Lilian Bellamy
played by Sunny Ormonde
Description
Under normal circumstances, Lilian likes a good time. Having spent many years as a tax exile on Guernsey, she burst back on to the Ambridge scene a merry widow with the express purpose of giving the village a good shake-up. Before the sun was even half way over the yardarm she could be found heading for The Bull or quaffing a G & T on the terrace. Having thought she'd tamed businessman and cardsharp Matt 'Tiger' Crawford recent events have proved otherwise, and he's let her down badly. Riding the rough ground of his fraud case meant she rather lost her sparkle.
