Elizabeth "Libby" "Squiggle" Fox is a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. She is played by Belinda Owusu. She made her first appearance on 22 May 2006. She joins her mother, Denise Fox, and sister, Chelsea Fox and lives with them at 89 George Street.
[edit] History
Libby got her nickname, Squiggle, because her sister thought she looked like one on her first baby scan, though most people other than Denise and Chelsea call her Libby.
She has taken a fancy to Darren Miller, and helped him out when he played truant and missed the school photo. She photoshopped his face onto the photo so he could trick his parents into believing he was at school.
She secretly contacted her father's family, and soon after her arrival in Walford, her father Owen arrived and started making demands to see her. A reluctant Denise had to let Owen see Libby, but was furious when she found out that Owen was planning to take Libby to Spain to visit her grandmother.
Denise slept with Owen for a night. Owen hit Denise a couple of days later, witnessed by Chelsea and Libby. The following week, Owen held Denise hostage in her flat. After Denise's boyfriend Kevin Wicks and Libby noticed Denise's absence, they called the police and Owen was arrested.
Owen's mother Liz visited him in prison on 14 September 2006, and took Libby to see him the following day. Libby was upset by this, and persuaded Denise to give Owen a character witness. Owen received a six month sentence, suspended for two years.
On 26 September 2006, Owen kidnapped Libby and took her to Epping Forest in a car stolen from Kevin's car lot. He drugged her and phoned Denise, telling her that she wouldn't have to worry about them now. He tried to kill himself and Libby by filling the car with noxious exhaust fumes. Libby broke out of the car, and was sick in the forest. When Denise arrived at the forest and called Libby's name, she called back, and Owen grabbed her and tried to drown her in a stream. She fell unconscious and Owen jumped into the stream himself. Denise arrived to see Libby's unconscious body on the bank of the stream. She was later taken to hospital and made a full recovery, and was allowed to go home. When in the flat, she was reminded of her ordeal, so Kevin invited her and Denise and Chelsea to live with him at Pat's house.
