Josh and Jasmine finally talk about their past (Credit: BBC) Bridges are built after Jasmine’s trial Despite the family divide, the atmosphere warms up and Yolande corners Jasmine for a chat. She tells her that Patrick knows the outcome and that they should all get together when he’s home. Jasmine seems surprised but pleased by this olive branch, and it seems that perhaps she won’t be completely cut out by the Truemans as she’d feared. Josh also wants to talk to Jasmine, but she points out that Sandra is giving them daggers. They head upstairs to talk, and Josh asks why she left all those years ago. Jasmine eventually opens up about Keith’s death and gives her version of events. Josh is shocked when she details how Keith died and that she tried to help him, but it was too late. She says she blames herself for his death because everyone else did, too. She says she has always thought that she somehow caused the crash because she had been labelled a ‘bad child’. Josh’s heart breaks for his twin when she says she left because she was worried that she could cause harm to him if she stayed. They hug and get back on track for the first time in years. Sandra and Jasmine start to open up (Credit: BBC) Josh stays put in Walford Later, Josh finds Sandra in McKlunky’s, and she asks how his talk with Jasmine went. She tells him she knows he wants to stay in Walford and not move to Southend, so she has cleared it with Denise and Kim for him to live with them. He is thrilled and promises to visit Sandra all the time. But as they are talking, Jasmine watches them through the window. Sandra leaves Albert Square with tears in her eyes, but as she goes, she bumps into Jasmine. The pair have a heart-to-heart where Jasmine asks why Sandra could love Josh and not her. Sandra struggles to answer and tells her that her grief over losing her husband led her to say some things she didn’t mean. The pair are just opening up to one another when Kat comes out of the pub and sees them talking. She interrupts and turns on Sandra, and fans are fuming! “Kat really annoyed me at the end, barging out and ruining what seemed like the only sincere moment those two will ever have,” said one fan on Reddit. “I was really enjoying Sandra and Jasmine finally talking, and then Kat came along and ruined it,” agreed another viewer. Someone else echoed the sentiment: “I thought that too. I think both of them needed that moment, and they were getting somewhere (all things considered!) until Kat did that!” Kat tells Jasmine she is a Slater now (Credit: BBC) Fans were shocked by Sandra’s exit Over on X, fans are surprised to see Sandra leaving. But, they aren’t convinced this is the last we have seen of her… “I don’t feel like that’s the last we’ll see of Sandra. I still think something bad happened in Jasmine’s childhood to explain her anger issues and that it’s still to come out,” explained one fan. Someone else agreed: “Is that Sandra gone now? I didn’t see that coming!” Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders?
