EastEnders was full of emotional scenes on Thursday as the BBC One soap aired a heartbreaking exit after Lola Pearce's devastating news. Only recently, Lola has come to terms with a brain tumour diagnosis, and despite knowing her days are numbered, she has continued to be an optimistic and uplifting presence for those around her. However, earlier this week, Lola was asked to come in for her hospital appointment one week earlier than originally planned.
