Lillian Hunter is the mother of Les Hunter. Lillian arrived at 65 Christleton Terrace to stay with the family in December 2002, to Les's wife Sally and their daughter Ellie's discomfort. Lillian's arrival brought on a problem, in that Norman Sankofa was in the spare room and Lillian refused to climb stairs, so the lounge had to be re-arranged for her. Despite Lillian's stay only being brief, Norman decided to move out and ended up on the streets.
In September 2003, Sally mentioned that Lillian was viewing Lee Hunter's music performance on Chester One. In December 2003, Lillian stayed with the family as Ellie was left in a coma after falling from a roof. In 2005, Lillian had a fall and Les sent his youngest daughter Lisa to look after her for a couple of weeks as Lisa had fallen into trouble.
