In a shocking revelation, EastEnders has uncovered the identity of Dr. Anthony Trueman’s killer, a twist that has left fans astounded. The dramatic events unfolded in the episode airing on January 15, 2026, on BBC iPlayer.

Dr. Anthony Trueman’s Fatal Blow

On Christmas Day 2025, Dr. Anthony Trueman, portrayed by Nicholas Bailey, was struck down in a tragic series of events. Initially attacked by Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) in the Vic, he later suffered a fatal blow that led to his death.

Zoe Slater’s Misunderstanding

• Zoe awoke to find Anthony dead and mistakenly believed she was responsible for his demise.
• She turned herself in to the police, facing murder charges after subsequent interviews.

Unveiling the True Murderer

As the story unfolded, Zoe’s mother, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), and her newly discovered daughter, Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness), suspected that Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman) was behind the act. Chrissie returned to Walford on Christmas Day, marking her torment over Zoe.

Kat’s Mission

• Kat traveled to Greece to confront Chrissie and expose her alleged plans against Zoe.
• Meanwhile, familial tensions erupted as Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) left Walford to take a break from the chaos.

Jasmine Fisher’s Dark Descent

Jasmine’s struggles continued, particularly in her interactions with family. An incident with Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) nearly escalated into violence, showcasing Jasmine’s volatile state. During a visit to the Trueman home, Jasmine became increasingly agitated and ultimately went on a reckless night out.

The Fatal Confrontation

On January 15, Jasmine returned to face the fallout from her actions. Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker), Anthony’s grandfather, confronted her about his son’s troubled history. This revelation left Jasmine enraged, driving her to confront Anthony’s grave.

The Shocking Twist

In a dramatic turn of events, Jasmine confessed to her father in a private moment, revealing she had no remorse for the murder. She produced video evidence showing her striking Anthony during a confrontation.

• “You could have killed her, but I stopped you,” Jasmine stated, showcasing her dark transformation.
• With chilling words, she warned her father: “It’s nice to finally meet you, Dad. Now rot in hell.”

Future Implications

As the storyline progresses, it remains uncertain whether Jasmine will allow Zoe to take the fall for her crime. The upcoming episodes will explore Jasmine’s attempt to flee Walford with her boyfriend, Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier), leaving viewers in suspense about her fate.
