🔥 EastEnders’ Oscar Receives a Blast from the Past as Things Take a Shocking Turn! 🔥

Drama is about to explode in Albert Square as young Oscar Branning — now a teenager — finds his world turned upside down by the sudden arrival of a mysterious figure from his past.

Fans last saw Oscar as the quiet son of Tanya and Max Branning, but 2025 brings a more rebellious, emotionally conflicted version of the character back into the spotlight. Recently returned to Walford to live with his half-sister Abi, Oscar has been struggling to adjust to life in the Square… until a familiar face shows up unannounced.

👀 Who is it?

The mystery figure? Greg Jessop — Tanya’s ex-fiancé — who once came close to becoming Oscar’s stepfather. Greg’s reappearance stirs painful memories for Oscar and forces him to confront long-buried feelings about his fractured family. But Greg isn’t just in town for a visit — he brings shocking news about Tanya that could change everything.

💣 What’s the twist?

Greg reveals that Tanya has been battling a serious illness and has made a decision that leaves Oscar reeling. As tensions mount, Oscar lashes out at those around him — especially Max, whose return to the Square couldn’t come at a worse time. A heated confrontation between father and son ends in heartbreak… and possibly violence.

Meanwhile, Oscar finds unexpected comfort in Lily Slater, who becomes a key figure in helping him cope. But their growing friendship is about to be tested when another Branning secret is exposed — one that could destroy the fragile progress Oscar has made.

🔮 What’s next?

Expect a multi-episode arc exploring Oscar’s emotional journey, his battle with identity and abandonment, and a major decision that could lead to him leaving the Square… or staying for good. The storyline promises gritty realism, family conflict, and a shocking cliffhanger heading into autumn 2025.

“Oscar’s about to become one of the most compelling young characters on the show. His story is raw, emotional, and full of surprises — and viewers will be glued to the screen.”
