What next for her, Oscar and Josh?
Recriminations will fly in Thursday's (11 June) EastEnders after Jasmine Fisher finally discovered a major secret. Tonight's scenes saw her twin brother Josh Goodwin interrupting a chorus of 'Happy Birthday' to reveal that her boyfriend Oscar Branning has been cheating on her — with him.
The pair had been seen growing closer in recent months, despite Oscar's relationship with Jasmine. Earlier this week, the boys kissed again.
Now, first-look images of tomorrow's visit to Albert Square see Jasmine furiously confronting a sheepish Oscar, with her mum Zoe Slater trying to comfort her.
The family is also seen looking in shock and anger at Josh as he elaborates on his massive bombshell.
With tensions set to explode, will this be the end of the road for Jasmine and Oscar? What does this mean for Jasmine's relationship with Josh? And will Josh and Oscar be able to stay apart?
In other EastEnders news, star Heather Peace (who plays Eve) has confirmed that her character and Suki Panesar-Unwin will make further progress in their adoption story very soon.
"We’ve been filming a lot together over the past few months," she told Inside Soap. "This is such an important storyline to tell, because it shows what a tricky process it can be.
"Because Eve’s been to prison, I would just immediately think it’s off the table, and you’d never be able to adopt if you’ve been to prison. Hopefully this story educates people a little bit, and somebody might apply to adopt who wouldn’t have before," she added.
Back in mid-May, a promo airing on Channel 7 in Australia teased that a character would be shot in upcoming episodes.
Fans quickly began theorising which Home and Away character would be impacted, and the clues all seemed to point to Sergeant Langham (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor).
All three appeared emotional, and David was seen looking uncharacteristically unkempt and with facial hair, leading fans to speculate that he was recuperating at home after getting shot.
A crime wave has recently swept Summer Bay and the surrounding areas – the surf club garage was broke into, a number of power tools were stolen from tradies’ vans, and Justin’s (James Stewart) van was stolen.
“Richie has taken matters into his own hands, disregarding protocol, leaving his partner, chasing after a suspect and risking his own safety,” Jeremy Lindsay Taylor explained to TV Week.
With Richie back on the case, he and David headed off together to check out the scene. There, they found a tent set up, with Justin’s van parked up next to it.
The pair began questioning a woman inside the tent, with David asking her how she came into possession of the van.
However, in the confusion, Richie proceeded to pull the trigger, hitting David square in the abdomen.
But will he pull through?
Tomorrow’s episode sees the arrival of a new character, Dr Amelia Carlisle, played by Wentworth star Nicole da Silva. She’s covering for Levi (Tristan Gorey) while he’s on leave, and will treat David as he’s rushed to hospital.
With Amelia thrown in at the deep end as she treats the gunshot wound, will she be able to save the life of the Summer Bay resident?
Thankfully, we know that David survives the shooting, with the aforementioned promo showing him resting at home. However, what the incident means for Richie’s career as a cop remains to be seen.
“He has got a lot of ground to pave to try to prove to people that he is a good guy.”
Rocco Forrester-Sach is still filming and is believed to have joined the show’s full-time cast, but fans watching filming at Sydney’s Palm Beach have noted that it’s been a while since Rocco was spotted filming in his police uniform.
Instead, it appears Richie is set to become a lifeguard in the months ahead, as he’s been spotted alongside John Palmer (Shane Withington) in the iconic red uniform.
Will he simply be suspended pending an investigation, or will the shock shooting put a rapid end to Richie’s fledgling career as a cop?
As for David, he’s set for romance with the doctor who treats him.
Dr Amelia Carlisle arrives to the Bay at a difficult time.
Home and Away is set to introduce a new character played by Wentworth star Nicole da Silva, who revealed more about how her Dr Amelia Carlisle will fare in Summer Bay amid a shocking shooting.
The actor, known for the role of Franky Doyle on the Aussie prison drama, returns to the soap after first appearing in a small role in 2006.
"Amelia arrives in the midst of a medical emergency. A beloved local is caught up in a shooting and Amelia goes above and beyond to save the victim's life," the star said.
Her character will become involved in a rocky romance with Sergeant David Langham, played by Jeremy Lindsay, but da Silva warns fans that it'll be all but smooth sailing.
"It comes laden with challenges, so Amelia has to learn to assuage her impulse to quit and leave town," she said.
Reflecting on her first time on Home and Away, the actor said: "I remember it being a quick shoot, and a fun and easy learning opportunity when I was still pretty fresh out of drama school."
She added: "Filming is still incredibly fast on set, and while the workload is a little more demanding these days, there's still that fun energy."
"The timing was right for me to take on this role," she explained. "Living and working full-time in Sydney while my daughter is still at school is a privilege I couldn’t pass up.
"She comes from a challenging childhood and is used to moving around a lot, so when circumstances change and she decides to stay in the Bay, it poses a real challenge for her. I liked that, despite her past, she pursues her future wholeheartedly."
Home and Away star Lynne McGranger has shared her excitement at becoming a grandmother for the first time.
The veteran actress, 73, recently announced the exciting news on Channel Seven's The Morning Show, revealing her daughter Clancy, 34, had welcomed twins with her husband Luke Dickson.
'I became a Nanna last Friday. Our beautiful daughter Clancy and her husband Luke had Stevie Grace and Daisy Joy... twin girls!' Lynne excitedly told the hosts.
'There are no twins in our family! We are all over the moon, everyone who knows – we kept it off socials for so long!'
Co-hosts Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur were quick to congratulate the Gold Logie-winning actress, with both jumping out of their seats to hug her.
'We are so happy for you,' they both said.
Lynne has been waiting to become a grandmother for some time and in May 2024 expressed her excitement about the possibility of Clancy and Luke having children.
'Clancy and Luke have other fish to fry first, but I just want to be a grandparent before I lose my marbles!' Lynne told New Idea.
'I said to my daughter, "Come on, hurry up. We haven't got all day. What do you think honeymoons are for? They're not for fun and games – get on with it!"'
In August 2023, Clancy married her fiancé Luke Dickson.
Lynne shared the exciting news on Instagram by posting a precious photo of the pair together on her daughter's big day.
The Sydney native sported a focused expression as she looked over Clancy, who was wearing a stunning Diane Lewis Couture gown, ahead of walking down the aisle.
'Getting my baby girl ready for her big day. Gorgeous outfit and styling genius,' she wrote next to the photo.
Clancy is Lynne's only child, whom she shares with her husband, Paul McWaters.
Lynne made the announcement of Clancy's engagement to Luke on Instagram in October 2022.
'So happy for our beautiful daughter and her amazing fiancé on their engagement. We love you both so much,' Lynne captioned her post.
Lynne played Irene Roberts on Home and Away from 1993 - 2025, after taking over the role from actress Jacquy Phillips.
Irene Roberts was initially written as a recurring character but was promoted to the regular cast shortly after Lynne joined.
The veteran actress is one of the longest-serving stars on the Australian soap.
Her daughter Clancy looks set to follow in her mother's footsteps, as she has often appeared as an extra on Home and Away alongside Lynne.
The community discovers the news.
EastEnders’ Kim Fox and Howie Danes celebrate their engagement next week – but it’s Denise who’s in the spotlight when she emotionally reveals her cancer diagnosis to the assembled locals in The Vic.
"It’s while Kim’s making a speech that Denise becomes overwhelmed by everything that’s happening to her," reveals our Walford insider. "She rushes to the toilets to compose herself.
So far, Denise has been keeping her blood cancer diagnosis close to her chest, having only told Jack and Yolande. With Denise’s grandson Jordan facing a long recovery from his recent accident, Denise doesn’t want Chelsea having to worry about her as well as her son.
So determined is Denise, in fact, that she is refusing to start treatment until things are on a more even keel with Jordan, despite being told that her condition could rapidly worsen if she doesn’t.
As she ignores calls from the hospital, worried and frustrated Jack confides in Phil over what is happening, hoping he can help find a way to get through to her.
Later, Denise is stunned when Phil arrives and explains he knows about her diagnosis. Angry, she throws him out, but when he and Jack later arrive at Kim and Howie’s drinks at The Vic, she becomes worried that they are going to expose her secret…
Realising she can’t hide away anymore, Denise finally picks up the phone to the hospital. Her treatment is going to involve her being on the ward for a month, but even though the family reassures her they can keep things running in her absence, she begins to falter as the moment arrives.
"Luckily, someone is on hand to offer Denise some words of advice in an emotional heart-to-heart," teases our insider.
As Denise begins her battle with a new resolve, will the love and support of her family get her through?
Maddox is caught up in the chaos.
Hollyoaks’ Dee Dee Hutchinson will try to kiss Maddox Keane next week, as the teen continues to struggle after her mum Diane’s death. As the situation spirals out of control, will anyone be able to give her the help she needs?
Dee Dee has found it difficult to deal with her grief, and recently began taking ketamine with friend Trina, a dangerous coping mechanism that she has returned to as she had visions of her late mum.
However, struggling Dee Dee is running on very little sleep, and she immediately brings the joyous mood down when she arrives.
The teens descend on the pub later to toast the start of summer, but Dee Dee notices the attention Kathleen-Angel is getting and is jealous. She continues to create tension, and when Tony picks her up on her behaviour, she lashes out at her dad.
Kathleen-Angel grows tired of Dee Dee’s attitude towards her, so she takes matters into her own hands and confronts her friend in the toilets.
Meanwhile, outside The Dog, Jonah, Jack and Darren are bonding over football stories, with World Cup fever in full force in the village – but Dee Dee disrupts the good vibes and causes chaos again.
Tony later confides in Warren about how much he is struggling to parent Dee Dee, and Warren advises him to do whatever it takes to protect his children.
But Dee Dee is rapidly losing control, and when Maddox finds her spiralling outside, he attempts to help. She misreads the signals though and tries to kiss Maddox, and he pulls away.
Furious Dee Dee strikes out at Maddox in response, and the incident is observed by Beth who takes her son away. Leela arrives and takes Dee Dee back to her flat to calm down, but can Leela get through to her?
