Danielle Harold has shared an emotional message about the hard-hitting storyline she\u2019s been playing on EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Known for the role of Lola Pearce-Brown<\/a> on the BBC soap, the actress will depart the series later this year as her character has been sadly confirmed to die following an inoperable brain tumour diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Harold took to her Instagram<\/a> on Tuesday 18th April to voice her feelings about being involved in such an important subplot, thanking fans for their support and for sharing their own experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cLola\u2019s story has been a very hard one to tell and one that means so much to me and sadly affects so many people,\u201d she captioned a shot of her in character.<\/div>\n

\u201cBrain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet historically only 1 per cent of research is allocated to this devastating disease,\u201d she added.<\/div>\n

\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
