\n\t\tA recipe for disaster (Picture: BBC)<\/p>\n
EastEnders<\/a>\u2019 Oscar Branning<\/a> (Pierre Counihan-Moullier<\/a>) has been trying (and failing) to fight his burning attraction<\/a> to Josh Goodwin<\/a> (Joshua Vaughan<\/a>) for ages now \u2013 but the pair are finally caught out next week, spelling trouble for Oscar\u2019s romance with Josh\u2019s sister Jasmine Fisher<\/a> (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n Oscar and Josh first hooked up earlier this year<\/a> when Jasmine was banged up for bumping off her birth father Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey)<\/a>, with the boys having no idea of how they were connected.\u00a0<\/p>\n When the penny eventually dropped<\/a> about Jasmine, they vowed to put their night of passion behind them.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, the lads have found that increasingly impossible in recent weeks, succumbing to their lust following a night out at The Albert<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since then, Oscar has been seeing both of the twins, with Jasmine completely in the dark about her boyfriend\u2019s betrayal with her sibling.\u00a0<\/p>\n But as Jasmine\u2019s birthday rolls around next week, there\u2019s tension between her and Oscar when he learns from Josh about the circumstances around the death of their foster dad<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t When Oscar questions his girlfriend about the accident, which happened when she was still a child, she slaps him.<\/p>\n This only serves to push Oscar into Josh\u2019s arms, and the pair share a passionate kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n But in a case of incredibly poor timing, Kat Moon<\/a> (Jessie Wallace<\/a>) arrives to invite Josh to a birthday dinner she is planning for Jasmine and catches sight of their embrace through a window.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Queen Vic landlady then confronts the lads and warns Oscar to stay away from the whole family.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t Kat later shares the news with her husband Alfie Moon<\/a> (Shane Richie<\/a>), and the pair agree not to tell Jasmine\u2019s mum Zoe Slater<\/a> (Michelle Ryan<\/a>), so they can enjoy their first birthday celebration together.\u00a0<\/p>\n But there is trouble brewing when an oblivious Zoe insists that both Josh and Oscar attend the meal.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tDon’t miss a Soaps scoop!
