EastEnders is bringing Oscar Branning's love triangle with Jasmine and Josh to a dramatic climax, as his affair with his girlfriend's twin brother is exposed in a violent confrontation.
Secret Romance Revealed
Since Josh Goodwin arrived on the square earlier this year, he and Oscar have been drawn to each other. Initially unaware that Oscar's ex-girlfriend was Josh's long-lost twin, the pair began a flirtation that developed into a full-blown affair. Despite Oscar reuniting with Jasmine, the connection with Josh persisted, leading to a secret relationship behind Jasmine's back.
Caught in the Act
In Tuesday's episode, the affair is exposed when Oscar goes to meet Josh again. The twins' grandmother, Kat Slater, catches them kissing through a window, exclaiming, "Oh my God!" in shock.
Earlier, Jasmine is left in tears after Oscar learns about her traumatic past. Josh had revealed to Oscar that the twins were separated on their birthday after a car crash that killed their foster father, which Jasmine witnessed. When Oscar confronts Jasmine about this, she becomes agitated and slaps him, leaving a visible bruise.
Fan Reactions
Fans have been divided over which twin Oscar should choose. However, after Josh pursued Oscar despite knowing he was in a relationship with his sister, many have sided with Jasmine.
One viewer commented: "I'm not saying Jasmine is an angel, but she's clearly a broken girl who never had the same support as Josh. Josh is actively ruining the one support she has."
Another added: "I hope Kat tells Jasmine, and Jasmine gets rid of both Oscar and Josh. Josh, her own brother, doesn't care about what he's doing."
A third noted: "Oscar showed some regret, but Josh is actively seeking him out, telling him Jasmine's trauma without permission. He didn't even check on her after Oscar said she was upset."
Family Dynamics
In the episode, Zoe Slater, the twins' birth mother, organizes a birthday party for Jasmine. Kat emphasizes that Jasmine is their priority, as she hasn't had the same easy upbringing as Josh and is struggling with acceptance from the Trueman family due to her involvement in Anthony's death.
