EastEnders flashforward: Does Jasmine have a target on her back?

After this week’s explosive events involving Max and Jasmine, many viewers believe he wants to get rid of her. For good.

The Branning family has been in turmoil ever since Oscar announced his plans to leave Albert Square with Jasmine. Convinced she is nothing but trouble, Max has been desperate to stop the pair from running away together.

Jasmine, however, struck back by claiming Max tried to kiss her, an accusation that sounded believable, given his history.

Since then, Max has gone into full damage control mode. He is trying to keep his family intact while stopping Oscar from leaving the country. He has even teamed up with his enemy, Cindy Beale, in a desperate bid to get rid of Jasmine.
