As Jean continues to spiral, new fan theory suggests that SHE killed Anthony
Jean's losing control
Jean Slater continued to spiral in EastEnders tonight (Monday, January 5), as she became obsessed with finding Anthony’s killer. With Zoe still locked up for the crime, Kat and Jean were both determined to clear her name.
While Kat remained convinced that finding Chrissie is the key to proving Zoe’s innocence, Jean took a different tack… accusing Jasmine of the crime.
And, as the episode progressed, it soon became clear that the hunt for Anthony’s killer is but another symptom of Jean’s troubled mind…
But did Jean kill Anthony?
Kat’s search for Chrissie continued in EastEnders spoilers
As the episode began, the Slaters were in full-on detective mode, with Jean taking the lead in the search for Anthony’s killer. Meanwhile, hoping to find where Chrissie had gone to ground, Kat tracked down Chrissie’s old cellmate, in the hope of bribing her for information.
As Kat headed off for her meeting, Alfie attempted to calm detective Jean’s roll, after she’d grown convinced that Jasmine had killed Anthony. Overhearing Jasmine making a mysterious conversation in the toilets, Jean confronted the newest member of the Slater family.
Jasmine had been trying to reach Oscar, though, and innocent (or so it seems) of Anthony’s murder. Alfie then accompanied Jean to her doctor’s appointment, where she was quizzed over her recent mental health. She remained in a manic mood though, and was determined to unmask Anthony’s killer’s identity.
Afterwards, having learned that Chrissie has fled to Corfu, Kat gave chase. Meanwhile, a frantic Jean arrived at the Truemans’, where she issued Yolande a warning.
Yolande was horrified by Jean’s over-the-top, frantic behaviour. And, as Jean fled in the aftermath of her outburst, broke down once alone.
Jean killed Anthony, fan theory predicts
Jean’s behaviour led some viewers to suspect that the soap might be hiding a further twist up its sleeve. Did Jean kill Anthony?
“I have this strong feeling it was Jean,” wrote one fan on Reddit. “Maybe Jean came up stairs, she saw Zoe on the floor and wacked Anthony. She might not even remember. And if she doesn’t remember, she is obsessing over it because her conscious mind is trying to remember.”
“Wait…you might be onto something here,” commented another user in response.
