EastEnders Reveals Jasmine Fisher As Anthony Trueman’s Killer

The long-standing mystery surrounding the death of Dr. Anthony Trueman on EastEnders has finally reached its astonishing conclusion, sending shockwaves through Walford and its loyal viewers. On January 15, 2026, an episode now streaming on BBC iPlayer confirmed the true killer in a dramatic twist that’s already the talk of soapland. The events, which unfolded over the Christmas holiday, have upended the lives of several key characters and left fans reeling from the implications.

Anthony Trueman’s demise occurred on Christmas Day 2025, following a heated altercation with his ex-lover Zoe Slater in the Queen Vic. According to Metro and Daily Star, Anthony struck his head against a wall during the confrontation, leading Zoe to believe she was responsible for his death. Wracked with guilt, Zoe turned herself in to the police, determined to take responsibility for what she thought was a tragic accident. But as is often the case in Walford, things were far more complicated than they first appeared.

Initial suspicion quickly shifted away from Zoe when it was revealed that Anthony’s fatal wound came from a subsequent blow to the skull, not the one she inflicted. Kat Slater, Zoe’s mother, became convinced that Chrissie Watts had orchestrated a setup to frame Zoe, perhaps as retribution for her own two decades spent behind bars. Kat’s suspicions led her on a desperate journey to Corfu, where she hoped to confront Chrissie and get to the bottom of the mystery. Meanwhile, Jasmine Fisher—Kat’s newly discovered daughter—remained in Walford, her presence stirring unease among the Slater clan.

Jean Slater, never one to shy away from voicing her concerns, openly suspected Jasmine of being involved in Anthony’s death. Her warnings, however, were largely dismissed by her family, who were preoccupied with their own grief and suspicions. As the funeral for Anthony approached, Patrick Trueman—Anthony’s father—hoped to bring the family together, inviting Jasmine to join him at the funeral parlour. Initially, Jasmine refused, still reeling from both her own emotional turmoil and the revelations about Anthony’s past.

According to Inside Soap and Everything Gossip, Jasmine’s erratic behavior in the days leading up to the funeral raised eyebrows. She was seen returning to Walford the day before the funeral, disheveled and intoxicated, riding on the back of a milk lorry. Yolande Trueman, ever the peacemaker, tried to help Jasmine sober up, but the young woman was in no mood to be comforted, fleeing the café and avoiding any talk of Anthony’s funeral arrangements. Oscar Branning, worried about Jasmine, left her a voicemail after not hearing from her, but she remained elusive.

Amidst this chaos, Jasmine was preoccupied with a mysterious video on her phone. She even managed to flirt with Zack Hudson, only for Chelsea Fox to intervene and urge her to stop mistreating Patrick. In a moment of frustration, Chelsea let slip that Anthony was “no saint,” a comment that sent Jasmine storming to confront the entire family at No.20. There, Patrick finally revealed the truth about his son: Anthony had been controlling, his ex-wife had taken out a restraining order against him and their children, and he had been obsessed with Zoe. Despite these revelations, Patrick maintained, “I still believe Anthony was a good man.”

These confessions proved to be a turning point for Jasmine. After venting her anger, she reconsidered and agreed to accompany the family to the chapel of rest to say goodbye to Anthony. The scene was emotional, with Patrick, Yolande, Denise, and Kim paying their respects. But the most dramatic moment was yet to come.

Once alone with Anthony’s body, Jasmine’s demeanor shifted. She pulled out her phone and played the video she had recorded on Christmas Day. The footage, as reported by Metro and Filmogaz, showed Anthony attacking Zoe in the Vic. With Zoe unconscious on the floor, Jasmine intervened—striking Anthony in an attempt to protect her mother. The video confirmed what many fans had begun to suspect: Jasmine was, in fact, Anthony’s killer.

In a chilling private confession to her father’s lifeless body, Jasmine declared, “You could have killed her. But I stopped you. It’s nice to finally meet you, dad. Now rot in hell.” Her words left no doubt about her lack of remorse and the depth of her anger. The revelation not only exonerates Zoe, who remains in prison, but also raises urgent questions about whether Jasmine’s secret will come to light—and whether Zoe will be freed.

The fallout from this revelation is already being felt across Walford. Kat’s search for Chrissie Watts in Greece, motivated by a desperate need to clear her daughter’s name, now seems tragically misguided. Jean Slater’s earlier suspicions about Jasmine have been vindicated, though her warnings went unheeded at the time. Meanwhile, the rest of the family must grapple with the knowledge that Anthony, once seen as a victim, was himself deeply flawed—and that the true perpetrator was someone they considered one of their own.

Jasmine’s actions in the aftermath of the murder only add to the complexity. As El-Balad reports, she has shown little remorse, even contemplating fleeing Walford with her boyfriend Oscar Branning. Her volatile behavior, including a near-violent incident with Lily Slater, suggests a young woman on the edge, struggling with guilt, anger, and a fractured sense of belonging. The question now is whether she will allow Zoe to take the fall for her crime or if her secret will inevitably come out, forcing her to face the consequences.

For EastEnders fans, this twist marks the culmination of weeks of speculation and fan theories. The show’s writers have once again demonstrated their knack for weaving complex, emotionally charged storylines that keep viewers guessing until the very end. As the dust settles, Walford is left to pick up the pieces—and viewers are left wondering what the future holds for Jasmine, Zoe, and the rest of the Slater and Trueman families.

With the truth finally out, the stage is set for further drama, heartbreak, and—perhaps—redemption. But in true EastEnders fashion, nothing is ever simple, and the ramifications of Jasmine’s actions are sure to reverberate across Albert Square for months to come.
