BBC One viewers were left in tears in early June when Lola’s final scenes were aired.

The hairstylist played by Danielle Harold drew her last breath surrounded by her young daughter Lexi (portrayed by Isabella Brown) and her husband Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick).

Many Walford residents were considerably shaken by the loss and will join Lola’s loved ones for her funeral next week.

It all begins with Lola’s grandfather Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) who is reeling as he attempts to busy himself with final preparations for the funeral.

After a tense meeting with the Reverend, Billy lashes out at Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) and Jay as he shares his disgust for how the Mitchell family treated Lola over the years before storming out.

Jay struggles to deal with his grief and heads to The Vic but he’s soon sent home by a concerned Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) to sober up.

Later, Honey finds a dejected Billy alone outside the funeral parlour and encourages him to say a final goodbye to Lola.

The day of Lola’s funeral finally arrives and Billy is nowhere to be found but will he be a part of the big day?

Later on in the Square, Lola’s hearse arrives adorned in flowers and colourful messages left by the residents of Albert Square.

Lola’s former neighbours and acquaintances then gather round for a celebration of Lola’s life just as she wished. 

The ceremony is a celebration of Lola’s life with emotional speeches from Jay and her daughter Lexi.

But a fatigued Jay soon retreats to No.18 to record a final live stream on her channel thanking her followers for their support.

In later scenes, Jay clearly struggles with his immense grief while Lexi is worried about him which leads her to push Billy and her father Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) away as they try to cheer her up.

Callum Highway (Tony Clay) then suggests that Jay should move into their flat with Lexi but Ben quickly dismisses the idea.

But a major event eventually pushes Ben and Jay to have a heart-to-hear and the latter finally agrees to move in.

Unfortunately, Ben is facing struggles of his own and when the family sit down for dinner, he’s uncomfortable.

Ben panics about how he’ll keep his own issues a secret from his loved ones now that he has a full house.

To top it all off, co-parenting with Jay turns awry when Lexi goes to walk to school on her own and it’s revealed the decision was made without including him weeks ago.

Can Jay and Ben get along?

EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
