EastEnders has confirmed that Jasmine Fisher is the killer of Anthony Trueman, in a dramatic twist that could lead to her exit from the BBC soap. The revelation came during Monday's episode (January 19), as Jasmine was seen confessing to the murder and asking her boyfriend, Oscar Branning, to run away with her.
The storyline began on Christmas Day when Anthony died after being hit over the head. Zoe Slater initially believed she was responsible and handed herself in, but it later emerged that a second blow caused his death. Kat Slater, Zoe's mother, suspected Chrissie Watts of framing Zoe and urged Jasmine to tell the police about Chrissie's manipulation.
However, viewers learned last week that Jasmine killed Anthony after witnessing him attack Zoe. She filmed the incident and still has the recording on her phone. In Monday's episode, terrified of being a burden to her family, Jasmine asked Oscar to flee Walford with her, hinting at her departure.
Despite Jasmine's exit being teased, some fans doubt she will leave, as Oscar was seen in the New Year's Day flashforward, suggesting he remains in Walford until at least 2027. Others believe Jasmine's secret will eventually come out, possibly during Anthony's funeral, leading to a mental breakdown for the character.
Fans have also questioned the logic of running away, noting that Kat would likely suspect Jasmine's guilt. One viewer commented: 'By running away all Jasmine is doing is making herself look really guilty.' Another added: 'I don't think it'll be long before Kat finds out that Jasmine killed Anthony and won't tell the police to free Zoe.'
