Lola has been missing for a long time now. If anyone has seen her, please inform the forum police.

Les made billy kill her and use her for a fake funeral didn't you know?

DTC will have her head on a platter come the end of her contract.

I wouldn't be shocked if she leaves soon. Underused lately

She'll be axed by June/July next year.

It's only Cindy, Stacey and Lauren if when she returns that the producer is interested in of the young and youngish females

You have little chance out with these three, although who has been given Lauren's screentime

The actress has been filming - there is a picture on twitter of her with Richard Blackwood and Linda Henry - only taken a day or so ago.

She is so underused!

It's very frustrating too, cause she's actually a cracking little actress, and is just as capable as the likes of Stacey, Lauren and Cindy at carrying a big story.

It's such a shame, she used to be a major player. And was a ray of light during that awful Phil Mitchell/Lexi thing.

DTC clearly has no interest with the chatacter, and has no clue what to do with her

She has done NOTHING since he took over

I'm surprised Danielle Harold is putting up with this. I keep forgetting she's still part of the cast most of the time

He will be the axe man com'eth!

It's strange that DTC has used Billy well (I mean, he has a job now!) and he isn't using Lola....

What choice does she have? She can't break her contract so she is stuck until they tell her otherwise

Plus realistically she is still being paid by EE and acting work is hard to get so she probably knows leaving would be a bad idea

Can we put Whitney on the missing persons list too? Haven't seen her in ages either.

Very underused. I don't think they know what to do with her

Last we saw of her was a few weeks back I think with her whining about Lee going away. Powerful performance of hers, again showing how udnerused she has been

Yes, of course. But surely she must realise how extremely underused her character is?

Yeah I remember that. But that was a while ago now. Anything could of happened to her since then!

I really like Lola. I want her to have a big storyline where we get to see her a lot. It's a shame she hasn't been used and certain other characters hog the limelight. We've seen Billy so why don't we see him with Lola?

I suppose both Lola and Whitney have had massive storylines in the last 5 years...not every character can say that (although a lot of them are new). I think the problem is that they aren't even in the background. Stacey hasn't had a storyline, but she's done a lot since she's been back - Lola and Whitney need to be used like that, not left off-screen altogether

I have this feeling they might kill her off and then have Kathy take Lexi.

Well she's making an appearance soon, so that's something

Nobody has been "given" Lauren's screentime. You don't assign each character a certain number of minutes that they are allowed to be on screen each week.

Lauren left because she went on maternity leave. She wasn't written out and nothing was changed.

Lola is currently searching for her biological parents, who she will find in the autumn, her father sadly died at the hands of Chrissie Watts, but her mum, who had also died, isn't really dead and returns to meet her. (Kathy)

If there's one character on their way out in Eastenders who hasn't been announced yet it's Lola. Her storyline with Jay was a dead end, she's barely featured or even mentioned on television and I'd be very surprised if her contract was renewed. I wonder what the reason behind her character not being pushed is though, I always thought she had so much potential.

The producer just doesn't rate her, That is all it takes when you aren't a long term legend (Even then you aren't always safe)
