    Would anyone notice if Lola left?

    I do actually like Lola and would be disappointed if she left. Unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if she was bowing out though.

    She should be killed off. Lexi is needed, she isn't

    I hope not. They need to start investing and using the character.

    I enjoyed her scenes with Frankie tonight. Both characters need friends away from their family.

    Lola needs a big, decent storyline, she is another very underused character.

    Agreed, there seems to be no plan for her.

    The storyline that is tailor made for Lola was bringing her Mother in but TPTB have never been interested in doing that.

    I wouldn't blame her for one second, she has been offensively underused. If my employer thought so little of me I'd be long gone already.

    Seems to be the same for most of the characters, but Lola in particular has barely featured and when she does, it's as a spare part in other people's stories.

    If that is true then she should have left with Issac. She found happiness and went to live her life in nicer weather.

    Does beg the question of what happens because there's no way Lexi will be going with her. I wonder if Ben has another Heather accident but this time with Lola.

    I mean, her and Isaac were literally the only memorable story she's had since coming back, so I wouldn't blame her at all.

    Plus, surely Danielle-Harold must be fed up of wearing that same old outfit all the time? 😅

    It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if she did go. If it wasn't for the fact that they clearly want Lexi around I doubt she'd have been kept around this long (or indeed brought back at all).

    As others have said it would bring up the question of what happens to Lexi. The only options for Lola's exit would be death or prison as there's no way she'd go anywhere without her daughter.

    I honestly wouldn’t miss her, the character has no spark and Danielle Harold is not a great actresss Imo

    Well, if Ben ends up leaving, then there's no need for Lola or Lexi.

    I can't see Ben still being in the show by Christmas.

    One of those “fiesty” characters that we are supposed to root for, even though she throws drinks at people and acts like a general thug, but is never reprimanded for her actions.

    Her hair is getting lighter, almost white but her eyebrows are getting darker and thicker, like slugs. I can't take my eyes off them every time she's on screen.

    Maybe it was just too obvious though.

    And leave another kid with a dead parent? Eastenders isn;t as bad as Corrie in this regard but there are still too many of them in soap

    I expect the payday from doing I’m A Celeb meant he didn’t need to worry about money for the next few months, take an extended paternity leave and he could be a stay at home dad, if that is what he’s now doing
