Lydia Hartman

Lydia Hartman was an old friend of Isaac and Annabel Rubinstein.

In October 2017, Isaac and Annabel's daughter Nicola called round to see Lydia for a chat. While Nicola was there, Lydia correctly guessed that she was pregnant.

Nicola opened up to Lydia with her doubts about going ahead with the pregnancy. Lydia expressed that she thought it would be a shame if Nicola didn't have the baby and that she would be a great mother. Lydia assured Nicola that if she had the baby, she would be willing to help out due to her lack of family.

Nicola admitted to Lydia that she had family to help out and told her that Isaac was not her biological father. Although Lydia struggled to believe that Annabel would have an affair, Nicola assured her that she had been in touch with her real father and that things were going well. Lydia was noticeably horrified when Nicola showed her a photo of her with Pat Phelan but put her reaction down to the shock of the situation.
