EastEnders airs exit amid Jasmine Fisher’s trial verdict in early iPlayer release

Published by Sam Flores

EastEnders spoilers follow for Thursday’s episode (9 April), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn’t yet aired on TV. EastEnders has revealed the jury’s verdict in Jasmine’s Fisher’s trial for the murder of her biological dad Anthony Trueman. Things haven’t looked too good for Jasmine this week, as despite arguing she killed Anthony in self-defence, damning statements from Patrick and Kat cast doubt on this story. Kat felt bad about faltering on the stand and persuaded Jasmine to stick with her not guilty plea and to give her side of the story. Jasmine faced tough questions from the prosecution though and, afterwards, the jury didn’t take too long to reach a verdict. BBC Related: Best streaming services Viewers were left on a cliffhanger as Jasmine’s fate was left up in the air. But in today’s episode, it was confirmed she’d been found not guilty of murder – to the delight of the Slaters and the horror of the Truemans.

Jasmine is currently behind bars following the murder of Anthony Trueman, which she has subsequently claimed was committed in self-defence.

BBC Related: Best streaming services UK 2026 — including Disney Plus, Netflix, iPlayer and Apple TV With the trial set to take place in next week’s scenes, it remains to be seen if Jasmine will be found guilty of the highest charge of murder, and Donaldson-Holness – who portrays the character – has shared that her character will be fearing the worst. “She’s terrified because she’s facing the possibility of either spending a long time in prison or being found innocent and released; both outcomes feel scary to her in their own right,” said the actor. “She knows the truth about what happened and hopes others will believe …

Scottish EastEnders star’s life from terrifying health battles to beach wedding

Popular BBC soap EastEnders has welcomed two new faces as Josh Goodwin arrives in Walford alongside his adoptive mother, Sandra. Earlier this week on the BBC soap, Sandra (Dawn Steele) came looking for answers after Josh’s (Joshua Vaughan) twin sister, Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness), was charged with the murder of their biological father, Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey). Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and her sister Kim (Tameka Empson) wasted no time in quizzing Sandra about her interest in Jasmine, but were soon taken aback by the teen’s backstory, reports The Record. Sandra revealed she and her husband, Keith, had initially taken in both Jasmine and Josh when they were four years old. Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) gave the siblings up for adoption shortly after birth. Kim then asked why she decided to give up Jasmine, to which Sandra replied: “There was an incident, and it was decided it was best if we separated the twins.” When Kim tried to press Sandra on “the incident”, Sandra said she didn’t want to talk about it, adding: “I can’t …

Representative Jasmine Crockett Claimed I Wasn’t Kicked Out of Her Rally. Here’s the Audio.

Published by Daniella Wilson

I was not expecting Representative Jasmine Crockett’s team to call me a “top-notch hater”; kick me out of her rally in Lubbock, Texas; and march me to the side of a county road to wait for a ride. But I was much more surprised by what the congresswoman said later. A CBS reporter on Wednesday asked Crockett about a report that I had been ejected from her rally and that her campaign had called the Capitol Police on a CNN journalist, alleging that he had trespassed by attempting to visit a campaign office. “It’s silly season,” Crockett said. “There is a specific journalist who is, she has a history of being less than truthful, and frankly there’s no evidence of anything that she’s talking about.” The Democrat from Texas continued to riff: The journalist in question had been previously and successfully sued for defamation, she claimed. “It is sad that there is any news outlet that actually would have her on staff when,” Crockett said, “the one thing that matters most is truth.” I agree …

EastEnders star reveals Chrissie Watts’s fear of Jasmine Fisher

Published by Daniella Wilson

Chrissie Watts is a real force to be reckoned with. In just 226 episodes of EastEnders, actress Tracy-Ann Oberman has been afforded some of the finest dialogue in soap history, and the character is responsible for killing off one of the drama’s biggest antagonists – ‘Dirty’ Den (Leslie Grantham). Being the successor to Anita Dobson’s Angie as the second Mrs Watts is quite the task, though Oberman went into the audition relatively nerve-free, as she wasn’t aware which role she was aiming for. “There was only five names down for this recall [audition], and apart from me, every single one of them was a household name,” she recalled to Radio Times this week, just one day after her latest return. Oberman recalled her first meeting with “Dirty” Den star Leslie Grantham. BBC/John Rogers “I didn’t know what it was for, other than being a regular character’s new wife. I think at that time, Ian Beale had just got rid of another wife, and my flatmate at the time was a huge EastEnders fan, so she was …

Jasmine Crockett and the cost of authenticity

Jasmine Crockett and the cost of authenticity

Published by Sam Flores

Two years ago, Tina Fey appeared on “Las Culturistas,” one of my favorite podcasts, and delivered a line that immediately ricocheted across the internet and stuck with me personally: “Authenticity is dangerous and expensive.” Fey’s statement landed both with me and the wider world because it felt true. I was in the midst of a deep exploration about authenticity for my forthcoming book in which I draw a conclusion that her pithy remark sums up well: Authenticity — at least as it is currently understood and enforced — is not a liberating ideal for people of color. Instead it operates as a sorting mechanism that rewards those whose identities already align with power and penalizes those whose truth challenges it. Hosted by comedians Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, “Las Culturistas,” works because it feels like a glimpse into a FaceTime call between two of your funniest and most joyfully self-aware friends. But as its popularity has grown, so has the risk that accompanies the type of candor the hosts offer. In a recent episode, Rogers …

EastEnders’ Cindy Beale and Max Branning team up after Jasmine threat

Published by Daniella Wilson

Max Branning (Jake Wood) and Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) joining forces in EastEnders? Sounds like trouble to us! Let’s face it – these two are never going to see eye-to-eye, as confirmed when their festive fumble was exposed in true soapy drama at the beginning of the year. Neither had an idea of who the other one was, and it became pretty apparent that they had no intentions of hooking up again. Despite their differences, and the fact Max killed Cindy’s son Steven, they’ve managed to find some mutual ground in today’s episode. Max (Jake Wood) was shocked by Jasmine’s (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) bombshell. BBC/Jack Barns/Kieron McCarron It comes after Max was accused of trying to kiss his son Oscar’s (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) girlfriend Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness), something she fabricated as a way of distracting from the fact she is planning to flee Walford. Having killed her own father Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey) on Christmas Day, and with mum Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) taking the rap for his death, Jasmine knows that the clock is ticking. She …

New Year’s resolutions are always made with the best intentions, but as the months roll by they can be hard to maintain – just ask Max Branning. EastEnders’ tormented lothario vowed to atone for his sins in 2026 and be a better dad, but a flash-forward to January 1st 2027 showed the character embroiled in all manner of chaos. Exactly how Max gets himself into these mysterious multiple scrapes will be explained as we get closer to New Year’s Day. It’s not just fans entering into a year-long guessing game, actor Jake Wood is just as in the dark as to what’s to come for his chaotic character. “There are so many questions and directions they can take it in, it’s almost open-ended,” begins the star, speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com. “I was surprised when I read the script for the flash-forward and found out what Max was up to – did he really plan to murder someone or has he been framed? Is he the father of that woman’s baby? Who is he marrying? We …
