Lola passed away on Wednesday night's episode after battling terminal brain cancer - leaving her husband, Jay, and young daughter, Lexi, heartbroken.

EastEnders has had a dramatic year, so it's not surprising that the soap has picked up a number of nominations at this year's British Soap Awards. But one person is missing, according to fans and actor Max Bowden. Young Lexi Mitchell has had a tough few months as her mum Lola was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour, before she passed away on Wednesday's episode.

The residents of Albert Square have said their final goodbyes to Lola Pearce in heart-wrenching scenes. Hairdresser and mother Lola, granddaughter of Billy Mitchell, lost her battle with brain cancer during Wednesday night's episode, with her family at her side.

There's nothing stranger for an EastEnders fan than to sit down for Lola Pearce-Brown's final episode and find that the feisty Albert Square favourite doesn't say a word throughout — and yet, it's the parting words of her family and friends that hit home just how brilliant the character was. Since Lola was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in October last year, viewers have been emotionally preparing to say goodbye to the long-time Walford resident as we've seen her health slowly deteriorate over the last few months in scenes that prove Danielle Harold is more than deserving of a British Soap Award.

Danielle Harold's exit from EastEnders on Wednesday after her character Lola dies from brain cancer will leave fans who were invested in her relationship with on screen husband Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) bereft.

A recent photograph showed them gazing into each other's eyes and appearing to look loved-up as they posed on an idyllic beach after filming for EastEnders.

Danielle's Instagram picture was worlds apart from the sad storyline as she donned a white shirt and blue jeans with a blue blazer and opted to add bronzed makeup to the stylish look. She teased her blonde locks into loose waves with plaits and also sported a slick of pale pink lipstick, captioning her post with a butterfly emoji.

Danielle Harold has been playing troublesome Lola Pearce-Brown on and off for years and has become a firm favourite with all EastEnders fans. But soon, Albert Square will lose the fearsome hairdresser as last year, Lola was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. She was only given months to live and her final scenes are set to air this week.
