Erin Fisher is the mother of Malachy and Kris Fisher. She arrived in the village in 2009 for Kris's graduation from college. Erin had a fear of flying and Kris was surprised she flew over. She looked down at Malachy's mother-in-law, Myra McQueen, saying she must have been named after the murderer, Myra Hindley. After the graduation, Kris announced he would escort Erin back to Northern Ireland. Erin returns in November 2010 after Malachy's death, where she discovers Mercedes McQueen lied to Malachy about having HIV, which led to him hitting her. She then bans Mercedes from attending the funeral.
