Marital Status: Single
Address: 15a Victoria Street in the flat above Streetcars
Occupation: Co-owner of Streetcars, taxi cab driver

First arrived 
20 June 20, 2005, when he gave some cheeky backchat to Dev in the Rovers before going for an interview at Streetcars. At the interview, he was shocked to find out that Dev was co-owner of the cab company, but with some pressure from Eileen, Dev offered Lloyd a job as a driver.

Character reference 
A loveable scally who likes his Northern Soul music. Lloyd’s brother Patrick has also worked at Streetcars in the past.

Love life 
When leggy Kelly Crabtree found out that Lloyd had bought a share in Streetcars, she was all over him like a rash, but he played it cool at first. As their relationship developed, Kelly started to wonder what was going on when Lloyd kept saying he was playing darts with the lads every time she arranged a date for them both.

Kelly followed Lloyd on one of his darts nights and found him snogging a blonde woman instead. She got her revenge by putting laxatives in his beer at the Rovers. Lloyd eventually told Kelly he was having an affair with a woman called Tina who had loaned him the money to buy into Streetcars. Kelly dumped him but they got back together and he gave her a key to his flat as a birthday present for her.

When Kelly’s ex-prison mate Becky arrived on the Street, she and Lloyd kissed in his flat. Becky poisoned Lloyd’s mind against Kelly and he doubted whether Kelly was innocent over the recent Underworld thefts. The strain on Lloyd and Kelly came to a head when Streetcars cabbie Ronnie Clayton was involved in a hit and run and Kelly admitted she was with Steve McDonald on the night that it happened. Lloyd dumped Kelly and has been single ever since.

Memorable scene 
Suffering the wrath of a woman scorned when Kelly Crabtree put laxatives in his beer after she found out he had snogged Becky.

What next for Lloyd? 
Will Lloyd and Kelly ever get back together? Will Eileen continue to drive him round the bed in the Streetcars office?
