Christmas wedding for Jay Brown and the dying Lola Pearce?

EastEnders is reportedly planning a Christmas wedding for Jay Brown and Lola Pearce.

Viewers of the soap recently saw Lola (Danielle Bishop) receive the devastating news that she is suffering from an incurable brain tumor.

However, the mother of one will still find some happiness in her final days: An insider told The Sun that she is about to get married to her on-off boyfriend Jay (Jamie Borthwick).

“It's the big storyline of the season and there won't be a dry eye in the house,” a source told the publication.

“EastEnders fans will be keeping their fingers crossed for Lola's happiness following the traumatic news that she is dying from a brain tumour.

“The highly explosive scenes will be a great success.”

The Standard has contacted a representative from EastEnders for comment.

Harold first appeared in EastEnders from 2011 to 2015 before making a dramatic return to the BBC show in 2019.

Last month it was confirmed that the popular character and granddaughter of Billy Mitchell would be killed off.

In a statement about the act, Harold said: “It means a lot to us to be entrusted with an act like this – an act that is close to many people's hearts.”

“Unfortunately, many of our viewers can identify with Lola’s story and it was heartbreaking to speak to the families affected by brain tumors and hear their stories.”
