Lola Pearce-Brown confirmed that she is dying to her daughter Lexi in an emotional EastEnders<\/a> tonight.<\/p>\n

After previously wishing to keep some hope alive for her daughter, Lola (Danielle Harold) decided that it was time for her to be honest with Lexi (Isabella Brown) and confirm that her brain tumour is terminal and she will die soon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the morning after Lexi got ready for school, Lola sat Lexi down to speak honestly with her<\/a>, accompanied by her husband Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) and Lexi\u2019s father Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden).<\/p>\n

Lola then tearfully confirmed to Lexi that she had wanted to preserve Lexi\u2019s happiness and also her own hopes of recovery, but knew now that she had to be honest with her daughter.<\/p>\n

However, Lexi initially reacted by feeling betrayed as Lola had lied to her, asking instead to go to school immediately.<\/p>

Later, Ben picked an emotional Lexi up from school and as she sat in the playground near The Arches contemplating her mother\u2019s mortality, she was approached by a stranger, Emma Harding (Patsy Kensit), who unbeknownst to Lexi is her grandmother.<\/p>\n

As Lexi explained that her mother lied to her, Emma suggested that perhaps Lola was trying to protect her and reassured Lexi that her mother loves her before leaving.<\/p>\n

Finally, Lexi returned home and embraced Lola, aware of her mother\u2019s love, who remained emotional over the situation when speaking with Jay.<\/p>\n
