Lillian Tyler is Chatsworths local busy-body and brothel Madame. Lillian's husband Brendan was accidentally shot dead by a young Carl Gallagher. Lillian and Brendan had only one child together, Rodney. Rodney was a problem child and his only time spent with his mother in recent years has been to use her for money. As of Series 5, Lillian has appeared much more in the show, becoming one of Chatsworth's most recognisable faces. Lillian also runs a brothel at her home, a means of making easy money. It is through this new enterprise that she became close to prostitute Kelly Maguire.
