In a devastating new turn on EastEnders, Jasmine Fisher's fragile hopes for a family were shattered once more after a painful rejection from her grandfather, Patrick Trueman.
A Legacy of Abandonment
The troubled youngster, played by Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness, has endured a lifetime of let-downs. Her true identity as the daughter of Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) and the late Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey) was a recent revelation, explaining her deep-seated scars from being abandoned at birth.
Her brief alliance with supervillain Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman) collapsed in terror, leaving her isolated. After being kicked out by her adoptive mother and with her biological father dead, Jasmine's search for belonging grew desperate.
A Grandfather's Grief-Fuelled Rejection
Seeking solace with on-off boyfriend Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier), Jasmine finally confessed her tumultuous past. Oscar, reeling, suggested she connect with her grieving grandad, Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker).
In a heartbreaking scene aired on December 30, 2025, Jasmine arrived at Patrick's with flowers, only to find him raw with grief and half-cut. When she revealed she was his granddaughter, Patrick dismissed her, believing it to be a cruel trick orchestrated by the Slaters. Overwhelmed, he retreated to his bedroom.
Despite kind words from Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter), who urged patience, Jasmine fled—feeling rejected yet again by a parental figure.
The Slaters Close Ranks
Alone and vulnerable in the café, Jasmine faced a furious tirade from Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins). However, in a powerful moment of defiance, Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) arrived with Alfie Moon, shutting Cindy down.
Kat declared Jasmine her granddaughter and warned the Square that anyone with an issue would have the entire Slater clan to contend with. As Tommy Moon joined them, a protective circle formed around Jasmine, forcing Cindy to back down.
This dramatic stand suggests Jasmine is now a solidified part of the Slater family. However, with the family reeling from a blood-soaked Christmas and Patrick's rejection still raw, questions remain. Can this fragile new bond hold, or will Jasmine find herself cast out into the cold once more?
