EastEnders fans break down in tears as Lola Pearce is given devastating news

EASTENDERS fans have broken down in tears as Lola Pearce was given some devastating news.

The hairdresser – who is played by actress Danielle Harold in the BBC soap – has undergone brain surgery to remove a tumour.

Doctors were hopeful they could cut out the majority of the tumour and then treat lola with chemo and radiotherapy to get the rest of it.

However when she woke up in today’s episode, she was told everything was great and that she was going to be OK.

Boyfriend Jay Brown overheard doctors talking and jumped to conclusions – and before checking, told Lola that everything was great.

Sadly when the surgeon came to speak to Lola, it soon became apparent that Jay was wrong – making Lola’s pain all the worse.

He told her: “I told you before that the size and positioning of the tumour was likely to cause us problems during surgery and that turned out to be the case. 

“We did manage to de-bulk the tumour but it was impossible to get it all. This is a tumour that grows and spreads rapidly. 

“We can try to slow the regrowth with additional treatments but I have to be clear – this isn’t curable.”

As Billy struggled to understand, Lola told him: “He means I’m going to die Pops.”

She broke down in tears and viewers joined with her

One wrote: “Oh gosh, that was such a heartbreaking scene, ” while another added: “We knew it was coming but it’s still devastating to hear. Poor Lola.”

A third said: “Crying every episode. Bloody hell, Lola.”

While a fourth said: “I’m in bits over Lola.”
