Has Nigel killed Jasmine and Gina? All we know following car crash terror
Jasmine and Gina were caught in confused Nigel's path
A confused Nigel Bates was responsible for a catastrophic car crash in EastEnders tonight (Monday, October 20), putting Jasmine and Gina’s lives in peril as he ploughed into them on the street. Jasmine pushed Gina out of the way, but both were knocked unconscious as the episode ended.
This came as Nigel attempted to take his beloved Morris Minor for one last spin – but left the two ladies fighting for their lives as events took a terrible turn.
How badly has Nigel hurt Jasmine and Gina?
Here’s what happened in EastEnders tonight – and what happens next as the story continues.
Nigel sold his car in EastEnders tonight
Nigel was getting his Morris Minor ready to sell, so as to fund his and Julie’s trip to India. However, he inadvertently used the wrong brush, and damaged the paintwork in the process.
Meanwhile, a worried Julie confided in Jean, telling her that she’d had to hide the keys from Nigel in case he took it upon himself to go on a drive. The problem being, she couldn’t remember where she’d stashed the spare.
After signing over the car to Lauren (at a discount – thanks to the damage), Nigel sat down for a chat with Yolande. He was already having second thoughts, worrying that maybe he wasn’t up to a trip to India after all.
Back home, Nigel was making a cuppa when he discovered the spare keys, stashed in with the tea. As Julie wittered on about India, Nigel grew stressed-out, and broke the news that he couldn’t go to India after all.
Nigel grew upset when Julie attempted to dismiss his concerns, and stormed off. His strop didn’t take him very far – to the car lot, to be exact, where he climbed into his car and headed off for a little drive.
Jasmine and Gina left unconscious in EastEnders’ Nigel car crash aftermath
A heartbroken Gina drowned her sorrows at The Albert. As Gina downed the shots, Jasmine pressed her for information on Cindy and her dodgy past. But why is Jasmine so interested?
Whatever the reason, Jasmine was thrilled to be getting all the dirt she’d craved on Cindy, and became frustrated with Oscar’s arrival. Bull-in-a-China-shop Oscar wasted little time causing chaos, annoying Jasmine and forcing the women to take their drinks out on the town.
Meanwhile, Nigel had become overwhelmed after stalling his car on a busy road. A call from Julie didn’t help matters, and he soon found himself in a tizz. And, as he rounded the corner, Nigel ploughed straight into Jasmine, who had pushed Gina out of the way of the oncoming car.
As both women lay unconscious in the road before him, shocked Nigel reeled at what he’d just done.
What happens next as Jasmine and Gina fight for their lives
In EastEnders spoilers for tomorrow, a shocked Nigel surveys the carnage he has wrought. But will Jasmine and Gina pull through?
While the soap hasn’t revealed the ladies’ fate just yet, Wednesday’s episode sees Julie lie and tell Nigel that she was the one who had been driving. Nigel’s not buying it though and, realising that he may have been responsible, decides to turn himself into Jack.
Will Jasmine and Gina pull through? And will the police charge Nigel for what he’s done?
