The quiet moments in Walford never last long, and Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) is about to learn that the hard way. After a rollercoaster journey of bad decisions, family interventions, and a bit of redemption, Oscar’s past is coming back to haunt him — and this time, it’s more dangerous than ever.
😱 Oscar’s Dangerous Past Comes Calling
Oscar Branning’s history has never been squeaky clean, but his recent return to Walford had everyone hoping he might turn a corner. Sadly, that’s not the case. After getting caught up in a joyride with a bad influence named Fat Mike (Tai Hilferink), Oscar betrayed his mate by informing the authorities — a decision that set off a chain reaction. In retaliation, Mike launched a petrol bomb at what he thought was Tanya’s house, inadvertently targeting a neighbor. The result? Oscar’s mother, Tanya (Jo Joyner), was furious and kicked him out, resulting in a stint in a youth detention center. His troubled past has now left him tangled in a dangerous web, and the stakes are higher than ever.
😬 A Threat That Leaves Oscar Shaking
Oscar’s life took a turn when he returned home to Walford, and his attempts to start fresh have been anything but smooth. Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) tried to give him a second chance, offering him a place to stay on the condition that he didn’t cause any more trouble. But when his past caught up with him again — in the form of a menacing text from Fat Mike declaring him ‘dead’ — things went south fast. As Oscar tried to get back on track, even taking a job at the market stall to prove himself, he was always one bad choice away from spiraling back into danger.
🧐 Oscar Faces More Than He Bargained For
Next week, things take a dramatic turn as Oscar wakes up and says his goodbyes to one-night stand Isaac (Zak Devlin), but before he can truly start fresh, he’s hit with more bad news. His uncle Jack (Scott Maslen) gives him another heart-to-heart, advising him not to add any more stress to Lauren and Peter Beale’s (Thomas Law) already chaotic lives. But will Oscar listen? That remains to be seen. Feeling the weight of his actions, Oscar offers to babysit Louie (Jake McNally) and baby Jimmy, hoping to prove he’s maturing. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned.
⚠️ Mike’s Menacing Arrival — A Stark Reminder
Just when Oscar thought he was stepping up, things take a dark twist. Mike reappears, bringing with him a menacing threat that sends Oscar into a panic. As he attempts to escape, Mike leaves behind a chilling reminder of the danger Oscar is still tangled in. The thug vanishes before Lauren and Peter return home, but the message is clear: Mike is not done with Oscar yet. The stakes have been raised, and Oscar is once again at the mercy of the very past he’s tried to escape.
💔 What’s Next for Oscar?
As Oscar faces the consequences of his past, the tension in Walford rises. Will he be able to finally leave the darkness behind, or will Mike’s threats drag him back into a life of danger? With family and friendships on the line, Oscar’s fate is uncertain, and it’s clear that the path ahead is going to be anything but smooth.
