Character HistoryEdit

1988 Edit

She was born c. 1987 and is brought by her mother as a single parent. Lol struggles with motherhood, post-traumatic stress disorder and the guilt she feels over the death of her abusive paedophilic father Mick (Lol killed Mick in self-defense after he launched a violent sexual attack upon her; upon his own advice, the recently-released Combo took the blame and was sentenced to four years behind bars for manslaughter). Despite her mother's struggles, Lisa is well-looked after by her mother, her father and Lol's family and friends. At the end of This is England '88, an episode set on Christmas Day, Lol and her ex-partner Woody reunite, making him Lisa's new stepfather.

1990 Edit

Lisa, now 3-4 years old, lives with her mother, stepfather Woody and her newborn half-brother Jimmy. Woody and Milky, now best friends again, share fatherly duties over Lisa & Jimmy.
