Lily Drinkwell, played by Lauren McQueen, made her first appearance on 6 January 2017.[1] The character was announced on 12 December 2016,[2] with further details including McQueen's casting announced on 22 December.[1] Of securing the role, McQueen told Laura Morgan of All About Soap that she met with executive producer Bryan Kirkwood in June 2016 and took part in a reading with one of the cast members. Later that day, her agent rang her to say that she had been offered the role of Lily.[3] She added, "It's brilliant because I live about 15 minutes away from the set. It's the perfect job for me, really."[3]
Lily is the niece of established character Diane Hutchinson (Alex Fletcher). She is billed as a "schoolgirl who's dedicated to her studies but just as feisty as her family members".[1] Lily is also very independent and a "mini-superhero" to the less popular students of Hollyoaks High. McQueen explained that her character appears to be a "typical kind-hearted, butter-wouldn't-melt young teen", but she is actually very tough.[1] She also said that Lily "absolutely adores" her aunt, gets on well with Diane's husband Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) and is close with her cousin Scott Drinkwell (Ross Adams).[1] Lily arrives in the village following the recent death of her mother, Babs, who died from terminal cancer. Her mother's illness has forced her to "grow up before her time."[1] McQueen teased that Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) could be a possible love interest for Lily.[4] McQueen commented that Lily and Prince were total opposites and that no one would think to put them together.[3]
Laura-Jayne Tyler of Inside Soap praised Lily's arrival, saying "We love Hollyoaks' newcomer Lily. She's a charming, friendly, nice girl – so seems like a real innovation in the village!"[5]
