I was finding it sad but not heartbreaking - Although that final minute did had me in tears. Danielle did a brilliant job and I do hope she’ll be successful in the future. At the start, Lexi was annoying me but she did sort of redeem herself in the last scene. I was waiting for a proper heartbreaking moment with Billy but maybe we’ll get that tomorrow? Or will it just be business as usual with a funeral in the background now? Sonia’s whole character just pisses me off with everyone trying to grieve and her just dropping stupid facts about illness and death 🙄 we get it you’re a nurse but just let people grieve in peace

the part where she was like “i’ve seen lots of people die” while simpering off into the middle distance like 🥺 had me irrationally mad. they’ve made her such an irritating character.

Honestly the credits lol. You'd think Danielle Harold was dead not her character! She's probably on her way to Hollywood and leaving that miserable place behind . It was sad though I'm not a complete heartless cow .

I did think this myself, while I did give a little cry thinking about leaving behind my own children if I was in this situation they definitely made out as if she had died in real life 😂

I really don’t want to see Jay go off the rails after losing Lola, like another poster said upthread it’s been done to death and while yes, sometimes that does happen, there are many other ways that grief manifests and those should be explored too, rather than getting Jay a drug habit or locked up for GBH cos he’s battered someone out of anger.

That'll be Ben.
 
My mum died of breast cancer last June. She went to live with a family member who’s a palliative care nurse. I used to get there at around the same time every morning. She passed, I was told, ten minutes before I got there on the last day. It stings that I wasn’t there. But maybe my mum wanted and chose to pass before I got there. Who knows.

I knew the same thing was going to happen to Jay. I wonder if he was inadvertently stalling in the bathroom because a part of him didn’t want to witness Lola’s last breath, as it’d be too painful (despite promising her he wouldn’t leave her). Then again, that end stage can go on for days/weeks.

I totally agree that the majority of the story was very true to life and done respectfully. However, I still can’t decide if Kim’s “Hello Lola” thing was lovely, or possibly a bit humiliating for Lola (I know it’s not real, but still 😅). I wanted to take videos and/or voice recordings of my mum, but didn’t, as I didn’t want to make her feel like an exhibit. She was upset about how much her appearance had changed due to steroids. But everyone - patient and loved ones - is different; I guess you can only make your best judgement (when the person themselves can’t say either way, I mean). Lola would have absolutely loved Lexi doing her nails.

Jesus christ was thar a fox making all that noise? Glad I don't live anywhere near any. I thought it was someone getting murdered!

I lived in a village for a few years in a rural location. Every few months someone new would move in and we’d get a concerned Facebook post saying “omg I can hear some horrible screaming sounds!” It’s terrifying the first time you hear it.
