She's supposed to love Jay
She's supposed to love Billy
She's not wanted by the Police
Nobody is after her.

So why is she in Newcastle.??????????

Shabby writing to get rid of her quickly?

She wants to go down the Grove

Shite writing that's why.

it's cos she really loves Dexter and could no longer hide from her feelings

I bet that will be the excuse for her not returning and Jay staying.

To fit in with her orange skin tone

Newcastle is much better than London, if people would bother to ever visit it.

Total nonsense, apparently she got a job. Whaaat??? She lives in London for crying out loud that is full of salons!!

Maybe the job in Newcastle was paying 50p more an hour. Hell, I'd move to Australia if I saw a job advertised paying 20p more an hour.

What planet are the writers on these days?? And half of them are Oxbridge educated!!

Its bizarre a week ago she was happy with a life just her Lexie and Billy but now she's inexplicably moved to Newcastle because her boyfriend of 1 week got arrested. Both were going on the run for a mugging which got Jay a suspended sentence and a tag...lets be fair EE characters dont ever leave walford anyway

She's a magpie. She loved Newcastle's end of season form and just couldn't resist going up their.

She's got the taste for Newky Brown!

100% agree with this!

This. dtc just wanted her gone and gave her a pointless exit out of the blue for no reason (character wise) and the only reason bts is becuase he doesnt like the character. The man should be ashamed.

she hasn't got a job! Billy is just saying that to save face and not have to explain the real reason she left

It was a very hastily written exit, that's why. It wouldn't kill her to wait 3 months on the square for Jay.

I suppose at a stretch you could assume she wanted to get away from Phil.

For the character it still makes no sense. Nothing was really directly against her anyway.

It was just to get lola and danielle out due to dtcs hatred of the character

I thought dtc gave danielle a 2 year contract shortly after he became producer. Why would he do that if he hated the character.

I was just saying this to my other half, how shit was Lola's exit?

It literally does not make sense.
From the utter mess that was her exit, I have surmised that she is in Newcastle to punish Billy for shopping Jay to the police, having already been disgusted by Phil shopping Ben to the police. You know cause it's the Mitchells and all about faaaamily, except this week it seems to not be the case anymore.

The train station scenes at the end were pathetic. If you're angry, leave angry. The tearful goodbye just did not make sense.

Plus

"Down 'ere I'm just another single mum trying to get by. Up there, I could make somink of meself" says the girl who walked out of a job in the salon round the corner, she spent months working her arse off to get!

Her boyfriend is back in Walford and from what I know, he isn't due to leave anytime soon. Mind you, they are fast running out of routes to take Jay, which is a shame because he's a good actor but is being starved of any sort of decent material.

Lola too was a good character, but it's typical EastEnders, let's get rid of her in a nonsensical episode, with no build up or nothing. Terrible.

The most random exit since Jack Branning. Nothing will ever beat that

Not even Silly Billy could explain it by saying that she had been sacked by EastEnders.

Also they never seem to just move to Hounslow, Fulham or Clapham, always some far off city at the drop of a hat.

She had to go to Newcastle to translate on Dexter's behalf to the geordies

I noticed on DTC Twitter he never mentioned Lola's exit or congratulated Danielle. DTC OVERATTED

That scene with lola & billy when she was leaving was so stupid & unrealistic she was so upset that he rang the police for his own selfish needs then next minute they are hugging & saying they love each other. Also why doesn't Lola just come back & be with Jay he is not in prison. Lola's exit was worse than getting sent off in the back of a taxi lol
