Biography
Edit
Lisa was introduced to Coronation Street as the pregnant girlfriend of Terry Duckworth. In between Terry's trial and him being sent back to Strangeways for GBH, he proposed to Lisa. She accepted and agreed to wait for him to come out of prison.
Terry and Lisa got married on 27th May 1992, with Terry handcuffed to a Prison Officer for the service. After his mother Vera persuaded the officer to allow Terry to have his handcuffs removed for the photographs, Terry made his escape. In June, Terry was rearrested at Bettabuys and returned to prison.
On 9th September 1992, Lisa gave birth to a baby boy, Tommy. Struggling to bring up their baby on her own, Lisa realised that Terry was never going to be ideal father material, and quickly fell for Des Barnes, who had allowed her to come and sit in his garden with Tommy. Their relationship blossomed, and Lisa agreed to live with Des - but only if they bought another house, as she didn't want to live opposite the Duckworths.
At the beginning of February 1993, Lisa went out to buy a bottle of wine from the Rovers to celebrate getting a buyer for Des' house. On the way out she dropped her purse in the Street. As she bent down to pick it up, she was hit by a car being driven by John Hargreaves. Lisa sustained head injuries and was rushed to hospital, but died a few days later.
