EastEnders fans divided over controversial sibling love triangle

A new love triangle storyline has started airing in EastEnders, and it’s got quite a lot of fans talking.

It involves Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) and two newcomers to Walford – who also happen to be siblings.

Oscar’s romance with Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) came to an end as a result of her meddling. While she was in prison for Anthony Josh Goodwin, Jasmine Fisher and Oscar Branning sat on the grass in EastEndersTrueman’s (Nicholas Bailey) murder, Oscar turned his attention to a young man called Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughan).

They had great chemistry, but Oscar had no idea that Josh is actually Jasmine’s brother. When he found out, he told Josh that things between them couldn’t continue, and then proceeded to try and reconnect with Jasmine.

Jasmine is now out of prison and living in Albert Square with Oscar and Josh. This week, they hung out at the park, and Oscar grew unsettled as he realised he was attracted to both siblings.

These scenes have sparked quite a big reaction on social media, as audience members of the BBC One soap appear to be quite torn over this new love triangle storyline.

Over on X, a number of fans believe things would’ve been better if EastEnders explored the dynamic between Josh and Jasmine, rather than focus on how Oscar feels about them both.

Are you here for this storyline?

  • No, it’s so cringe

  • Yes, it’s fun!

‘The love triangle thing really is destroying Oscar, Jasmine and Josh. It would be nice to see the twins dynamic without Oscar and it’s making Oscar boring’, Debbie said.
