Now it seems a fan theory following the 2027 flash-forward episode on New Year's Day may be about to come true as Oscar is now tipped to be caught between two offspring of the Trueman clan, so much so that Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) will consider him part of the family by next year.
The paper reports that newcomer Joshua Vaughan has been cast as Jasmine's twin brother and will arrive in the coming months.

A source told the publication, "This is going to be one of the hottest love triangles the soap world has ever seen.
"Oscar is happy with Jasmine, but when her twin arrives, the chemistry between them is something neither can ignore.
"It’s going to set temperatures soaring in Walford. But with Jasmine having bumped off her dad, Anthony Truman, at Christmas, the pair had better watch out."
The BBC declined to comment when approached by Radio Times about this report.
