EastEnders fans ‘figure out’ Jasmine’s ‘true identity’ amid Zoe Slater baby theories
EastEnders fans have ‘figured out’ Jasmine’s ‘true identity’ amid theories surrounding her potentially being Zoe Slater’s baby.
Fans of the BBC soap have been trying to work out who fathered Zoe’s children after she recently revealed she had twins in 2006.
With Michelle Ryan back for the first time on a full-time basis since her 2005 exit, Zoe had a son and a daughter just a year after fleeing for Ibiza.
After believing her daughter died after a complicated birth, Zoe placed her son up for adoption before fleeing.

EastEnders fans ‘work out’ truth about Zoe Slater’s baby after Dennis Rickman twist
This week in Walford, Zoe claimed that the children’s father is the late Dennis Watts, who was murdered in 2005.
Despite Sharon Watts being heartbroken to learn her former husband cheated on her, she’s helping Zoe track down her son.
While many fans doubt Dennis is the dad and think Zoe is lying, many believe that the new character Jasmine might be her daughter.
The programme introduced Jasmine on Tuesday (September 23) when she asked Cindy Beale for a job at The Albert.
Initially rejected, Cindy had a change of heart when she saw her taking matters into her own hands, but warned her to stay away from Oscar Branning.
Cindy remained impressed by Jasmine despite Elaine Peacock’s disapproval, while Oscar kept pursuing her.
In scenes aired on Thursday night (September 25), the son of Max Branning asked Jasmine out on a date by stealing her an outfit from the market.
Still not impressed at Oscar amid her ongoing feud with his sister Lauren Branning, Cindy warned her away from the troublesome Branning once again.
Despite the timing of Jasmine’s arrival potentially teeing her up to be Zoe’s daughter, fans on the EastEnders Reddit page believe she’s been in Albert Square to get close to Cindy all along.
@MissKLO said: “Whoever called Jasmine being something to do with cindy’s stint in witness protection… I reckon who nailed it… she heard cindy stories, she wants to stay out of the ‘family business’… it’s alllll adding up.” @ourfriendinthenorth added: “I was onboard the Jasmine-is-Zoes’s-child train but I can now see this!”
@OutlandishnessFew498 wrote: “What if Jasmine’s both? A fan wrote, “She’s Zoe’s daughter, but someone connected to Jackie Ford adopted her? That’s the kind of ridiculous contrivance EastEnders could get behind.” @eastenderse added, “I also noticed the other day that Jasmine glared when Elaine mentioned Cindy abandoned her kids.”
Chewinggum250 commented: “Also did anyone else catch Jasmine asking about the psycho family Cindy informed on?@dwcrm argued, “I definitely think that’s her link. Okay, my theory is that Jasmine came looking for her mum, and she thinks it’s Cindy, but it’s really Zoe.”
Jasmine has yet to reveal her real reason for appearing in Walford, but she doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
