from Walford after failing to convince her boyfriend Oscar Branning, the latest batch of EastEnders spoilers have revealed just how and when she will return.
Monday, February 16, marks the day of Anthony’s funeral and his dad Patrick Trueman is disappointed that Jasmine isn’t there. Having been given a lead by Chrissie, Kat tracks Jasmine down and eventually convinces her to come back for Patrick’s sake.
Meanwhile, Oscar heads upstairs at The Vic and finds Chrissie and Jake Moon waiting for Kat to bring Jasmine to them. Later, Jasmine is horrified to realise that Kat has trapped her when she is confronted by Chrissie.
Over at Peacock Palace, the atmosphere between Max Branning, Linda Carter and Elaine Peacock remains frosty as he tries to make amends by promising to put a stop to Ian Beale’s vendetta against Elaine.
During a conversation with his daughter Lauren, Max explains that he has real feelings for Linda and wants a serious relationship with her. Later, Max brings Louie Beale to apologise to Linda’s son Ollie for bullying him. Linda later invites him for a drink to get their co-parenting relationship back on track
On Tuesday, February 17, Kat fears that Jasmine has made a run for it when she disappears, but later she returns with the murder weapon and suggests they frame Chrissie.
However, the police soon arrive and Jasmine is hauled away moments after she begs Oscar to find her phone and evidence.
Elsewhere, George Knight and Nicola Mitchell gather their families at Harry’s Barn to reveal the gender of their baby. But the happy mood takes a turn when Kojo Asare tells his brother George and best friend Harry that he’s missing his independence and intends to move back into his old flat.
On Wednesday, February 18, Zoe is horrified to discover that Jasmine has been arrested for murder, with Patrick also struggling to comprehend the news. George continues to worry about Kojo’s decision to move back to the flat, but Harry decides to put Kojo’s feelings before his own and move back in too.
