Storylines

Lily arrives at The Mill in October 2008, when Heston Carter (Owen Brenman) employs her to ease the workload of his colleagues. From her arrival, it is clear Heston is in love with her. Despite her constant rejection, he perseveres and it is made clear at the start of 2009 that she has feelings for him too, and Lily kisses Heston. Lily is well known for keeping a skull which gains her the nickname Morticia amongst colleagues. Lily helps Ruth Pearce (Selina Chilton) to recover from her stay at a psychiatric hospital. After being persuaded by Julia Parsons (Diane Keen), Lily proposes to Heston at the 2009 Christmas party after their commitment to foster children. To her shock, he walks out of the room, and later explains that they would not work out in the longterm. Lily left The Mill in March 2010 to go on a long-term sabbatical leave after taking on the care of a troubled teenager.
