EastEnders airs game-changing Oscar Branning twist in BBC iPlayer release

Stricken with guilt for causing harm to Patrick during a frantic theft aimed at appeasing menacing gangsters, Oscar developed a friendship with the vulnerable individual through their shared interest in dominos. Subsequently, Patrick extended an invitation to Oscar to participate in his bachelor party.

It’s known that Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson) has knowledge about Oscar’s misdeed. Previously, he had extorted both Oscar and his older sister Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) using the money they had stolen as leverage!

But Howie was fuming that Oscar was getting close to Patrick, and he warned him off.

Uncle Jack (Scott Maslen) caught sight of the situation, and he inquired from Oscar about the circumstances surrounding Howie.

Following Oscar brushing off Jack’s questions, the teenager eventually showed up at the bachelor party. There, he initiated a round of cards involving Patrick, Jack, and their friends which included himself.

Or:

After Oscar ignored Jack’s persistent inquiries, the youngster ultimately joined the stag party where he started a card game with Patrick, Jack, and his buddies, including himself.

But when Howie started a row with Oscar, it triggered a panic attack for poor Patrick.

Jack’s keen detective senses prompted him to collaborate with Lauren on some investigative work. Despite not disclosing the whole truth, Lauren informed Jack about Oscar having a knife in his room and nearly attacking Peter Beale (Thomas Law), due to fear.

When Jack confronted Oscar, it seemed as if he was implying that he was aware of the actions Oscar had taken against Patrick, based on what Lauren had shared with him.

However, when Oscar asserted he wasn’t aware Patrick was at home that evening, it struck Jack like a bolt that Oscar must have inflicted Patrick’s wounds and the ensuing emotional harm!

In the coming week, it’s revealed by Oscar directly to Patrick. We wonder how Jack might respond, and whether there could be consequences for Oscar.
