She feels rather underused of late.

I hope this isnt a sign their struggling to find direction for her.

Hopefully her quiet year is the calm before a busy storm of a year but what direction do you see and want for Lola now?

They've explored nothing between her and Jay.

She's had virtually nothing to do with the family crisis involving Phil and Ronnie.

I'm surprised she hasn't figured into the Dean storyline. She's an employee at Blades yet no one has warned about Dean. Sharon and Stacey know yet neither have said anything to her. Are they just going to let her work there with a rapist, potentially endangering her life? Or any of the unnamed female staff for that matter.

Nowt even with Billy.

Seems like they're wasting her character a lot of late. After Ronnie and Charlie's wedding she has disappeared off the TV like Denny.

She certainly feels very overlooked.

A last chance storyline where Lola gets injured in a car crash and viewers have to vote in whether they think she should live or die. Ideally two alternative endings would be filmed for this storyline.

It would give TPTB a good idea of how popular/unpopular of a character Lola is.

Surely they could introduce her mother.

But I would prefer her to have storylines with already established characters.

Getting her off benefits would be a start

I'm surprised they haven't looked into her and Jay yet, I thought that was the plan when he split up with Abi.

Biggest mistake was axing Julie for her! Shes brought nothing to the show. She needs to leave and come back in a years time as a character in her own right with her own stories. (A bit like Stacey or Mandy Salter)

Shes a good actress so I wouldn't want to lose her altogether hence why thats the best option.

Keep her away from Jay and Ben in the romantic sense - no chemistry and bordering on incest, hes his stepson shes his grand daughter

Dunno, I've lost count of the amount of times she's done something stupid and screeched 'I'M A SINGLE MUVAAA' when Dean rightfully fired her

I do remember her saying she was on benefits at one point though

Out the square in a Black cab. I feel like her character has reached her full potential and should be written out.

Same here. I was glad Billy got a story of his own and an expanded family, but Lola has never really worked for me as a character and I don't think the actress is that great.

On the flip side of that, I don't think Whitney is being used to her full potential.

She can but Im beginning to think shes only regarded as the womb for Ben Mitchells offspring.

Not just her either, what about Billy? I'm getting a little fed up of them both turning up in the background of other storylines involving the Mitchells. Billy is just a glorified lackey who "isn't a proper Mitchell" whenever the others deem his actions unacceptable. They both need storylines.

@ Firegazer - thanks!

They should take her straight to my bedroom.

Gorgeous lonely teenage single mothers are my absolute speciality.

EDIT: Lovely Cindy need also apply.
