EastEnders teen returns, and trouble follows.
Oscar Branning was once just Max and Tanya’s quiet youngest child. But everything about him has changed. Oscar has grown into a fiery teen who walks in with trouble not far behind. He shows up in Walford on July 14, and Lauren does not know what to think. What follows is anything but calm.
Oscar wastes no time clashing with Jack Branning and Denise Fox. He even tries to scam Adam Beale. But behind all the chaos, he is still a boy hurting from what he lost. Oscar tells Jack how things broke down with Max and Tanya. He begs Lauren to let him stay. She agrees, telling him not to cause any more trouble.
Fans praise the casting as Oscar steps into a new chapter.
Just when it seems like Oscar’s spiralling, he gets a lifeline. He lands a job on the fruit and veg stall and claims it is his shot at turning things around. But it is what happens on his first day that shakes him. After learning his nephew Jimmy is blind, Oscar starts to see life from a new angle.
The character has not shown up since 2017. Now played by Pierre Moullier, Oscar’s comeback has fans buzzing online not just for the drama but for how much he resembles his on-screen dad. One viewer said, “I would believe he is the son of Jake Wood and Jo Joyner.” Another added, “That’s just Jake Wood with hair!” Fans cannot stop talking about the casting and the drama Oscar is about to unleash.
