Liberty Savage is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks, played by actress and singer-songwriter Abi Phillips. She made her first on-screen appearance on 10 December 2010. Phillips was approached by Hollyoaks producers after she submitted one of her songs to be played on the show. Following a strong response to the song, producers invited her to audition for the role of Liberty, in which she was successful. Liberty was introduced to Hollyoaks along with her fiancé, Ethan Scott (Craig Vye).
Her storylines have included a love triangle between Ethan, her and her best friend Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter). Phillips said that Ethan is in love with Liberty, but does not love her enough to marry her. On her arrival her on-screen family was introduced, her two brothers, Dodger (Danny Mac) and Will (James Atherton) and her father Dirk (David Kennedy). Phillips performed at T4 on the Beach, performing as two people, as while Liberty got her big break, Phillips also performed her own solo material. In October 2011, Liberty's family was expanded with her cousin Dennis (Joe Tracini) being introduced. In March 2013, Liberty did not appear in Hollyoaks and was off-screen for a period of four months until returning on 19 July 2013. It was announced that Liberty was written out of the serial and would depart during July 2013. Liberty remained on-screen until her departure on 24 July 2013.
Liberty first appears in Hollyoaks when she is sent to the school headmaster's office for singing in class. In 2011, her family arrived at Hollyoaks right after she discover that her family lost their home, since her father Dick didn't pay the bills, and moved to McQueen House, just before the Savage Boat House in 2012. She meets Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) and they bond. Liberty reveals that Ethan Scott, who Theresa has become attracted to, is her fiancé. Ethan begins ignoring Liberty's phone calls and she assumes that he is going to end their relationship. Theresa then decides to help Liberty and Ethan reconcile and prepares a meal for them with Ethan. Liberty sees them and slaps Theresa, assuming that they are having an affair. Theresa's cousin Carmel Valentine (Gemma Merna) finds Liberty and explains that Theresa was preparing a meal for her and Ethan. Liberty then apologies to Theresa.
