EastEnders newcomer Josh Goodwin gets to know the Walford locals next week – and considers reuniting with his twin Jasmine Fisher after years spent apart! This week, Zoe Slater finally met her missing son, as Josh was introduced to both sides of his biological family.
Josh was keen to find out the truth about his estranged sister Jasmine and why she caused their dad Anthony’s death on Christmas Day.

But this week, Josh also formed a connection with Oscar, and the pair spent the night together – with each of them unaware of the other’s close connection to Jasmine. Once the truth was revealed to them, everything changed and Oscar and Josh were stunned!

Meanwhile, Zoe has been desperate to finally get to know her long-lost son after meeting him for the first time, but Josh feels overwhelmed by his mum – so next week he makes the choice to distance himself and spend time with his grandad Patrick instead. However, Patrick soon faces a decision of his own…
