EastEnders: Lauren Shocked As Oscar Returns
Lauren never expected to see her little brother again. One phone call changes everything. She finds Oscar after years apart, but he is cagey. He would not explain much. Just says he cannot go back home. The real reason? Still a mystery. While she is still figuring it out, Jack comes back from visiting Suzy. He is floored when he spots Oscar in the Square. No one saw it coming.
Oscar says he wants to stay. At first, Lauren’s unsure. She does not quite buy his story, and neither do Ian or Peter. They notice how quickly he is trying to settle in. He pulls at Lauren’s heartstrings, though. She eventually agrees to let him stay, but only for now. But before long, he gets a text.
Oscar Tries To Scam But Gets A Wake-Up Call
Oscar’s barely unpacked before the drama starts. He chats to Jack about Max and Tanya. Says things were never right at home. But then he pulls a stunt, pretends to slip inside the chip shop, and demands money from Ian. Stacey sees it all and laughs. Others? Not so much.
His social worker finds out. That changes things. Jack steps in with advice, and Lauren decides to give him one last shot. She offers him a shift on the market stall. Oscar is not keen, but Penny steps up and talks him into it.
That first day is anything but smooth. People bet he would not even finish it. Then comes a moment that stops him cold. He hears that baby Jimmy is blind. That news rattles him. He says he is done messing about and wants to change. But can he? For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
