Jasmine Thomas is a fictional character from the British soap opera Emmerdale, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman. She made her first screen appearance in the episode broadcast on 30 June 2005 and her last appearance on 26 March 2009.
Roxanne Pallett originally auditioned for the role of Jasmine, however, it was Coleman who was eventually cast. Coleman told Laura Davidson of the Sunday Mail that she had always wanted to act and planned on going to a drama school, but the audition for Emmerdale came up and she went for it. She said "It was a big decision but I put drama school on the back burner to join the show. I might go back at some point but for now I just thank my lucky stars I've started off in this industry with such a fantastic break." The part of Jasmine was Coleman's first acting job and she relocated to Leeds to be near the set for filming.
During the school holidays, Jasmine's parents send her to stay with her uncle Ashley (John Middleton) in Emmerdale. Jasmine is initially unhappy and lonely but soon befriends Steph Stokes (Lorraine Chase), Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) and Daz Eden (Luke Tittensor). Jasmine returns when she is suspended from school and helps her grandfather, Sandy (Freddie Jones), settle in. Jasmine and Ashley's wife, Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy), help Sandy and Ashley bond. After briefly returning to school, Jasmine is expelled but gets a place at the local college so she can take her A Levels.
Debbie kisses Jasmine to get a reaction from her father, Cain (Jeff Hordley), but the girls realise their feelings for each other are stronger than friendship and start dating. Jasmine, however, is caught between Cain and Debbie as Cain seduces her. Jasmine is devastated to learn that Cain used her to get at Debbie but they soon reconcile when Jasmine realises that she is pregnant. Debbie tells Cain and also that Jasmine plans to have an abortion, which she does, paid for Sadie King (Patsy Kensit). Cain is devastated as he wanted her to have the baby and Debbie gleefully tells him that Sadie was involved too.
