It\u2019s set to be an emotional week in EastEnders as concerns build for Patrick Trueman<\/a> (Rudolph Walker<\/a>) after he\u2019s faced with a tough request from the police, and his family aren\u2019t sure he can handle it.<\/p>\n Things have already been tense following the explosive downfall of Jasmine Fisher<\/a> (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness<\/a>), whose entrance into Walford turned everything upside down. As the secret daughter of Zoe Slater<\/a> (Michelle Ryan<\/a>) and Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey), Jasmine didn\u2019t show up quietly; she came in with a mission.<\/p>\n After years of believing she\u2019d been abandoned, Jasmine set out to make Zoe pay, teaming up with the ever-chaotic Chrissie Watts and causing absolute havoc for the Slaters. Things eventually reached breaking point over Christmas, when Jasmine killed Anthony, claiming it was in self-defence, before letting Zoe take the blame.<\/p>\n Now locked up and awaiting trial, Jasmine\u2019s story is far from over\u2026 and it\u2019s about to have a huge impact on Patrick.<\/p>\n \t\t Next week, the Crown Prosecution Service<\/a> steps up the pressure and asks Patrick to record a video statement to be used in Jasmine\u2019s trial. It\u2019s a big ask, and one that leaves the Truemans seriously worried about how it might affect him.<\/p>\n Patrick has already been through a lot, and with emotions still running high around Anthony\u2019s death, the idea of reliving everything on camera feels like a lot to take. While the CPS continue to push for his cooperation, his loved ones are left questioning whether it\u2019s simply too much.<\/p>\n At the same time, things are complicated on another front.<\/p>\n Josh, Jasmine\u2019s twin brother, is still trying to find his place in Walford, and it hasn\u2019t been easy. After recently arriving in the Square and making quite the impression, he\u2019s slowly been getting to know the Trueman side of his family, including Patrick.<\/p>\n In fact, this week sees the pair growing closer, with Josh choosing to spend more time with his grandad instead of Zoe Slater, his birth mother, who\u2019s been trying and struggling to build a relationship with him.<\/p>\n \t\t Feeling overwhelmed by Zoe\u2019s attempts to connect, Josh starts to pull away, clearly not ready to forgive or forget everything that\u2019s happened. Instead, he finds comfort in Patrick, and the two begin forming a genuine bond.<\/p>\n But just as things start to settle, tensions flare again.<\/p>\n A poorly judged comment from Kim Fox<\/a> about Jasmine hits a nerve, leaving Josh upset and unsettled. It\u2019s a reminder that, no matter how hard he tries to move forward, his sister\u2019s actions are never far behind.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tDon’t miss a Soaps scoop!
