Lilian Bellamy
  • Born: 08 Jul 1947
  • Status: Widow
  • Occupation: Property developer/bonne vivante

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 yard arm she could be found heading for The Bull or quaffing a G&T on the terrace.

She thought she'd tamed businessman and cardsharp Matt 'Tiger' Crawford, until events proved otherwise. But once he had served a prison sentence for fraud, they managed to resume their life and they set up a new company, Amside Property Developments. Matt thought she would just be a front for his activities, but she insisted on having a full say in its affairs.
