EastEnders’ Lola Pearce is set to marry her long-term love Jay Brown in emotional scenes this Christmas.

They said The sunEastEnders fans will hope Lola will be happy after the traumatic news that she is dying of a brain tumor. The highly charged scenes are a great success.’

Lola is reportedly set to tie the knot with the lovable undertaker (Jamie Borthwick) after learning that surgery to remove her brain tumor was unsuccessful.

News of Lola’s departure was first revealed in June, when bosses laid out their intention to kill her with “grace and care.”

The insider also said that Danielle and Jamie – whose relationship went up and down in the BBC One soap – are getting cozy ‘in real life’ and not just in Albert Square.

They shared: “In real life, Danielle and Jamie have become very, very close.

“I can’t wait to get out there and see what’s possible. I’d like to do a drama – something with a beginning, middle, and end of the story.”

The news comes after it was revealed that Patsy Kensit has landed the role of Lola’s mother for a short period of time.

The actress, 54, has previous soap opera experience, having previously starred in both Emmerdale and Holby City, but she has previously expressed an interest in joining the cast of the BBC show.

In 2019, former model Patsy talked about her interest in going to Walford and becoming the new Peggy Mitchell.

She said radio times“I’d love to do EastEnders, my dad was involved in organized crime in the East End, so I grew up with villains and backgrounds like that. I can pull a pint and say, “You’re banned.”
