EastEnders Star Teases Oscar’s Downward Spiral
Oscar Branning’s world is crashing down fast. But he doesn’t ask for help. He thinks he can sort it out alone. Mike demands five thousand pounds for the Brannings’ protection, and Oscar panics. Actor Pierre Moullier says his character chooses the worst way forward.

Everyone knows Jack could help, but Oscar ignores the smart move. He’s scared, but he keeps quiet. And he’s slipping fast. Then he hears about Patrick’s lucky win. Six thousand pounds at the bookies, just enough to pay off Mike. And in Oscar’s desperate mind, it feels like a sign. He convinces himself that Patrick will not miss the money. He believes he can grab it, leave quietly, and fix everything. But Walford doesn’t work like that.
Oscar Lashes Out
Oscar sneaks in, thinking this will be quick. But Patrick catches him in the act. In pure panic, Oscar lashes out and pushes him. Patrick falls to the ground, hits hard, and goes completely still. Just like that, a robbery turns into something far worse.

This wasn’t part of the plan. And Oscar knows it. He stands there frozen, realising what he’s done. Moullier says Oscar still has a conscience. He’s messed up more than once, but the actor still sees him as someone with a good heart. That’s what the actor believes. Still, this moment might cost him everything.
He didn’t mean to hurt Patrick. But now Patrick is on the floor, and Oscar cannot undo it. This was not a stranger. It was someone he’s known his whole life. He stands there, stuck. In his gut, he knows he should have walked away, but it’s too late now. His family cannot shield him from this. Jack will find out, and when he does, everything around Oscar might fall apart.
