Hard to see in the two versions of Lily Blake (1986 then 1991) the same character. As well in her own personality as in her interactions with the other protagonists of the show. Thus, when Lily appears for the first time in 1986, she is introduced by Mason Capwell as her redeemer, the woman who brought him out from the pit where he had fallen after the death of the love of his life, Mary DuVall. Lily is then an evangelist and spreads the good words to whoever wants to listen to her  (and even to the others), proclaiming to have the capacity to cure... Preaching the closing of the casino of the town, she involves Hayley Benson in a manifestation which turns badly : taken in the action, Hayley starts a fire in Buzz's place, which causes the death of Amy Perkins.

Lily becomes the black sheep of the town and then reveals the real reason of her arrival in Santa Barbara : to announce to Gina DeMott that she is her daughter. Gina must conform to this surprise which revives in her the memories of the rape that she had undergone at thirteen years old, at the origin of the conception of Lily. She is all the more surprised since her mother Phyllis had told her after the childbirth that the baby was still-born child. Lily, learning that her mother had thus not given up her knowingly, agrees to forgive her and can alleviated leave the town...

It is in 1991 that Lily is back to Santa Barbara, officially to find Gina, semi-officially to flee her doubtful past and some equivocal gangsters of Las Vegas, where she spent these last years. She becomes very quickly friend with Ted Capwell, who helps her when she loses at a horse-race a big amount of money that she had just stolen to Lionel Lockridge. But Ted dating then Katrina Ruyker, Lily has no other choice to turn herself towards Rafe Castillo, Cruz's half-brother, who, like already Sawyer Walker, turns around her. But Rafe becomes engaged to Lisa Fenimore and gives Lily up. This one then foments a plan with Ted : to play the in love ones to make each one jealous the loved person : Rafe for Lily and Angela Raymond for Ted (who has left Katrina). But the game turns shortly when Lily and Ted realize that they really love each other. And when Ted proposes to her to marry him, Lily can only answer by yes...
