The Sun<\/a> first reported the shock news, leaving fans stunned. The publication added that new producer Chris Clenshaw plans to shake up the show with explosive twists in the coming months. A \u2018cast cull\u2019 is said to be a part of that \u2013 and the loss of fan favourites is, of course, nothing new<\/a>.<\/p>\n Harold\u2019s contract is noted to have six months left, and the actress is said to have had a meeting with EastEnders bosses where she learned the fate of her alter ego.<\/p>\n An on-set insider said that the star \u201cwas told a number of the cast were being shown the door. No one else has been given their marching orders yet however.\u201d<\/p>\n A source said: \u201cDanielle was teary but handled the news like a true pro and is eager to throw herself into the storyline.\u201d<\/p> Lola was first introduced in 2011 and joined the EastEnders cast<\/a> as the teenage granddaughter Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) never knew he had. The following year, the troublemaker gave birth to daughter Lexi and went on to endure a harrowing time with social services as she fought to keep her little girl.<\/p>\n The character left for Newcastle in 2015 but returned to Walford four years later alongside Lexi\u2019s father, Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden).<\/p>\n Lola\u2019s most recent storyline saw her in a relationship with Isaac Baptiste (Stevie Basaula), supporting him as he relapsed with schizophrenia in a powerful and poignant storyline. Yet, after Isaac departed for Trinidad, Lola found out he wasn\u2019t coming back as he had found a new romance.<\/p>\n This led to a heartbroken Lola mistakenly accusing ex Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) of cheating on his current partner Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton).<\/p>\n Lola is currently co-parenting young Lexi (played by Isabella Brown) with Ben \u2013 who at present is distracted by his own serious trauma<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s too early for details on exactly how she may be losing her life, but there\u2019s sure to be a devastating impact on her family and friends.<\/p>\n The BBC and representatives of Danielle Harold have been approached for comment on the news but neither have yet publicly commented.<\/p>\n Visit our dedicated\u00a0EastEnders\u00a0<\/a>page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
