Danielle Harold's character Lola Pearce has been confirmed to meet a tragic end on EastEnders as upset fans hit out at the soap's bosses for killing her off.
Danielle, 30, has been an Albert Square regular for over a decade now, with Lola involved in some big storylines, after being brought in as the granddaughter of Billy Mitchell. Danielle didn't have to wait long for her first gritty plot as Lola had a child with Ben Mitchell at the age of 15, with the teenager giving birth during a live episode episode to coincide with the Olympic 2012 torch relay, as Billy was chosen as one of the torch bearers.
Danielle first left EastEnders at the end of 2015, before Lola returned with daughter Lexi in 2019. BBC viewers have seen Lola have an on/off relationship with Jay, while sharing parental responsibilities for Lexi with Ben. Danielle is a real fan favourite so news that Lola's EastEnders journey will have a tragic end, with Lola dying from a brain tumour, has not gone down well with viewers, particularly given Maddie Hill's departure from the soap next week and exits for Peter, Stuart and Rainie also reported.
