Jasmine Fisher Kat Moon Share Add as preferred source on Google Add as preferred source on Google By Claire Crick 7 Apr 2026, 12:04 By Claire Crick 7 Apr 2026, 12:04 WARNING: This article is full of spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is streaming on BBC iPlayer now, but has not yet aired on BBC One, and sees Jasmine’s trial kick off. Today’s EastEnders sees Jasmine’s murder trial begin, but as Kat takes the stand, some things don’t add up. Jasmine’s trial begins in EastEnders Despite Kat not being sure about Jasmine’s innocence, she agrees to take the stand for the defence in a bid to keep Zoe happy. At first, Kat does well, answering tricky questions about Jasmine’s personality with concise responses. However, as the questioning continues, Kat is put under pressure. And when she is asked if Jasmine could be lying about killing Anthony in self-defence, she says yes. Things don’t look good for Jasmine after Kat’s time in the stand. But there are other things about the court case that have left everyone baffled. Article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Here are the five biggest plot holes so far… Richie convinced Kat to help Jasmine (Credit: BBC) 1. Where is Jasmine’s adoptive mum? While it is clear that there is little love lost between Jasmine and her adoptive mum, Anita, you would have thought she might be in court as her daughter stands trial for killing her biological father. When Cindy met with Anita a few months ago, she confirmed that Jasmine had a ‘dangerous’ side. But does this mean they are so estranged that she wouldn’t show up for one of the biggest days of Jasmine’s life? 2. Why hasn’t Anthony’s wife’s restraining order been bought up? So far, there has been no mention of the fact that Anthony’s wife had a restraining order out on him. Or that she wouldn’t let their children attend his funeral. It might be that the information has been omitted to ensure a fair trial, but with Patrick painting his son as an angel, surely some balance would be helpful to the jury? Perhaps this will be brought up when Ritchie makes her arguments… only time will tell.Don't miss a single story!

The trial is underway in EastEnders, but there are plot holes (Credit: BBC) 3. Why has there been no mention of Jamsine’s other crimes at her trial? The fact that Jasmine pushed Cindy down the stairs, or the fact that she set fire to a house with Zoe trapped inside, hasn’t been mentioned in the court case at all. This is information that the prosecution could definitely use to paint a picture of someone on trial for murder. 4. EastEnders: Jasmine’s trial – why is Kim so vocal about being team Anthony? While it is understandable that the Trueman’s aren’t happy about the way Anthony went from being a respected doctor to a stalker whose wife took out a restraining order on him, why is Kim so team Anthony? She and Anthony were never that close, so why is she so adamant that Jasmine is a cold-blooded killer? Chelsea saw Anthony for who he really was before he died. Wouldn’t she have told Kim what he said to her about keeping Zoe’s kids from her? Jasmine’s phone, containing the video evidence, was found last week (Credit: BBC) 5. Why is the video not enough evidence of self-defence? The video, which we have all seen a million times now, clearly shows Anthony attacking Zoe and then charging towards Jasmine. Why is this not enough to prove that Jasmine was scared for her own life? In today’s episode, the prosecution says Anthony could have been worried when he saw Jasmine was filming him, and that’s why he went for her. But would this argument be strong enough to stand up in court? With all these questions waiting to be answered, only time will tell if Jasmine will be found guilty or not. This trial isn’t set to run for long, and by Thursday, Jasmine’s fate will be decided by the jury. Will she be going to prison or heading back to Walford?
