[edit] Character History

Lisa was the youngest of four children and used to be very shy and sensitive. Lisa often bore the brunt of her families troubles. Shy and intelligent, Lisa was under constant supervision by her overprotective dad Les and older brothers Dan and Lee. She had a troubled life and was bullied at school by nasty Steph Dean who was jealous of how popular someone so nice was.

After some family problems, she reverted to self-harm to make her feel better. Lisa kept a secret from everyone, until Brian Drake saw cuts on her arms and legs and assumed she was being abused and called a social worker. She admitted to self harming. She saw a counsellor for a while and became Brian's girlfriend but became a little to reliant on his help when her troubles at home became too much. They split up just before their exams started. When hunky new boy Cameron Clark arrived he took an instant shine to Lisa and the two started dating. Around this time she started receiving threatening text messages from a mysterious stalker. Her friends assumed it was Steph as she had always made her life hell and also wanted Cameron for herself.

Lisa's stalker was revealed to be her jealous ex boyfriend Brian who had been terrorising her as he had failed all his exams and blamed her rather than himself. Cameron and Lisa lost their virginity to each other, but broke up and Lisa briefly dated older man Kristian Hargreaves.

When her beloved big brother Dan died Lisa became more confident and was determined to enjoy life to the full. Her reckless behaviour included having an affair with one of Dan's friends Jake Dean and passing on an STD. The affair did not last. As Jake was totally in love with his girlfriend Becca Hayton, he ended the affair before confessing to his girlfriend. Lisa was gutted when Becca ended their friendship and Jake admitted that Becca was the only woman he loved and he had used Lisa. Lisa turned to Dan's other friend (actually his best friend) Ben Davies for comfort and riled his casual girlfriend Louise Summers who schemed to get her out of his life. She failed as Ben had fallen for Lisa and dumped Louise. Ben declared his love as Lisa was planning to go and stay with Ben's younger sister Abby in Brighton. The two decided to leave the village together to find a place of their own and get away from all their troubles.

The two left Hollyoaks behind to appear in their own spin off show, Hollyoaks: Let Loose.

They currently reside in Liverpool where Lisa is working as a receptionist and a model. Fans were shocked when Lisa accidentally killed Ben in the series finale of Hollyoaks: In the City.

Rumours on the Digitalspy Soap Forum suggest the character is to return, possibilities include a small week long stint in which she is trialed for murder or a 3 month appearance. But with the "new look" Hollyoaks just gone live it's unlikely a return is in order.
