EASTENDERS fans have broken down in tears after Lola Pearce was given devastating health news.
The hairdresser – who is played by actress Danielle Harold in the BBC soap – was found having collapsed tonight and was rushed to hospital.
Lola Pearce is set for an emotional exit in upcoming weeks
She’s been suffering from migraines
After being given a CT scan because of her headaches and collapse, Lola was left waiting in a bed with Jay.
An elderly couple next to them took a shine to them and gave Lola hopes for a long life with the used car salesman.
However, when the doctor came to talk to them, she was left utterly devastated.
“I’ve just been taking a look at your CT scan,” he told her.
“We’re going to move you to a ward as soon as a bed becomes available. I’m afraid there’s no easy way to say this but we found something on your scan which concerns us.
“The scan shows a tumour. We’ll have to do some more tests before we can confirm the diagnosis.
“I’ve seen cases like this before and I know it’s difficult to hear but there’s a strong possibility that this tumour is cancer.”
Lola could barely speak through her tears.
Jay hugged her and said: “Whatever this is, we will fight it.”
Viewers broke down in tears at the emotional scenes.
One wrote: “Oh my god! Bless Lola. It’s so, so sad to see her this way. I really hope she pulls through.”
A second said: “Can’t help but cry at this storyline. Lola has been amazing to watch on EastEnders. I don’t want to see her go.”
Another added: “Gutted to see Lola going through this. She doesn’t deserve this one bit!”
Her exit storyline begins this week
