EastEnders fans have been left fearful Lola Pearce’s brain tumour diagnosis could coincide with her upcoming nuptials to boyfriend Jay Brown on the BBC One soap.
Lola’s diagnosis prompted her to bring forward the date of her wedding, which she announced to family and friends in scenes on Thursday evening in Walford.
Lola’s father figure Billy Mitchell was left quietly heartbroken at the implications, but agreed to walk her down the aisle.
