Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) has discussed his estrangement from dad Max (Jake Wood) in EastEnders.
The newcomer burst onto our screens earlier this week, fresh out of a youth detention centre after being found guilty of joyriding, and revealing to sister Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) that he had made a number of enemies.
One of the lads, Mike (Tai Hilferink), had petrol bombed his neighbour’s house and was now seeking further revenge.
Now living with Lauren and Peter Beale (Thomas Law), Oscar has proven himself to be quite the windup merchant.
In tonight’s episodes, he was sprawled naked across the sofa when his new guardians strolled in. They were mortified, and demanded he got his act together if he intended to stay.
After sponging a tenner off Peter, he went out to buy cigarettes and grab a free brekkie from the caff.
Crossing Ian Beale’s (Adam Woodyatt) path and causing a little more chaos, he then dished out some flirtatious comments to Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James).
His uncle Jack (Scott Maslen) clocked the interaction – and how uneasy it made her dad Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara). He’s not a man to be messed with!

Deciding that the time had come to get to the root cause of his problems, Jack caught up with Oscar in McKlunkys and firstly started by addressing his sexuality.
Oscar opened up, revealing that he ‘swings both ways’, and that he had a girlfriend prior to his stint in the detention centre. The issue was that he became more attracted to the girl’s father!
Jack then asked when he last saw Max, to which Oscar said it was Christmas… 2022.
As viewers of the soap know, Max has been living in Croatia for a number of years with his granddaughter Abi Jr. Lauren has attempted to reach out and ask for support in looking after Oscar, to no avail.

His chat with Jack seemed to be just the ticket for improving his behaviour and attitude, and he went to apologise to Ian for his earlier behaviour. However, stubborn as a mule, Ian declined his words and Oscar decided to take further action.
Dropping a piece of lemon on the floor, he pretended to slip on the fruit and injure his arm.
