The hairdresser’s health has been on a drastic decline in recent weeks as actress Danielle Harold prepares to leave Albert Square after more than a decade.

Despite her condition, Lola has been adamant on working at Fox & Hare but with her health deteriorating, she’s been forced to take her leave from the salon.

Next week on BBC One, Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) organises a leaving karaoke party for Lola.

Sadly, Lola becomes overwhelmed by the events of the day, particularly as Kim struggles to find a karaoke machine.

She secretly retreats outside, leaving Denise Fox (Diane Parish) Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) to realise that she’s gone missing.

The trio of women panic when they fail to find her and Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) soon joins the search with Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick).

Billy eventually finds a confused Lola on the floor outside the gym and she begins to panic when her speech and mobility are both impaired.

A weakened Lola wakes up in hospital with Ben, Jay and Billy at her side and she’s soon told the heart-breaking news that her palliative chemotherapy treatment hasn’t worked.

Fully aware that Lola’s time is quickly running out, Jay breaks her out of the hospital in later scenes with the idea of enjoying a fun-filled day at the seaside.

Lola then spots a ruby necklace which she hopes to buy for her daughter Lexi as a 16th birthday present.

While at the sea front, the couple share a heart-to-heart and Jay has a massive surprise for Lola.

Viewers of the long-running drama are bracing themselves as Danielle Harold has reportedly filmed her character’s last ever scenes.

Lola’s death has been confirmed by a flash-forward and the filming of a tear-jerking funeral scene.

But how will it play out on our screens?

EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
