Albert Square has a new mystery woman, and EastEnders fans are hooked. Since arriving last month, Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) has been keeping her cards close to her chest — and it’s clear she’s hiding something explosive.

After smoothly securing a job at The Albert, even edging Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) out of his role, Jasmine’s motives have raised more questions than answers. Her charm and determination caught the attention of Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier), but their budding romance is quickly being overshadowed by suspicion.

Now, following a shocking car crash and a web of lies, Oscar is determined to uncover the truth about the mysterious newcomer who’s turned his world upside down.

The Crash That Sparked Questions

Earlier this week, Jasmine was caught in a serious accident caused by Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley), whose battle with dementia left him unaware of the chaos he’d caused. Jasmine and Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) were both rushed to hospital, but it was what happened afterward that sent alarm bells ringing.

When Nigel later tried to apologise, Jasmine lied to him — insisting he hadn’t been driving at all. Her attempt to cover up the truth left viewers wondering: what exactly is she protecting, and why?

Oscar, sensing something off, begins to piece things together. His once-easy flirtation with Jasmine now feels like a dangerous game, and next week, he decides to play detective.

Oscar Turns Investigator

Taking advice from his sister, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa), Oscar starts to dig deeper. He questions Jasmine at The Albert, pressing her for answers about her past.

But Jasmine is slippery, and every reply only deepens the mystery. Determined not to be outplayed, Oscar vows to find out who she really is — even if it means discovering something he doesn’t want to know.

As he follows the clues, he soon realises Jasmine’s lies may stretch far beyond a fake CV or hidden ex-boyfriend. There’s something much darker lurking in her history.

The Ford Family Connection

Fans have begun theorising that Jasmine’s secrets could tie back to one of EastEnders’ most dangerous families — the Fords.

Longtime viewers will remember that Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) was forced into witness protection after betraying Jackie Ford in prison back in the 1990s. That decision shaped decades of Cindy’s life, leading her family to believe she had died while she secretly started anew in Spain.

Now, with Cindy back in Walford and running The Albert — the same place Jasmine has inserted herself into — the timing feels far too convenient.

Could Jasmine be Jackie Ford’s relative, returning to the Square with revenge in mind?

What Is Jasmine Really Hiding?

From her smooth lies to her eerie calm under pressure, Jasmine is no ordinary newcomer. Every interaction feels like part of a plan, and Oscar’s growing obsession with finding the truth could soon put him in serious danger.

With Cindy unaware of the threat that may be hiding in plain sight, EastEnders looks set to revisit one of its most iconic storylines through a fresh and thrilling lens.

Will Oscar expose Jasmine before it’s too late — or will he become her next victim?
