WARNING: This article is full of spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is streaming on BBC iPlayer now, but has not yet aired on BBC One, and sees Oscar and Josh kiss.

Today’s EastEnders sees Oscar and Josh come face to face again following their banana milkshake incident last week. However, as passion sparked between the pair, fans have noticed a problem with their budding romance.

Josh returns to Walford today, ready to meet Patrick for the first time. But while he fusses over his outfit and struggles to hide his nerves, he is happy to bump into Oscar in the market.

Lauren notices a spark between the two of them and encourages her brother to get back onto the dating scene.

Josh and Patrick meet

As Josh arrives to meet the Truemans, everyone is nervous. Kim and Denise make small talk, but it is clear it’s too much for Patrick, and he retreats to the kitchen to get some headspace.

Josh goes to find him, and the pair have a good heart-to-heart. Patrick tells Josh he looks like Anthony, while Josh asks about his father’s past.

However, the moment is shattered when Zoe gets wind of the fact that Josh is in the Square, and she heads to Denise and Jack’s, demanding answers.

Kim and Denise try to defuse the situation, telling Zoe that Josh just needs time. However, it is only when Sandra steps in and demands that Zoe leave that she finally retreats.

Overwhelmed by all the family drama, Josh admits he needs a drink. Sandra suggests that they head home, but Josh wants space to think and goes out alone.

EastEnders: Oscar and Josh kiss

Although Oscar isn’t sure he is ready to move on after Jasmine, he is later thrilled when he heads to The Albert and finds Josh in there drinking alone.

Oscar hits on Josh, but then remembers that Lauren said he should be looking for a relationship, not a one-night stand. Changing his tactics, Oscar chats with Josh, and the pair get to know one another.

As Josh chats about his sister, and Oscar reveals his ex left him broken-hearted, the pair have no idea they’re both talking about Jasmine.

The pair hit it off and end up sharing a passionate kiss on the dancefloor. But while fans are thrilled that ‘Joscar’ is finally happening, they are all worried about the same problem, which could spell disaster for the couple…

EastEnders fans are all saying the same thing about Oscar and Josh

Taking to social media, fans have pointed out that while things are hotting up for ‘Joscar’ – it will all come tumbling down when they realise they have Jasmine in common…

“Josh and Oscar would be so good if it wasn’t in the middle of a goddamn love triangle and the other person was Jasmine,” fumed one fan on X. 

Someone else agreed that Jasmine isn’t going to be happy. “I’m curious to see how Jasmine might react when she discovers that Oscar is getting close to her twin brother!”

Over on Reddit, fans were saying the same thing. “Enjoy Oscar and Josh while you can, because this certainly won’t last. Dating your ex’s brother and Oscar still doesn’t know yet that Jasmine killed Anthony in self-defence. I can’t wait for this to come out already!”

“Intrigued to see where they go with the Josh/Oscar/Jasmine dynamic. Although I can’t help but think Oscar already has far more chemistry with Josh,” agreed another fan.
