EastEnders fans have spent the last three months trying to piece together clues that could explain the mystery goings on in the New Year flashforward that aired back in January – and now some eagle-eyed fans have predicted Oscar is set to get married after noticing a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it comment.

Flashforward theories

Viewers have been busy trying to work out who the mystery gunman is who takes Oscar and Lauren hostage. Also, what happens to Penny and whether she is the mother of baby Ethan. Others want to know who Max is marrying. 

However, some fans think there could be another wedding on the cards after spotting a single line of dialogue from Patrick Trueman in the flashforward.

The moment comes halfway through the New Year episode, as Oscar asks Patrick to help with his tie.

Patrick comments, ‘You’re with a Trueman now. You need to look the part, you know! This has made fans think Oscar is in a long-term romance, or could even be engaged or married.

Which Trueman Oscar is with remains to be seen – it could either be Jasmine or Josh. However, fans are leaning towards a long-term romance with Josh, considering they believe the pair have better chemistry than Oscar and Jasmine.

Fans have taken to social media to share their theories…

“Patrick literally addresses Oscar as ‘A Trueman now’ in the flashforward. It’s giving engagement vibes. Or they’re married before NYD 2027 perhaps a Christmas wedding 2026 where the drama goes down at The Vic?” speculated one fan on Reddit. 

Another viewer agreed. “Oscar and Josh are set to get married by the end of the year if the flashforward is anything to go by!”

“Oscar will be engaged to Josh by the end of the year after what Patrick said in the flashforward,” echoed a third fan. But could they be right?!
