Born by Caesarian section along with her twin brother Freddie because of their mother Elizabeth's heart condition, Lily was the first of the two of them to enter the world and she doesn't let Freddie forget it. Lily reacted to her father's death with anger, and subsequently showed quite a tough side, in comparison to the softer personality of her (only just) younger brother.

When poor GCSE results forced Freddie out of the Felpersham Cathedral School, Lily joined him in solidarity at Borchester College. While completing her A Levels, she began a relationship with teacher Russ Jones. They moved to Manchester where Lily had a place at University. But Lily struggled to get into student life and when Elizabeth suffered a depressive episode Lily and Russ came to live at Lower Loxley. Lily returned to her studies but she and Russ separated after Lily had a one-night stand. Since then Lily's found her feet and moved into The Stables where she's enjoying life as a single woman.

Katie on Lily

I believe Lily to be an extremely bright, confident, social butterfly with quite a charming wit to her. Despite her youth, she’s been through an awful lot and I think she’s developed a much thicker skin due to tragic past events. I also think she’s fiercely loyal. Her Mum and twin, Freddie, mean the world to her.
