BEN Mitchell is struggling with the thought of losing Lola Pearce to a terminal brain tumour.

The EastEnders mechanic spirals out of control tonight on BBC One. But can his father Phil Mitchell get through to him?

Will Phil’s words be of any help?

Accepting Lola’s tragic fate has been no easy feat for her loved ones but Ben (played by Max Bowden) is failing to keep his emotions in check.

In recent scenes of the London-based program, Ben was adamant that it was too early for Lola to return home following her stay in hospital.

The hairstylist only has weeks to live and her loved ones have been hellbent on making as many happy memories with her as possible.

Ben, on the other hand, lashes out at Honey (Emma Barton) and Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) tonight as he accuses the family of accepting Lola’s prognosis too easily.

Lola’s husband Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) is having none of Ben’s outburst and soon confronts him at The Arches, which leaves the troublemaker furious.

Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) later steps in to speak to Ben about his mother, Peggy, and he implores his son to stop being selfish.

Will Ben really listen?

Later on, the family gather in Lola’s bedroom for another emotional moment.

A guilty Ben heads over to No.18 to apologise for his behaviour but he later leaves a voicemail for Dr Washington.

Unable to accept Lola’s impending death, he requests help to ensure that Lola will still be alive in September, 2023.

Sadly, as viewers have been made aware of, Lola won’t make it through the summer.

Lola’s death scenes have been confirmed to air later in May, and a festival-style funeral lies ahead for soap fans.

Actress Danielle Harold will be bowing out of the long-running show after more than a decade spent portraying the beloved hairstylist and has already bagged a new job.

EastEnders airs tonight from 7.30pm on BBC One.
