Lillian Tyler (born 1947, but when The Jockey was to be blown up in series 7, Lillian's year of birth was shown as 1870), is a local busy-body. She had an affair with her friend Carol Fisher's (Marjorie Yates) husband in the 1970s, which results in a catfight in The Jockey. Her husband, Brendan Tyler, was accidentally shot dead by Carl Gallagher (Elliott Tittensor). As of series 5, Lillian has appeared much more in the show, even becoming narrator for episode 7. Lillian also runs a brothel at her home, a means to making easy money, after Kelly Maguire (Sally Carman) moves in with her. Frank Gallagher (David Threlfall) often makes reference to her resemblance to Mel B's caricature from the TV series Bo Selecta!. In series 6 it is revealed she has a son called Rodney, and she appears not to like him, and feels that he is a waste of space. Lillian appeared in 118 episodes in total.
