What’s worse than cheating on your girlfriend with her twin brother? How about giving them both a sexually transmitted infection? Oh, and the girlfriend is a murderer. For Oscar Branning (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) in EastEnders, sex has never been this unsafe…

It’s a fine mess Oscar’s got himself into. And it’s about to get a lot worse.

For starters, he’s fallen for a lady that you definitely don’t want to cross., Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) Revenge is her whole vibe. Literally. The only reason she came to Walford in the first place was to make her birth-mum Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), pay for abandoning her at birth, by stalking the woman to the brink of madness with the help of Queen Bitch of the Square herself Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman).

When Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) got in the way of their plan, Jasmine shoved her down the steps of the Albert. Not only that, but she bumped off her own biological father, Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey) to protect Zoe from harm.

Throughout everything, Oscar followed Jasmine by a lovesick puppy and turned his back on being a player for her.This was of course, until Jasmine’s manslaughter became the talk of the Square. Distraught to think the love of his life was going to prison, Oscar reverted to type and tried to fix with broken heart with a string of one night stands.

Then along came Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughan),Jasmine’s twin brother.

He came to Walford with his detective hat on to find out the truth behind the death of his foster dad, Keith Goodwin. Turns out, Jasmine might have a thing for killing fathers, and may have had a hand in his death too. But Oscar soon became a welcome distraction. The passion between the pair. After a night together, Oscar discovered Josh’s familial connection to his beloved, and when Jasmine emerged from the court innocent of all charges, the two secret lovers decided to keep their little indiscretion forever buried so as not to hurt anyone.

Because that always goes well in Soapland.

The lads in the love triangle have since given in to their chemistry, despite their best efforts to resist temptation – which is an opportunity for Josh to feed Oscar more information regarding Jasmine’s role in their foster dad’s death.

But when Oscars approached Jasmine and started fishing for answers about what really happened that day, it didn’t exactly go well. Jasmine answered Josh’s questions with a good old soap slap to the face. Ouch.

In spite of the bubbling tension, Jasmine buried her feelings in classic Jasmine style this week. It was her birthday after all, and she reluctantly agreed to attend a celebratory dinner thrown by  Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace). Of course, Kat insisted Josh was invited. In spite of everything, Jas wants the whole clan together.

Most Awkward. Birthday. Ever. (Picture: BBC)

One thing led to another, and soon Oscar and Josh were locking lips… completely unaware that they’d been spotted by Kat.

Horrified, Kat, soon confronted the pair, warning Oscar to stay away from her family entirely.

Believe it or not, that might be the least of Oscar’s concerns. Jasmine may be in the dark about his passionate affair with her twin, but that could be all set to change in upcoming episodes of EastEnders, where the randy Branning might fears he caught an STI.

Learning he may have caught a sexually transmitted disease from a previous fling, Oscar is sent spiralling into a panic. He knows that he’s risking transmission to Jasmine and Josh, and has no choice but to do the honourable thing and tell them.

The news goes down about as well as you’d expect. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife as all three go for tests, with Jasmine ignoring Josh.

What will the tests say? Will the results land the trio in trouble?
