Lola Pearce is struggling with balancing her marriage, being a mum to Lexi and her long lost mum's sudden reappearance into her life as she battles a terminal brain tumour in EastEnders but her husband Jay Brown will step in to try and help solve one of her problems.
Emma Harding ( Patsy Kensit ) has proven to a thorn in Jay's ( Jamie Borthwick ) side as she repeatedly attempts to freeze him out while getting to know her long lost daughter Lola (Danielle Harold).
Lola's mum recently returned to Walford after Lexi (Isabella Brown) called on her for support as she struggles to deal with her mum's illness.
