All the latest updates and news down Walford way!
EDITORIAL, Tuesday 24th June 2025
Hello there, Walfordians! What a week that was, huh? Michelle Ryan back on our screens like she’s never been away, Zoe Slater in fresh, and seemingly lethal, trouble? Perfect start to Ben Wadey‘s tenure as ‘Guv’ner’.
We’ve also received confirmation that Oscar Branning is on his way home, this time played by newcomer Pierre Moullier, who had this to say about joining the cast:
“It’s pretty surreal to join EastEnders – it keeps hitting me that I’m actually on Albert Square!”
When I found out I was joining the Brannings, it was so exciting as they are such an iconic family, and I love that there are so many skeletons in the closet. Oscar is so much fun to play, and the audience should be prepared for the unexpected as he’s a complex guy!”
Executive Producer Ben Wadey, added:
““I’m very excited to bring Oscar Branning back to Walford and introduce viewers to him now that he’s all grown up.
“Oscar is very much a Branning which means there’s going to be plenty of drama in store this summer. We’re delighted to welcome Pierre as he takes on the role and can’t wait for viewers to see him bring Oscar to life.”
Exciting times! This week, Stacey‘s back on the Square after her return last week, but it’s now a ticking clock – remember Lacey Turner is due to leave the show at some point later this year…
And finally, Elaine is showing some seriously bad signs next week, as she collapses, not once, but twice! Is this stress, or is something more deadly bothering the legendary landlady?
We’ll be back next week, with all the usual news! Regards,
The Curator
