She survived the devastating food truck blast that rocked Summer Bay, but Jasmine’s real nightmare is only just beginning in Home And Away this week.
As fans will recall, nurse Jasmine (Sam Frost) collapsed last week following the horrific food truck explosion. After bringing her off life support, surgeon Christian (Ditch Davey) was concerned when Jasmine couldn’t recall details of the explosion.
Christian thought she might have post-traumatic amnesia, but needed to run more tests and urged Jasmine to be patient. She herself couldn’t understand why she would have memory loss.
This week, things are only getting worse. Jasmine’s short-term recall seems shot to ribbons.

When Christian mentions Rachel’s (Marny Kennedy) terrible death – she was hit by a car after walking out of the hospital – both Jasmine and Irene (Lynne McGranger) are upset.
But within minutes, Jasmine again asks how Rachel is. Christian is at a loss to explain what’s going on.
“Christian has serious concerns for Jasmine and her level of injury,” Ditch, 48, tells TV WEEK. “It’s important to establish how much of her memory was affected in the early stages after the accident. He’s very concerned for his close friend and colleague.”

It’s a worried Irene who stops her from walking out the doors.
Just minutes later, Jasmine has no knowledge of what she’s tried to do and Irene has to explain things. Christian is determined to figure out what’s wrong before things deteriorate further.
“There are concerns about Jasmine’s short-term and long-term health,” Ditch explains. “But it’s important for Christian to remain objective in any diagnosis. Of course, having to deal with a close friend’s injury does blur the lines.”
