When it comes to Home and Away’s Jasmine Delaney, you’d be hard pressed to remember a time when we weren’t so sure on the Summer Bay local.
But like all characters we’ve seen come and go on the iconic Aussie soap, the mysterious nurse had some very humble beginnings when she first broke onto our screens back in 2017.
Of course, she caught our attention immediately given the character was played by former Bachelorette Sam Frost, whose acting prowess couldn’t be ignored.
But there was something else about Jasmine that’s really hit home for the show’s loyal viewers – and looking back now, it’s easy to see why she so quickly became a fellow legend of The Bay.
Jasmine first arrived in Summer Bay as one of it’s most loved former residents left – in a casket, no less.

And interestingly, the cause of said resident’s death, copper Kat Chapman, was a direct result of Jasmine.
Why does Australia love this misunderstood character so much? It all comes down to her likability and iconic redemption arc.
We take a look back at her character Jasmine’s best storylines.
Jasmine 4
Jasmine first appeared on the show in December 2017 when she was the sole driver of a car involved in a collision with resident cop Kat Chapman. Kat died at the scene, while the then unknown Jasmine was rushed to hospital with severe injuries.
Jasmine 2
She almost died, and were it not for the show’s beloved doctor Tori Morgan, we mightn’t have had a narrative for the misunderstood nurse at all.
Jasmine 3
The new Summer Bay resident quickly formed friendships, being taken in by long-timer Lea Patterson, who helped her as her back story was finally revealed. Jasmine had been running from a troubled past, which involved an abusive and obsessive boyfriend.
Jasmine Colby
And thus began one of Jasmine’s first Summer Bay flings. Colby, the new cop in town, helps her through the ex-boyfriend stalker ordeal, and the two form a romantic connection. While the pair never get together officially, they attempt a “casual” relationship, before deciding it isn’t going to work due to the dangerous nature of Colby’s job and the potential for Jasmine to get caught up in it.

Proposal
No matter though. Jasmine quickly then forms a relationship with the show’s misunderstood “bad boy” Robbo. While there’s plenty of to-ing and fro-ing, the pair eventually seal the deal – with Robbo even proposing to Jasmine.

The pair eventually marry (after a six-month hiatus from Robbo, who gets caught up in a drama with Jasmine’s friend Tori, who became pregnant with his baby via IVF).
Jasmine Willow
Of course, Jasmine has her besties by her side for the big day. Willow remains the nurse’s go-to through thick and thin, so you can bet she was front and centre at the wedding.

Fans might also remember the stunning dress Jasmine wore – one of our favourite gowns of all time throughout the soaps’ multi-faceted history of weddings!
Robbo and Jasmine tie the knot on Home and Away

When Tori and Robbo’s baby, Grace, is born, Jasmine becomes a big part of her life.
Baby
Perhaps too close – as Jasmine hopes to have a baby with Robbo, the Summer Bay resident struggles to detach from baby Grace.
Funeral
But before the pair can become a proper family themselves, Robbo dies in a tragic car accident, leaving Sam distraught. Sam spoke about filming the harrowing scenes, telling TVWEEK: “I have goosebumps just talking about this. We shot the scene [when Robbo dies] in one take and had all cameras set up at different angles. Afterwards, I was on the ground crying hysterically – it felt so real.”
Jasmine 1
Jasmine continues to struggle with the reality of losing her partner, but later finds out she is carrying his child.
Jasmine Tori
In May 2020, the Summer Bay beauty was delivered another tragic blow – she miscarried the baby.
Jasmine farm
After a tumultuous few months, Jasmine temporarily leaves The Bay to begin a new chapter on the Shaw family farm, which belongs to the family of her late partner Robbo. But she can’t avoid the past, and when Colby and Irene make a plea for Jasmine to return to the sandy shores of Summer Bay, she eventually does so.
Jasmine
When Jasmine found out that her estranged had died, she carried on like everything was fine until her brother showed up at her doorstep and her past quickly caught up with her. Home and Away fans were thrilled to get more insight into Jasmine’s life before Summer Bay and it was indeed a family affair.
Jasmine
When Felicity was in the throes of a meltdown after her brother Cash sent her a mood-altering text, Jasmine was forced to play babysitter and try and calm her down.
Jasmine
It was the most shocking event of 2021 when a bizarre toxic chemical attack left the lives of several Summer Bay favourites on the line. Jasmine stepped up to try and save Tane’s life and others by performing CPR and proved she would do anything it takes to see her fellow peers survive.
Jasmine
Jasmine’s relationship with her half-sister Rose hasn’t been an easy one. The blonde beauty couldn’t accept that their father treated her sibling with the love she had never received. So, when well-meaning Xander decided to step in and try to help the girls with a volleyball match, things quickly turned ugly on the court. The competitive game kept audiences on the edge of their seats while tensions rose.
