EastEnders fans can expect devastating scenes in the coming weeks, as a character is killed off as part of a tragic storyline.
Fresh from location snaps revealing one cast member had filmed their final scenes, new images from filming confirm that a character will die very soon.
The soap has begun filming heartbreaking funeral scenes, which means the death could be on screen within weeks.
Lola Pearce will tragically pass away in the coming weeks, as confirmed by her coffin and flower arrangements which spell out her name.
The character was revealed to be leaving the BBC soap last year as part of a devastating twist, that saw her diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Lola learned at the end of the year that her tumour was inoperable and she would die, and in recent weeks she was told she had just months to live.
Recently, Lola actress Danielle Harold took to social media to thank fans for their support as she filmed some of her final scenes on the show.
She and her co-star Jamie Borthwick, who plays Lola's husband Jay Brown, were snapped at the seaside.
Lola is in a wheelchair in the scenes, with spoilers confirming that her heath will deteriorate in the coming weeks ahead of her death.
With both characters keen to make memories for her young daughter Lexi, Lola has begun getting things in order - including recently asking Jay to adopt her and Ben Mitchell's daughter.
But it seems time has run out for the character whose condition has worsened on screen, with new images showing a hearse carrying Lola's coffin being driven to Walford.
Lola's white coffin has messages written on it from various Albert Square residents, including Kat Slater, Bobby Beale and Karen Taylor.
Her white coffin has engraved hearts on the side, and is surrounded by pink and white flowers including one arrangement that spells out 'Lola'.
There is a second arrangement on the opposite side that possibly spells out the same name or something linked to daughter Lexi, but it isn't in view.
A series of funeral cars follow the hearse, while no cast members were snapped in any of the images.
Snaps from location recently saw Lola at the beach with Jay, while it was thought Lexi may appear in some of the scenes too.
It's thought these are some of her final scenes on the soap, while it's not been confirmed when her final episode will air.
Given the new filming snaps, it's been confirmed she does die soon and that viewers have just weeks left of Lola onscreen.
It's thought filming often takes place around five to six weeks prior to transmission, so Lola's death may air In June or July.
Taking to Instagram last month, actress Danielle spoke of the "difficult" but important storyline, as she thanked viewers.
Danielle said: "Lola’s story has been a very hard one to tell and one that means so much to me and sadly effects so many people.
"Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet historically only 1% of research is allocated to this devastating disease.
"I would like to take a moment for everybody that has reached out to me and shared their experiences with me , I have read every message And hold all of your messages close to my heart whilst playing this story.
"I have been blessed to meet the most incredible people and work with some wonderful charities along the way and I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for all your support advise and love."
Lola first joined the soap in 2011, and after being written out in 2015 she returned again in 2019 with daughter Lexi.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
