EastEnders' Danielle Harold has teased a return to the BBC soap just weeks after leaving.
Lola Pearce died in tragic scenes last month as her character passed away following a battle with a brain tumour. Her devastating death has left the residents struggling, especially her husband Jay and daughter Lexi as well as Ben Mitchell amongst others.
In emotional final scenes, a fox was seen making its way through Albert Square, which was meant to symbolise that Lola would always be with the family on the Square, despite her tragic passing.
However, it looks like Danielle could be back on the soap soon if she had her own way.
Roxy Mitchell made a shock return to the BBC show a few weeks ago despite her character dying over five years ago, and Danielle is hoping that Lola could do the same one day, as she revealed she would "definitely" like to come back.
Asked if she'd like to make a return like Roxy Mitchell, she exclusively quipped to The Mirror: "See you next year then!" before adding: "I'd definitely like to come back. Apparently I'm a fox so the fox will be going around the wheelie bins of Albert Square."
Danielle shared how grateful she was for Jamie Borthwick, who plays Jay Brown.
As he came to join her for the interview, she added: "It was even more difficult with this one. As you can tell, he was the one who kept the light on set which was so needed because it was so sad to film. As you can tell, he has just kept my spirits up."
Danielle will miss working with her colleagues but they will remain good friends outside the show.
"It's been such a big part of my life. The reaction has been incredible, it's been so overwhelming. There's been so many messages. I'll miss these guys so much on set but we'll still stay as friends," she shared.
Danielle found her final scenes the "most difficult thing" she has ever done.
She explained: "It was definitely the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. To put yourself in that mindset, it was really difficult to slow the body down, doing the breathing, everything. I thought that would be the easiest part, but I definitely struggled with that the most. The vibe on set was very, just so respectful, I can’t tell you how respectful it felt.
"It really was a completely different vibe that I had never felt before. I think it was because everyone on set has been affected by cancer, it just meant so much to everybody that we got it correct."
