EastEnders viewers are convinced they have uncovered the true identity of newcomer Jasmine, with theories pointing to a secret link to Cindy Beale. Recent scenes, including Monday's episode, have sparked speculation that Jasmine is either Cindy's long-lost daughter or connected to Jackie Ford, a former cellmate of Cindy's.
Fans recall that Jackie Ford was the inmate Cindy informed on, leading to Cindy entering witness protection and faking her death. Cindy had feared Jackie was out for revenge and may have been involved in the death of her daughter Lucy Beale, though this was later disproven. Jasmine's pointed questions about Cindy's aliases and her friendship with Cindy's daughter Gina have fuelled the DNA bombshell theories.
One fan tweeted: 'Could Jasmine be Cindy Jrs kid? That would explain her Cindy obsession.' Another wrote: 'Jasmine is definitely something to do with Cindy.' A third added: 'Right I'm saying it. Jasmine is Cindy's long last daughter!!!!' Others remain convinced she is linked to Jackie Ford, with one comment reading: 'Jasmine asking if Cindy has had other names, it’s giving she’s either connected to Jackie Ford or She’s another kid of Cindy’s.'
Earlier theories suggested Jasmine could be the secret daughter of Zoe Slater, who gave birth to twins in 2006. While one baby girl was said to have died, fans wondered if she survived. However, recent episodes have shifted focus to Cindy, with a nod to a past scene involving Ronnie Mitchell and her secret daughter Danielle. EastEnders continues Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One.
