Seems unlike Danielle Harold would ever be asked back.

Is the character as the mother of Phil Mitchells grandchild worth bringing back anytime soon recast?

Perhaps eventually, but I don't think we need any more Mitchells at the moment though. Billy the Pervert has his family setup as it is. I'd prefer that they brought Cindy back, there's more mileage there with the Beales, and her brother is around now.

Seems to have left on bad terms. This has been widely discussed previously as I remember having the conversation with you

I'd certainly consider it Hils, though a good 50-60% of the reason I want her back is because the current actress is hot

Billy doesn't need her anymore. He has Honey and the kids.

Plus, the Mitchell family is huge at the moment. So it could be the straw that breaks the camel's back to add another one.

I'd be interested in seeing Kathy bond with Lexi though. Maybe they should kill off Lola off-screen and have Lexi come to stay with Ben, with Kathy doing the heavy lifting. Although the show has no interest in writing for Kathy so that's unlikely to happen.

I could take or leave Lola. She was an annoying chav when she first rocked up, then I felt sorry for her when Phil and that crazy social worker tried to take her baby, but right before she left she proved herself a nasty individual bullying Stacey to the sheer delight of Phil, Sharon and Billy.

well yes I know that but it was a dtc issue I think more than anything so no reason why another producer might give her another chance and bring her back.

wouldnt mind seeing how her and honey get on

Exactly what i was going to ask.

She was a good, natural actress who did them proud in the live bit of the Olympics bit and several high profile storylines afterwards.

As far as i'm aware she didn't fall out with the Producers they just decided they didn't have plots for Lola anymore.

Really?

I'm not doubting it but I seemed to have missed this being revealed/discussed at the time.

I doubt it will happen now they have replaced her with pointless Louise, totally trashing Lisa's character again in the process.

IIRC the actress was retweeting posts from people saying things like it was ridiculous that Lola left the show. To be fair her exit was really sudden considering she left after Jay got tagged for mugging a shop with Ben on Lucy's death night. Also she broke up with Jay on his birthday for Dexter offscreen

I don't think she fell out with producers but understandably she was upset that her exit was not her choice. The Liam Butcher actor tweeted earlier this week for people to stop asking him if he's returning to EE since he didn't decide to leave the show.

She was probably just agreeing and expressing she was upset

No more recasts. Also there are lots of characters I would rather see return before Lola.

Lola's not required I agree and I also agree that Cindy would fit back in nicely

I doubt it will happen now they have replaced her with pointless Louise, totally trashing Lisa's character again in the process.
Agree

i dont think a recast of Lola nor Cindy is needed really, i think it was the producers decision for Danielle to leave and Mimi's decision that Cindy left, seeing as she was at the recent Meet and Greet though she did say she had no plans to return when i asked her

I'd love Lola (& Lexi) to come back. Her Mitchell connection need not be a big issue apart from being Billy's granddaughter. They'd be a bit crowded in the flat if she moved in with Billy, Honey and the children but Lola is a big girl now and may be able to afford her own place.

She might do something for Jay too! He has some people on his side but no-one so far has been prepared to speak up and fight for him. He needs that.

I can't see them bringing Lola back. Lexi on the other hand, I bet they find a way to bring her back a few years down the line.

I dont see the point

Ben wants nothing to do with his daughter and never has done

Phil is a drunk and doesnt care about his own kids let alone a granddaughter

no point whatsoever in bringing either back

No Danielle Harold was great as Lola, I really wish they'd bring her back.

I would't see the point, I don't know why they got rid of her in the first place, her exit was ridiculous as was Cindy & Liam, if she was too return rather see DH back.

DTC did the dirty on her.
