EastEnders airs the devastating moment Lola Pearce dies next week on the BBC soap.

In heartbreaking scenes, the week will begin with her family learning it's Lola's final days as she continues to deteriorate following a brain tumour diagnosis last year.

The character was told her condition was terminal, but as her treatment stopped working recently she learned the devastating news she had just months to live.

This soon became weeks in tragic scenes, as doctors informed Lola there was nothing more they could do for her.

In scenes this week, Lola was taken home from the hospital as she wanted to spend her last days at home with her family, including daughter Lexi.

Lola begins to suffer seizures, and the nurse breaks the news to Jay that his wife doesn't have long left, and is near the end.

Billy, Lola's grandfather, is devastated and panics as he wants to get Lexi and his own kids out of the house so they don't see what's happening.

He ends up getting drunk and lashing out at Nish Panesar, as he struggles to cope with the enormity of the situation and what Lola is going through.

As things get violent Billy ends up getting arrested, while Lexi's dad Ben Mitchell is still in America trying to save Lola - unaware how close to death she is.

As the week continues, Jay stays with Lola who is now unresponsive - as the nurse arrives and explains there will now be long periods of unconsciousness.

She informs Jay that now is the time for the family to say their goodbyes as her death looms.

With the family desperate to get Billy there in time, and Callum panicking Ben won't make it back to the UK before she dies, there could be more heartache ahead.

As the week draws to a close, Jay struggles to say goodbye to the love of his life and other family members including Phil Mitchell also find the situation difficult to comprehend.

Kathy Beale and Callum go into Lola's bedroom and say a heartfelt goodbye, promising to look after Lexi for her.
