Dying Lola Pearce makes devastating discovery in EastEnders
LOLA Pearce is living her last moments in the Square as her health continues to deteriorate.
The beloved EastEnders character makes a horrific realisation next week and her loved ones struggle to wrap their heads around it.
Danielle Harold‘s time on the BBC One soap is drawing to a close as Lola Pearce’s condition gets increasingly dire.
After being taken to hospital and enjoying a day out to the seaside with her husband Jay Brown (played by Jamie Borthwick), Lola returns home next week.
However, Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) is unconvinced she should be leaving the hospital as he struggles to accept her devastating prognosis.
Lola gets home and is greeted by Walford residents who rally around the family for support.
But things take another gut-wrenching turn as Lola becomes very low and her speech is more slurred while the reality of her prognosis continues to set in.
She refuses to see Janet and William while Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) is finding it hard to cope with her complicated emotions towards the situation.
Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick), on the other hand, previously rejected the support of Reverend Mills but a distressed Jay is encouraged by nurse Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) to reach out to her for Lola.
After receiving advice, most notably from Phil Mitchell, Jay reaches out to Reverend Mills who visits Lola to share her religious outlook on death.
Meanwhile, Ben lashes out at both Billy and Honey, accusing the family of accepting Lola’s prognosis far too easily.
