NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Lola (Danielle Harold) was recently given the devastating news on EastEnders that the surgery on her brain tumour hasn’t been a success and the outlook for her isn’t good.
We know that Lola will eventually die from the brain tumour. The show is working closely with charities Brain Tumour Research and Macmillan Cancer Support on the storyline, which will raise awareness of a condition which affects thousands of families every year.
Macmillan Cancer Support’s Strategic Advisor for Treatment, Dany Bell, has said, ‘The moving storyline will show how suddenly a diagnosis can impact every aspect of a person’s life and how challenging it can truly be. We know that what Lola and her fictional family are going through on EastEnders is a daily reality for many people around the UK right now.’
Upcoming episodes will see Lola returning to Albert Square after her surgery. While Ben (Max Bowden) is focused on doing as much research as he can to find alternative treatment options that could help her, Callum (Tony Clay) advises him to talk to Lexi (Isabella Brown) about what her mum is going through and what will happen in the future.
