EastEnders' Lola Pearce made a devastating discovery on Tuesday night that changed everything.
After the bombshell that recent newcomer Emma Harding was her estranged mother, who seemingly walked out on her when she was aged three, she learned something about their past.
Lola, who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour which was later confirmed to be inoperable, was left devastated as the true circumstances around her mother disappearing from her life came to light.
