Liberty Savage is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by actress and singer-songwriter Abi Phillips from 2010 to 2013, and Jessamy Stoddart from 2018.
Following a strong response to the song, producers invited her to audition for the role of Liberty, in which she was successful.
In October 2011, Liberty's family was expanded with her cousin Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini) being introduced.
Liberty returns home to find her house boarded up and her brother, Dodger tells her that it has been repossessed.
He then takes Liberty blindfolded to 26 Leigh Road, the McQueen family's house, as they are in Tenerife.
She then decorates the flat with her belongings, which annoys Ethan's flatmates Noah and Doug Carter (PJ Brennan).
However, Myra meets Liberty's father, Dirk and decides to let the family stay temporarily.
The family set up camp in their back yard after Myra discovers Dodger killed her pet lamb for food though Theresa allows Liberty to stay in her room.
Ethan then turns up looking for Liberty, however Will gets the wrong idea thinking he's coming for Theresa and the boys fight.
She returned to Hollyoaks and announced to her family that she had a record deal and was asked to move Los Angeles to start a career.
A party was held before she left in a taxi, but was interrupted by Nancy & Sienna as they were fighting over for their relationship with Darren.
Liberty (now played by Jessamy Stoddart) turns up at Dirk and Cindy Cunningham's (Stephanie Waring) house escorted by police.
Milo Entwistle (Nathan Morris), Cindy's lodger, witnesses Liberty being bundled into a car and calls the police.
It is later revealed that Liberty stole expensive hard drives from her ex-boyfriend Kelvin who cheated on her.
Liberty is horrified when she finds out that Milo has been tracking her stepsister Holly Cunningham (Amanda Clapham) around the village and breaks up with him.
Liberty, along with Cindy and Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins), find Dirk dead.
The song was used in established character Steph Cunningham's (Carley Stenson) final episode, in which she died in a fire.
