Welcome to the EastEnders spoilers thread, where we post and talk about any EE spoilers we've read about, including those in early release episodes on iPlayer.

Jasmine is faking the pain, when she took Oscars keys to go to his house she could've outrun Usain Bolt

70s , oh yes. She is faking it! I missed that bit.
Jeans behavior with Lily was so bizarre. I mean, who stops a mum seeing her child ?

Are we sure that wasn't just bad acting from Jasmine? She had an abdominal injury which needed a blood transfusion so must have been in some pain surely!

I agree Jean's behaviour was odd, even for Jean.

Jasmine holding her side reminded me of Lauren when she was on drugs that time following an accident of some kind ( which I can’t remember the details of now )

Why Elaine hasn’t sacked Jasmine is beyond me. She hasn’t provided any ID and is struggling at work ( even if it’s fake , she will have to pretend not to be able to do certain tasks) add in being evasive and the poor acting , it’s time for E to bin her off!

@Shellingbynight 😂
No, she definitely skipped off like a gazelle towards Lauren's house.
As if that was the only toilet around!
Didn't Lauren just come out of the community centre with Baby Jimmy, surely that has toilets (where Peat-ah changed Jimmy's pooey nappy and got hit on by the burlesque dancer whose name escapes me).
The whole script is ridiculous!

Oh yes, the burlesque dancer . Talk of a ‘ throuple ‘ with her and Pet ah and Lauren faded away.
Might have made a change from drugs / Jasmine Zo etc

Demi! That's her name.
Another flash in the pan.

Oh yes, Demi.
Nobody mentions Jimmy now do they ? Does Jasmine realize she’ll also be sharing with a baby in Sonia’s old place?

Facebook made the point that Jasmine met Oscar originally through a dating app, yet she hasn’t any other kind of social media accounts. My own knowledge of dating apps is zero, but it shows she knows her way around modern tech and enough to meet Oscar. Her surname is probably fake. She is lying and hiding things and probably does have SM under her real name.

The surname she gave is Fisher, i.e. she is fishing for information. EE don't do subtle!

Oh yes Demi, who seemed an important character for ten minutes, then disappeared without trace once she'd achieved the plot of of PeTah arranging a wedding two days later for Max's reappearance.

Fisher : fishing ! Yep
If Jasmine is part of the Ford family who were once after Cindy etc , this may also be a clue ( keeping the same first letter , makes it easier for her to remember the new fake name maybe ?)
However, whoever is behind her hasn’t thought of theID situation! Unless Elaine now conveniently forgets she ever wanted it. They are sending her out cold without any kind of back up too.

That is a good point. I would have thought the Fords and their contacts would have easy access to fake ID. Which makes me think she isn't connected to them, her sleuthing is very amateur.

Yes. The note that Oscar read on the fruit basket implies that she is up to something, but they haven’t really helped her much with anything in order to get this information or revenge or whatever the ‘mission’ is! Fake ID , fake social media accounts anbd so on are easy to do for the average criminal and the Fords are notorious! In fact I was surprised that Cindy did get on their wrong side really to start with.

I hate the fact that Zoe isn’t telling anyone who the dad is. I know it’s for plot purposes, I know it’s to drag it all out and I know it’ll probably be Anthony , but why isn’t she saying anything? She can speak to him, she hasn’t any reason to fear him and he could even help her to find him. Why all the unnecessary cloak and dagger stuff? It’s just frustrating now.

Unless it's Alfie, I don't get the secrecy about the father (I don't think it's Alfie)
It has to be a past character to make the "drama" worth it but she was only with Dennis, Den and Anthony IIRC.
If it turns out to be a randomer then what's the point?
There is no old ex character living in Ibiza is there? Ronnie and Roxy were the only connection there.

I suppose if you look at it from the perspective of Zoe returning and causing chaos, concealing the father has done that. And it has got people talking although probably not quite in the way the producers hoped!

The Ibiza connection is strange isn’t it.
George and Cindy lived in Marbella and only R and R were in Ibiza. I do recall Alfie going off to Spain, but that was long after 05.

Loads of characters have gone to 'Spain' although not Ibiza.

We knew Zoe lived in Ibiza for a while. I thought the keyring was simply a device dropped there so that when her son/daughter turns up holding it, we know it's them. Corrie used a similar device when Bernie was looking for her son who she gave up shortly after birth.

Even though she left to go abroad ( I think ) she clearly returned to have the babies in Stretham with her Ibiza key ring.
I recall Kat mentioning her once and she was selling time shares and she had a new boyfriend and doing well.
The flashback with Max was in the Uk.

I think we knew she was back from Ibiza about 6 or 7 years ago, Kat was told she was in London? Something like that. But as you say she was also in the UK (conveniently!) to have the babies in 2006.

Was the babies dad in streatham ? So many questions eh?

If Anthony is the dad, is it possible (or ee possible) that he somehow found out about the twins being his, and they are the kids he has now, or rather his wife has now. Maybe him or his wife were working at the hospital at the time, the babies could/would have had dna taken etc to try and find birth parents, and Anthony was a match.
Its all a bit weird because he seemed ok with Zoe to begin with, but it's gone a bit sour.

Nothing is actually happening in the show, you could miss weeks of episodes and not miss a thing. This thread is the most exciting part

I did read a ‘fan theory ‘ on Facebook about Anthony and his wife adopting the twins ( or the one that survived , or maybe both of the girl did live in the end )
He mentioned his children last week didn’t he.
However, he wouid have to have kept this a secret from Patrick or maybe they didn’t want people to know.
His Brother took the rap for him over something and went to jail for it , so he is good at deception !
it’s a good theory , probably too good for these writers ! Lol

I thought Anthony's children were reasonably young when he spoke about them, but could be mistaken.
That would be quite a likely soap storyline. Random adoption by doctor working in the hospital who turns out to be the actual father 🙃🙄🤔
