That was so bad its unreal. I get that some people are saying that she wasn't a big character and wasn't on for that long but still its a missed opportunity, both for the character and future storylines. They should have had her head out to the Albert with Jay, Ben, Abi etc. And after some kind of argument Lola heads off into town alone and doesn't come back. Just disappears. No contact, no contact, no body, no witnesses. Not even the viewers find out what happened to her. This would be a baseline for so many stories... Billy and Jay's worry, Ben facing fatherhood, and then Abi's and Paul's adjustment. Lexi's upbringing without Lola or knowledge whether she is alive or dead... Could be another angle to Lucy's murder cover-up, especially if the Mitchell's were to believe Lucy's killer was responsible for Lola's presumed death down the line...
But no.... Off to Newcastle it is with the man she loves in prison for mugging....
