Ms Hammond

Ms Hammond was the mother of Liam Hammond and former girlfriend of Frank Tate.
In late 1960, Ms Hammond met twenty-three-year-old Frank Tate. The pair embarked on a relationship and soon Ms Hammond fell pregnant with Frank's child but Frank did not stick around. Ms Hammond gave birth to her son, Liam James Hammond on the 9th August 1961. Ms Hammond bought Liam up in poverty and scraped by to make a living whilst Frank became a rich businessman lived the life of luxury.
Ms Hammond was deeply in love with Frank and believed he'd always return to her one day. She remained convinced of this even after Frank married Jean and the couple welcomed two children, Chris and Zoe. Ms Hammond continued to keep tabs on Frank from afar and kept clippings of any newspaper article mentioning him. When Ms Hammond saw Jean's obituary in the newspaper in late 1984, she hoped Frank would finally return to her but she was left devastated when he married his much younger secretary, Kim, just over a year later. 
After learning about Frank's marriage to Kim, Ms Hammond was so devastated she barely left the house and eventually committed suicide in July 1999. The following month, Liam got a job at Tate Haulage. By this point, Frank was also dead so Liam began targeting Chris, even going so far as to kidnap his younger half-brother which culminated in Liam being shot dead by Zoe.
