Jasmine Fisher on trial for father's murder as family secrets unravel

Arts & entertainmentArts
Key Points
  • Jasmine Fisher is on trial for murdering her father Anthony Trueman, with family secrets including her parentage and past incidents revealed.
  • Legal strategies involve character statements and a potential guilty plea, while family members grapple with the trial's impact on relationships.
  • The trial's outcome may lead to departures from the community, with Sandra and Josh Goodwin planning a move to Southend.

Jasmine Fisher has a twin brother named Josh Goodwin, and Sandra Goodwin is Josh's mother and Jasmine's adoptive mother. Sandra Goodwin's husband died in a car crash while driving Jasmine Fisher to the swimming pool, and Jasmine Fisher has a history of lashing out and grabbing steering wheels while people are driving. Jasmine Fisher's lawyer Ritchie Scott is concerned that a character statement from Patrick Trueman could sway the trial against Jasmine, and Scott urges Kat Moon to give a character statement for Jasmine Fisher.

Jasmine Fisher must decide whether to give a statement in court or plead guilty in exchange for a shorter sentence, and she tells Kat Moon to pass a message to Zoe Slater that she is going to plead guilty to murder. Zoe Slater fears that Josh Goodwin will walk away from the family if Jasmine Fisher is convicted, and Kat Moon tracks down Sandra Goodwin to learn more about Jasmine Fisher's past, while Josh Goodwin visits Jasmine Fisher to hear the truth for himself. Sandra Goodwin and Josh Goodwin have been offered a fresh start in Southend and are planning to take it, but Zoe Slater does not know about Sandra and Josh's plans to move to Southend.

The verdict in Jasmine Fisher's trial is read out in court, and Kat Moon makes a bold declaration in The Vic after the trial, as a shock 'double exit' looks increasingly likely with the fallout from the trial threatening to tear families apart.
