Hold onto your seats, EastEnders fans—because a Branning is back in Walford, and he’s already making a chaotic impression. Yes, you heard that right! Oscar Branning, son of Peter Beale and grandson of Ian Beale, has officially returned to the Square—and he’s not wasting any time stirring up trouble. Played by newcomer Pierre Mulier, Oscar’s comeback brings a wave of energy, mischief, and a whole lot of street-savvy cheek.

A Wild Reintroduction

Oscar’s return isn’t your standard family reunion. Instead, his first scenes are already brimming with mischief and drama. Fans watching closely will see that Oscar doesn’t just blend into the Square quietly—he crashes in with a fake injury scam. That’s right: he tricks someone with a bogus broken arm, managing to swindle a decent bit of cash. But the scam doesn’t go as smoothly as planned.

As soon as the ruse is revealed—when his “injured” arm magically heals—things turn physical. The guy he conned lunges for the money, and in a sudden twist, Oscar holds his own and floors the man! It’s a bold introduction, and a sign of what’s to come: Oscar is sharp, streetwise, and not afraid to bend the rules.

Behind the Scenes with Pierre Mulier

In a behind-the-scenes interview, actor Pierre Mulier revealed his excitement at joining the EastEnders cast. “It’s been pretty wild,” he admits, fresh off filming his opening scenes. “I’ve just come from shooting, so I’m still a bit all over the place, but it’s been so much fun. Everyone’s been really welcoming.”

He jokes that his dream moment would be sharing a scene with Phil Mitchell. “If I had a scene with Phil, I could just retire,” he laughs. “That would be it.” But until then, Mulier is happy to settle into his role with a flurry of wild scenes and surprising character moments.

Oscar vs. Ian Beale: Father-Son Fireworks

Oscar’s arrival also means an inevitable confrontation with his father, Peter Beale, and grandfather Ian Beale. In a particularly tense scene, Oscar demands money—only for things to spiral into chaos. He accuses someone of being a “pedo” (though it’s not clear whether he’s serious or just trying to cause drama), and Ian, caught off guard and under pressure, desperately tries to mediate the situation.

But Oscar isn’t here to play nice. He’s sarcastic, irreverent, and always pushing people’s buttons. When Ian tries to calm him down, Oscar throws his words back in his face, taunting and provoking with ease. Clearly, he’s inherited some of the classic Branning fire, and he’s not afraid to burn bridges if it gets him what he wants.

The Market Mayhem

In another hilarious but insightful scene, Oscar joins Peter at the local market stall—one that had been kindly donated to Peter by local families. To Peter, it’s a sign of respect and connection to the community. To Oscar? Just another joke. He makes it obvious that he doesn’t take the job seriously, thinking he’s far too talented for something as “boring” as selling fruit and veg.

But in a surprise twist, Oscar proves to be surprisingly good at the job. In fact, he’s selling so many tomatoes and bananas that even Peter is forced to admit his usefulness—reluctantly, of course. “I don’t really want him here,” Peter mutters, “but he’s actually selling me a lot.” So, for now, Oscar stays.

Still, he uses his charm and wit more to flirt with people and entertain himself than to be a dedicated stallholder. But maybe, just maybe, the Square will start to grow on him.

Chaos on Set and in the Square

Pierre Mulier’s first week on EastEnders has been, in his own words, a whirlwind. Between running dramatic scenes, fast-paced confrontations, and moments of comedy, it’s been intense. “It’s been so much fun,” he says. “Everyone’s taken care of me so well, and I’ve been sleeping great.”

That said, Oscar’s presence in the Square is anything but relaxing for the residents. His unpredictable energy, fast-talking nature, and ability to manipulate situations quickly make him both a danger and a delight. He has a sharp tongue, a wicked sense of humor, and a tendency to challenge authority wherever he finds it.

And viewers can expect more than just con games and market shenanigans—Oscar’s presence is sure to shake up old relationships, spark new feuds, and possibly lead to a few unexpected alliances. Will he follow the Branning path of heartbreak and betrayal? Or is there a chance for redemption and growth?

More Than Just a Trouble-Maker?

While Oscar clearly thrives on chaos, early hints suggest that there may be more to his character than meets the eye. Beneath the rebellious exterior, he’s clever, observant, and clearly dealing with unresolved issues—especially with his family.

His snide remarks and troublemaking could be a cover for deeper wounds. With Peter struggling to reconnect and Ian unsure how to handle his grandson’s wild streak, there’s bound to be some emotional clashes ahead. Whether Oscar will be willing to let down his guard remains to be seen.

What’s Next for Oscar Branning?

So what’s in store for Oscar in the coming weeks? According to Pierre, viewers should “follow him around to see what my character gets up to.” And if the first few days are anything to go by, we’re in for a wild ride.

Expect heated arguments, unlikely partnerships, and plenty of comic moments as Oscar continues to make his mark on Walford. His arrival is more than just a family reunion—it’s a collision of past and present, old-school Beale values versus a new generation of chaotic energy.

Oscar Branning is here, and he’s not leaving quietly.

Whether he’s faking injuries, scamming locals, or selling out the market faster than anyone expected, Oscar’s presence is electric. Pierre Mulier brings a fresh, unpredictable energy to the role that promises to light up EastEnders in ways fans won’t see coming. Love him or hate him, Oscar is a name that will soon be on everyone’s lips in Walford.

Stay tuned, because Oscar Branning’s story is just beginning—and if the first scenes are anything to go by, it’s going to be unforgettable.
