If you've been keeping up with the latest episodes of EastEnders, you might be feeling a little bewildered. Who exactly is this enigmatic newcomer Jasmine Fisher, and what is she after? And just who are the infamous Fords that have been causing such chaos for the Beale family?
Unfortunately, I can't give you all the answers. But I do have some insight into the notorious crime syndicate that has been looming over Walford, even though they have yet to make an appearance on screen.
It all started when Cindy Beale found herself sharing a prison cell with Jackie Ford, the fierce matriarch of the Ford family. Desperate for a way out, Cindy made a deal with the police to inform on Jackie's criminal activities. But this put her in serious danger, leading her to fake her own death while giving birth to her daughter, Cindy Jr.
Even though Cindy's supposed death was meant to protect her family, the threat against them was still very real. So when Cindy's stepdaughter, Lucy, was murdered, she was convinced it was a hit ordered by the Fords.
But how did Cindy end up behind bars in the first place? Well, she's always been a bit of a troublemaker. She came to Walford and immediately caused drama by getting involved in a love triangle between Simon Wicks and Ian Beale. She even got pregnant by Simon and tried to pass the baby off as Ian's. Eventually, she ran off when the truth came out, but later returned to give birth to twins with Ian.
Cindy's life only got more complicated from there, as she started feuds with various residents of Walford. She also had a string of affairs, and when Ian found out, he turned cruel. This led Cindy to hire a hitman to take care of her marriage problems.
When the Mitchell brothers tracked down the hitman, Cindy fled to Italy but was eventually found and brought back to the UK to face a custody battle. She was later arrested for conspiracy to murder and sent to prison.
After her release, Cindy started a new life under the name Rose Sawyer. She met and married George Knight and had two daughters. But when she returned to Walford after Lucy's death, she was sanctioned by the police and told she couldn't see her family. She eventually reconnected with Ian, and the two moved to France with their son Peter.
But when Peter learned he had two sisters living in Walford, he returned to meet them. And Cindy's police handler informed her that Jackie Ford had passed away, and the Ford crime family had all but disappeared. With her old life now open to her, Cindy returned to Albert Square.
And that's when Jasmine Fisher arrived on the scene. From the very beginning, it was clear that Jasmine was after information on Cindy. She even managed to get a job at the Albert and spent all her free time digging into Cindy's past.
Jasmine's mysterious nature raised some eyebrows, especially when Elaine Peacock questioned her lack of documentation and refusal to reveal anything about her life. When Jasmine mentioned that she left home to avoid getting involved in the "family business," Elaine assumed that her family must be involved in criminal activities.
This week's episodes saw Cindy and Lauren Branning team up to investigate Jasmine. They found her phone and arranged a meeting with her mother, Anita. But when they confronted her, Anita could only reveal that Jasmine has a dark and dangerous side and that her father's family is dangerous. Cindy immediately assumed that Jasmine is a member of the Fords.
Panicked, Cindy went to Ian and begged him to gather the family and go into hiding. But he dismissed her concerns. When Cindy saw Jasmine having a drink outside the pub, she lost her cool and shouted that she knew who Jasmine really was. Things quickly escalated, and Cindy ended up falling down the stairs while trying to confront Jasmine.
When Oscar found Cindy, he went to tell the family, just as Ian was informing them of Cindy's suspicions about Jasmine. As they were discussing the Fords' power and danger, Jasmine showed up. And when Oscar defended her, Ian realized just how much of a threat the Fords are.
Meanwhile, Jasmine refused to reveal anything about her past or her possible connection to the Fords. But as she left the hospital, it seemed like she might have unfinished business with Cindy.
So, the question remains: is Jasmine really a Ford, sent to seek revenge on Cindy for her betrayal? Or is there more to her story? Only time will tell.
