EastEnders\u2019 Oscar Branning struggles not to give in to temptation with Josh Goodwin next week \u2013 but can he keep his hands off his girlfriend Jasmine Fisher\u2019s twin brother?<\/p>\n

The trio start the week<\/a> by relaxing on the grass and playing one of Jasmine and Josh\u2019s favourite childhood games. However, while the twins feel happy about their growing bond, Oscar is secretly unsettled over his attraction to both of them\u2026<\/p>\n

“Although it seems like a merry scene in the park from an outside perspective, Oscar is facing inner turmoil,” says our Walford source. “He\u2019s torn between his girlfriend and her brother, and no matter how hard he tries to fight his feelings, he can\u2019t get rid of his attraction to Josh<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

During the game, Jasmine discovers that Josh continued to play it with his adoptive mother Sandra after Jasmine was kicked out of the house and taken in by another family, leaving her feeling betrayed by her brother.<\/p>\n

As Jasmine storms off in a huff<\/a>, Josh is racked with guilt over his past actions, so Oscar attempts to comfort him. Getting closer, the two boys share a charged moment\u2026<\/p>\n

“Alone without Jasmine, sparks fly between Josh and Oscar,” teases our insider. “Oscar\u2019s conscience gets the better of him though, and he pulls away from Josh before any damage is done. For the first time, Oscar realises that he can\u2019t be friends with Josh<\/a> if he wants to stay with Jas \u2013 the chemistry is too strong!”<\/p>\n

Later, sheepish Oscar and Josh decide to put some distance between them to make sure no one gets hurt. Oscar\u2019s cousin Penny witnesses the suspicious exchange though and demands to know what\u2019s going on between them. <\/p>\n

While Oscar tells Penny the entire sorry tale, Josh flirts with another man at The Albert \u2013 making Oscar positively green-eyed with jealousy!<\/p>\n

“Oscar knows that he shouldn\u2019t be jealous of Josh\u2019s love life, but he can\u2019t help himself!” says our source. “Josh is a young single lad and should be able to get it on with whoever he wants without Oscar\u2019s input \u2013 if Oscar wants a say in that, he needs to tell Josh exactly how he feels\u2026”<\/p>\n

Despite their best attempts to get over their fling, can Oscar and Josh really stay away from each other? And what will happen if feisty Jasmine finds out about their past passion?<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
