‘I knew she was shady!’ EastEnders fans predict Emma will kidnap Lexi if Lola dies while secretly putting her number in a locket
EastEnders fans assume Emma Harding (Patsy Kensit) may have kidnapped Lexi Pearce when she gave the child her phone number in a locket on Friday’s episode.
Emma’s estranged daughter Lola (Daniella Harold) tells her that she won’t be able to see her much for the foreseeable future as she focuses on raising her own daughter.
But it seems Emma has other plans in mind as she refuses to let go of her new family, and Lexi whispers that the number in the locket is “our secret” as Lola turned her back.
Lexi agreed she would not tell her mother, who is terminally ill, what was inside the locket and later went into her room to open it, revealing a piece of paper with a number on it.
Albert Square newcomer Emma, who has been performing under the assumed name ‘Nicole’, has been discreetly monitoring her daughter’s life and putting money in her mailbox after learning she was struggling financially.

Lola was scared and thought she had a stalker, but she finally put two and two together after Emma admitted she was the one who sent her the money.
But Lola has since seemed a bit unnerved by Emma’s urges to stay in her life, as well as her insistence on showering her with gifts and money.
Fans are now worried that Emma has hatched a plan to take Lola away, with one tweeting: “Emma will definitely kidnap Lexi after Lola’s death”.
Another agreed, saying: “Get Lexi away from this dangerous woman”, while a third said: “I knew she was shady”.
A fourth added: “What is Emma doing now? Kidnapping Lexi after Lola sadly died? Sees it as her second chance to potentially become a mother.”
A fifth wrote: “Emma gave Lexi a necklace with a locker with a note inside that says ‘our secret’ with a number on it… definitely gives villain vibes.”
At the beginning of the episode, Lola broke the news to Emma that they might not be seeing each other anytime soon.
She said: “I’ve been thinking and I’m really sorry but I don’t think I’ll get to see you that much after the honeymoon. I have so much on my plate.’

Emma replied: “I wish we had met earlier. My time is so precious, I just want to spend it with Lexi.”
Lola said, “I see. If that’s all we can have, then I’m grateful for it.”
Emma replied, “These last few days have been the best of my life.”
Lola was tragically diagnosed with a brain tumor last year.
EastEnders has teamed up with Brain Tumor Research and Macmillan Cancer Support for the storyline, which sensitively and realistically portrays the reality of a young person living with a brain tumour.
