EastEnders SPOILER: Terminally-ill Lola gets a surprise doctor's call trends now

Lola Pierce will receive some unexpected news from her doctor in next week's EastEnders, as she continues to struggle with the effects of her brain tumour.

In emotional scenes, Lola remains determined to raise as much money as possible through her fundraiser, aware she could be about to get bad news from her doctor.

Viewers have seen Lola's loved ones struggle with the prospect of her terminal diagnosis, with her health growing progressively worse in recent weeks.

A recent flash-forward also hinted that Lola would pass away before 2023 is over, with a photograph of her seen on the bar in the Queen Vi pub. 

Amongst this, Lola's mother Emma (Patsy Kensit) continues to battle her own hidden guilt, sparking suspicion from Jay (Jamie Borthwick) that she is struggling to cope with her daughter's declining health.

In the upcoming episodes, Lola (Danielle Harold) is busy making preparations for her charity fundraising event, but is stopped in her tracks when the hospital ask her to come in for an early appointment. 

Jay tries to hide his concerns from a panicked Lola, and remains optimistic about the visit... what will the prognosis be?

Following her news, Lola insists that she wants to plough on with the fundraiser, and she asks Sam if she can hire Peggy's for the event but Sam declines. 

Lola lashes out before Phil steps in promising Lola that Peggy's is hers for free if she needs it.

Lola is touched by Phil's generosity, leaving a drunken Sam humiliated that her brother has undermined her once again.
