Her only daughter Katie died shortly after her birth in 1992. She is the current co-landlady of the Rovers Return. Liz is also the grandmother of Amy Barlow, Oliver Battersby and Ruairi McDonald. Liz lived in Coronation Street from 1989 to 1998 and then 2004 to 2011. She first moved to the Street with the family when Jim was demobbed. Before that, they'd lived in Army housing but with Jim abroad a lot of the time, Liz raised the twins virtually on her own. Liz's fling with Jim's Army buddy Johnny Johnson dates from this period, Jim's discovery of which caused him to assault Liz, leading to their divorce in 1996. Their second marriage lasted from 2000 to 2005, when Liz got tired of waiting for Jim who was at the time serving a prison sentence for manslaughter. Liz started working behind the bar at the Rovers in 1990 and became landlady in 2006 when Steve bought the pub. Aside from Jim, Liz has had many lovers, including Harry Mason, Owen Armstrong and Vernon Tomlin, who she married in 2007 but they separated the following year as Vernon didn't excite her as her stronger, alpha-male types boyfriends had. Liz reconciled with Jim again in 2011 and they planned to buy the Rovers together but when Jim was sent to prison again for trying to rob a building society, Liz left Weatherfield for Spain. She subsequently returned in October 2013 as the co-owner of the Rovers with son Steve."@en . "Liz McDonald"@en . . . . . . "Liz McDonald"@en . "1957-11-03"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
