Walford had two big visitors tonight, as new faces arrived on Albert Square. The EastEnders episode saw the introduction of Jasmine Fisher\u2019s twin brother Josh Goodwin<\/a>, who arrived along with his adoptive mother Sandra. <\/p>\n

Bur Sandra and Josh’s arrival<\/a> has only led to more questions, as Jasmine’s dark past was further hinted to. <\/p>\n

Back in November, viewers had been introduced to Anita Fisher<\/a>, Jasmine’s adoptive mother who met up with Cindy and Lauren. While Anita didn’t give much information about Jasmine’s background, she did say her daughter had a “dangerous side”.<\/p>\n

Then last month, after Jasmine was charged with her father Anthony’s murder, it was revealed that Jasmine has a brother named Josh<\/a>, after Cindy heard a voicemail he’d left on his sister’s phone. <\/p>\n

Tonight, Kim and Denise discovered there was a woman asking around the Square about Jasmine. Assuming she was a journalist, the pair apprehended her and locked her in the salon to scare her away. <\/p>\n

But the woman was soon revealed to be Sandra, the adoptive mother of Josh, Jasmine’s brother. <\/p>\n

Kim, Denise, and Sandra were soon having a heart-to-heart, with Sandra sharing that her son Josh is an “out and proud gay man”.<\/p>\n

However the conversation soon turned when Sandra revealed that she had initially taken in both Jasmine and Josh when they were four-years-old. <\/p>\n

Kim then asked why she decided to give up Jasmine, to which Sandra replied: “There was an incident, and it was decided it was best if we separated the twins.” <\/p>\n

When Kim tried to press Sandra on “the incident”, Sandra said she didn’t want to talk about it, adding: “I can’t allow myself to go there.”<\/p>\n

Sandra said she then formally adopted Josh, leading to Jasmine deciding she never wanted to see either of them again. <\/p>\n

But while Sandra was getting to know Denise and Kim she had no idea that Josh had secretly followed her to Walford and was drinking at The Albert nearby. <\/p>\n

Later, as Sandra was leaving the salon with Denise and Kim, they saw Josh being kicked out of the Albert by Cindy, who mistakenly thought he was dealing drugs. <\/p>\n

Josh immediately asked his mum if she’d found out anything about Jasmine and Kim and Denise implored Sandra to tell him the truth. <\/p>\n

Sandra then formally introduced Josh to Denise and Kim, saying they were “more or less related” to his biological father, Anthony. <\/p>\n

But how long will it be before Josh runs into his biological mother, Zoe? And what is the dark secret in Jasmine’s past that Sandra doesn’t want to share?<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast. <\/p>\n
