EastEnders airs heartbreaking scenes next week on the BBC soap, as Lola Pearce continues to deteriorate which leaves her struggling mentally.
Lola was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year, and after finding out her condition was terminal she recently found out she had six months to live at most.
But her condition has continued to worsen in recent episodes, with her now close to death in heartbreaking scenes.
It was recently revealed Lola's final scenes had been filmed as well as her funeral, with cast members gathering to remember the character in scenes yet to air.
Lola's death will air in the coming weeks, and next week she's struggling with her prognosis and her declining physical health.
Lola has been in hospital prior to next Monday's episode airing, and in this episode she is brought home by her family.
Ben Mitchell and Lola's husband Jay Brown are both struggling to come to terms with her new prognosis, but rally around Lola.
Lola arrives home and is greeted by the residents of Walford as they rally around the family for support.
As the week goes on, Lola becomes low as she struggles with her speech and her deterioration, with the reality of her prognosis setting in for her.
She refuses to see the younger members of the family, and her family struggle around her with her declining health.
Later, Reverend Mills visits Lola to share her religious outlook on death which comes as some comfort for the character.
She has no idea her ill health is leading to clashes between certain family members, as Ben accuses her loved ones of accepting Lola’s prognosis too easily - leading to a showdown between Ben and Jay.
Later in the week as the family gather in Lola’s bedroom to check in on her, Ben has other ideas.
While he does end up seeing her, feeling guilty, he later leaves a voicemail for Dr Washington in the US requesting help to ensure Lola will live longer.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
