EastEnders' Oscar and Josh to grow closer as love triangle drama heats up

 Can they stay away from each other?

EastEnders’ Josh Goodwin and Oscar Branning are forced to fight their sizzling chemistry next week, when the former lovers are pulled towards each other again! Following the dramatic events of Jasmine’s trial, Oscar is keen to stay out of Josh’s way.

But when they find themselves alone together, sparks soon begin to fly once more. Can they ignore their obvious attraction?

Oscar and Josh were once totally smitten!" says our Walford insider. "Since he reunited with Jasmine, Oscar has had to forget his fling with his girlfriend’s twin brother. However, it seems that his feelings for Josh have far from disappeared…"

Josh is currently completing a hair and beauty course at college, so was thrilled when Kim and Denise offered him a job at the salon. But to his disappointment, he hasn’t yet been able to cut any hair – as he’s been tasked with sweeping it up instead!

The newbie has proved popular with customers, so this week he is allowed to get more involved. Kim has a brainwave so accosts Oscar, demanding that he acts as Josh’s guinea pig before he is let loose on paying customers.

Oscar is determined not to be drawn in by Josh’s charms once again, but as his hair is styled the pair can’t help but get close and personal…

"There is some serious tension between these boys," reveals our source. "It all gets too much for Oscar, and he rushes out of the salon flustered, leaving Josh very confused about where he stands."

How much longer will Josh and Oscar be able to resist temptation?

The already sticky situation involving these star-crossed lovers is about to get a whole lot more complicated, after Jasmine was found not guilty of killing her dad Anthony and was released from prison as a result.

Josh recently suggested to Oscar that the three of them go on a night out together to get to know each other properly. But this could spell big trouble, as Jasmine is currently completely oblivious about her brother’s brief passion with her boyfriend.

As Jasmine settles back into life in Walford after a stretch behind bars, is she about to get a big shock?
