EastEnders fans are left in tears as terminally-ill Lola is given devastating ... trends now

EastEnders viewers were left in tears after Monday night's episode when Lola Pierce was given a devastating health prognosis amid her brain tumour battle.

Lola (played by Danielle Harold) was called in a week early by doctors for a surprise appointment alongside partner Jay Mitchell (Jamie Borthwick).

There the doctors told her that her tumour was advancing again and that she had just six months to live.

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

She broke down in tears after getting the news and being told that the only thing they can do for her now is palliative chemotherapy. 

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 Vic pub. 

Lola arrived at the hospital full of hope, as she explained to the doctor that she and her husband Jay had been working on their fundraising day.

However, the doctor stopped her and told her she had some bad news for them.

'I'm afraid it's not good news. The MRI has detected the tumour rate is advancing again,' she said, as a hopeful Lola suggested more chemotherapy. 

The doctor replied: 'We can talk about starting you on some chemotherapy, but I have to stress, this is purely palliative.'

Fans of the show watching at home were in tears, as one said: 'Lola's news. The end has begun #EastEnders'.

A second added: 'Lola being told she has only 6 months to live.' 

Whilst a third shared: 'I know it's only a soap but it breaks my heart #EastEnders.'
