Jasmine Shattered by Zoe’s Son Truth | EastEnders

EastEnders is lining up a powerful and emotionally charged storyline that places Jasmine Fischer at the center of a storm she never saw coming. Just as she begins to piece together the fragments of her identity, a devastating truth about Anthony Truman threatens to undo any sense of stability she has managed to build. What starts as a journey for answers quickly turns into a painful reckoning, forcing Jasmine to confront not only who her father really was, but what that legacy means for her future in Walford.

Jasmine’s arrival on the Square last September was shrouded in mystery. Quiet, guarded, and seemingly cautious about revealing too much, she nevertheless formed a quick bond with Oscar Branning. To many residents, it appeared that Jasmine was simply another young woman hoping to start fresh and find connection. But beneath the surface, it soon became clear that her presence was far more deliberate. Jasmine wasn’t just looking for love — she was hunting for the truth about where she came from.

As weeks passed, her questions about her past grew more urgent. Viewers gradually learned that Jasmine had been circling Zoe Slater, her biological mother, with calculated intent. Backed discreetly by Chrissie Watts, Jasmine was attempting to unlock secrets that had been buried for years. The revelation that followed would change her life forever: Kat Slater exposed the truth that Anthony Truman was Jasmine’s father.

The timing of the discovery could not have been crueler. Anthony had already died over the Christmas period, meaning Jasmine would never have the chance to confront him, question him, or build any form of relationship. The news shattered her. Already emotionally fragile, Jasmine struggled to process the idea that the man she had only just learned was her father was gone for good. Her grief was complicated further by lingering unease over Chrissie’s continued involvement with Zoe, leaving Jasmine unsure of who she could truly trust.

Just as Jasmine attempts to steady herself, her situation takes another dramatic turn when she moves into the Queen Vic. The iconic pub becomes the backdrop for a family drowning in unresolved grief. The Truman household is still reeling from Anthony’s death, and emotions are raw. Patrick Truman, weighed down by guilt and regret, finds himself unable to escape the sense that he has failed both his son and his newly discovered granddaughter.

Yolande, ever the voice of compassion, urges Patrick to open up to Jasmine and offer her the support she so clearly needs. Determined to help, Patrick makes an effort to connect, and for a brief moment, it seems as though healing might be possible. Jasmine even offers to babysit baby Charlie, hoping to prove she can be relied upon. But disaster strikes when she fails to realize that the baby monitor is broken, leaving Charlie unattended.

Downstairs, Jasmine spends time talking with Patrick, and the two begin to form what feels like a genuine bond. For Jasmine, it’s a rare moment of warmth — a glimpse of the family connection she has been craving. However, that fragile peace is shattered when Lily discovers what has happened. Furious that Charlie was left alone, Lily unleashes her anger on Jasmine, accusing her of irresponsibility and recklessness.

The confrontation leaves Jasmine shaken. Patrick, seeing both sides, offers her a place to stay at the family home, hoping stability might calm her. Yet privately, he confesses to Yolande that he’s worried about Jasmine’s volatile temper and emotional state. Denise then makes a suggestion that pushes Jasmine even further to the edge: she proposes that Jasmine should view Anthony’s body. Instead of offering closure, the idea only intensifies Jasmine’s anxiety and dread.

Unable to cope with the mounting pressure, Jasmine lashes out at Oscar and storms off. What follows is a reckless, night-long drinking binge that signals just how deeply she is unraveling. The next morning, Yolande attempts to bring her back to reality, urging her to slow down and confront her grief rather than running from it.

Chelsea later steps in, challenging Jasmine about her treatment of Patrick and her increasingly erratic behavior. But in doing so, Chelsea accidentally lets slip a disturbing truth that Jasmine was never prepared to hear. She references Anthony’s past, revealing that he once had a restraining order placed against him by his former wife due to deeply concerning behavior.

The revelation lands like a bombshell. For Jasmine, the image of Anthony shifts dramatically in an instant. The father she had begun to romanticize — the man she mourned without ever knowing — is suddenly recast in a far darker light. Forced to reconcile her longing for a loving father with the reality of his troubling past, Jasmine is left questioning everything. How does she grieve someone who may not deserve her tears? And how does she carry his name forward without becoming defined by his mistakes?

While Jasmine’s world collapses, EastEnders delivers another harrowing storyline that sends shockwaves across the Square. Death fears are ignited after Nugget Gulati is brutally attacked — by someone he trusts most.

Viewers have watched events spiral out of control following Ravi Gulati being secretly drugged by Nicola Mitchell, acting under orders from her son Harry. Harry’s thirst for revenge stems from the nightmare Ravi once forced him into. Ravi had coerced Harry into dealing drugs, using the flat Harry shared with Kojo Asare as a criminal base.

Harry’s ordeal escalated when Ravi installed Oki at the flat to oversee operations. Harry was terrorized, even chained to a wall to keep him under control. The situation grew even more sinister when Oki went rogue, holding Harry captive for weeks and deliberately getting him addicted to drugs. Though Harry eventually escaped, the nightmare culminated in a violent confrontation that left Oki dead. Teddy took the blame to protect his son, and Harry later entered rehab, but his rage never truly faded.

Determined to make Ravi pay, Harry devised a plan. Unaware that Ravi had secretly become a police informant, Nicola slipped drugs into Ravi’s drink at Harry’s barn. Disoriented, Ravi was lured to the arches and locked inside. Under the influence, Ravi began hallucinating visions of Nish, who died the previous year. As panic set in, Ravi staggered into a nearby alley, convinced he was being threatened.

In a tragic twist, Ravi lashed out in self-defense — not realizing the figure before him was not Nish, but his own son, Nugget. Nugget had gone searching for his father after Ravi failed to return home for a family meal. Vinnie arrived moments later to find Nugget unconscious and immediately called an ambulance. At the hospital, Priya is left devastated when she learns Nugget has been placed in a coma. Ravi, meanwhile, collapses alone behind the arches, unseen.

In the January 12 episode, Ravi wakes up on the street with no memory of what happened. As he checks his phone and reads a series of alarming messages, the horrifying truth dawns on him: he is responsible for what happened to Nugget.

Elsewhere, soap fans are buzzing after a major Emmerdale twist revealed that Graham Foster is still alive — five years after viewers believed he was killed. The revelation has sparked renewed calls from EastEnders fans for the return of Walford legends Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell.

The Mitchell sisters, known as Ice and Fire, became iconic after arriving in 2007. Their bond, drama-filled lives, and tragic shared death on New Year’s Day 2017 remain among the most controversial moments in the show’s history. Despite their deaths being shown on screen, fans have never stopped campaigning for their return. Rita Simons has even admitted she still receives scripts from viewers explaining how Roxy could come back.

With soap history proving that no character is ever truly gone forever, the debate has been reignited. And as EastEnders continues to push emotional boundaries — from Jasmine’s shattered identity to Ravi’s devastating realization — one thing is clear: Walford is heading into some of its darkest, most unforgettable chapters yet.

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
