Character history
Lily's first appearance in Santa Barbara came in the middle of 1986. She helped Mason Capwell as he struggled in the aftermath of the death of his lover, Mary Duvall. Lilly always seemed to have the right thing to say to whoever needed advice. She fought against the construction of a casino in Santa Barbara and she convinced Hayley Benson to join her, which led to tragedy when Amy Perkins died in a fire that was started during one of their raids.

Lily then revealed the real reason why she came to Santa Barbara - she was actually the biological daughter of Gina DeMott Capwell. When Gina was very young she had been raped and become pregnant. Gina told Lily that her mother, Phyllis Blake, had lied to her that her baby had been stillborn. After realizing that Gina wasn't guilty of anything, Lily forgave her and left town.

Lily returned to Santa Barbara in 1991, running away from her past. During the 4 years that she had been gone, Lily had gotten involved with the Las Vegas crime scene. She got into a debt and stole money from Lionel Lockridge, but Ted Capwell saved her. Lily sought love from Rafe Castillo, and after Ted's girlfriend Katrina Ruyker left, Ted and Lily agreed to a plan to make Rafe and his girlfriend Angela Raymond jealous so they would break up, as Lily wanted Rafe and Ted was interested in Angela. However, Lily and Ted came to realize that they loved each other, stopped their plotting, and got married.
