EastEnders' Oscar Branning Torn Between Josh And Jasmine As Secret Kiss Changes Everything
@bbc

Oscar Branning's love life takes a dramatic turn this week as his growing feelings for Josh threaten to destroy his relationship with Jasmine.

The young Walford resident finds himself caught in an increasingly complicated situation after sharing a kiss with Josh, unaware that Kat Slater has witnessed the whole thing.

The secret moment immediately places Oscar at the centre of a potential family storm.

However, this is not a traditional coming out storyline.

Long term EastEnders viewers will know that Oscar has previously come out as bisexual, meaning his attraction to Josh is not the issue. Instead, the real conflict comes from the fact that Oscar genuinely cares about both Josh and Jasmine.

That leaves him facing an impossible choice.

As Jasmine and Josh celebrate their birthdays, tensions continue building behind the scenes. Oscar desperately wants to avoid hurting anyone, but the more he tries to keep everybody happy, the worse the situation becomes.

Things become even more complicated when Jasmine learns the truth about why Oscar and Josh originally became close.

The revelation leaves her shocked and threatens to expose secrets that Oscar would rather keep hidden.

According to actor Pierre Moullier, Oscar is struggling with feelings he cannot easily explain.

While he has always known he is attracted to both men and women, he has never found himself emotionally torn between two siblings before. The result is confusion, guilt and a growing fear that somebody is going to get hurt.

Josh offers comfort and understanding.

Jasmine offers familiarity and stability.

Oscar wants both of them in his life, but he is rapidly discovering that may not be possible.

Meanwhile, Kat faces a dilemma of her own.

Will she reveal what she saw? Or will she keep quiet and allow Oscar to tell the truth himself?

As the pressure mounts, one thing becomes increasingly clear.

Oscar can no longer avoid making a decision.

Can he be honest with Jasmine before somebody else tells her? Will Josh admit how he really feels? And when the dust settles, who will Oscar choose?

With emotions running high and secrets threatening to explode, Walford is bracing for a dramatic week ahead.
