EastEnders fans reckon they know the true identity of newcomer Jasmine.

The new character made her debut this week, looking for a job at Walford bar The Albert. She quickly made an impression on Cindy Beale who agreed to give her a gig.

But according to a new fan theory, Cindy is going to seriously regret the decision…

Jasmine in EastEnders

This week, Jasmine rocked up to Albert Square, and managed to bag herself a job at The Albert. She also caught the attention of Oscar Branning, who is keen for a romance.

In Wednesday’s episode (September 24) Jasmine was back at work, getting to know Cindy and manager Elaine Thorpe. However, throughout the instalment, Jasmine’s behaviour sparked some concern…

After Cindy dished the dirt on her own wild life, Jasmine laughed along calling her “iconic.” But when Cindy walked away, her smile dropped. What’s more, when Elaine told Jasmine to bring her ID and documents in for the job, Jasmine appeared sheepish and shrugged it off.

Fans ‘work out’ Jasmine’s identity

And now, fans have ‘worked out’ the identity of Jasmine. On X, one person claimed she could have links to Jackie Ford, the criminal who was responsible for Cindy going into witness protection almost 30 years ago.

“So is new girl Jasmine part of Jackie Ford’s family out for revenge against Cindy? Jasmine Fisher/Jackie Ford, mysterious family…” said one person.

Someone else pointed out: “Mmmm I think Jasmine may be on the square for something related to Cindy rather than Zoe,” referring to a fan theory about Jasmine being Zoe Slater’s long-lost child.

Could Jasmine be out to get Cindy?

Who is Jackie Ford?

Fans will recall that in 2023, Cindy returned to the soap after over 20 years of being presumed dead.

In 1998, Cindy apparently died in prison while giving birth. But that wasn’t the case, as she actually was placed into witness protection. This was due to her sharing information about her criminal prison mate Jackie Ford, as part of a plea bargain.

After taking on a new name Rose Knight, Cindy was informed in 2023 that Jackie had died, meaning that Cindy could regain her original identity and return to Walford for good.
