Liz (Shaun of the Dead)
Background
Elizabeth "Liz" "Lizzie" is a resident of the Cunningham House apartments in London, England. She is in a relationship with Shaun.
During the events of Shaun of the Dead (2004) played by Kate Ashfield
Shaun is at the Winchester Tavern with Liz, Ed, Dianne and David, when John calls for last orders. Liz tells Shaun she thinks they should spend more time as a couple. She brings up how Shaun always invites Ed to hang out with them, while she in turn always invites Dianne and David to come out. As they are talking, David butts in and starts to speak for Liz. Liz says she wants to do more than just come to the Winchester every night and Shaun promises to make them dinner plans for just the two of them. The next day Liz calls and leaves a message asking Shaun to change the reservation time to 8 o'clock. Later she calls Shaun at work and asks him if he got her message. Liz calls Shaun and after he suggests they go to the Winchester due to him not making reservations, she hangs up on him. He runs to Liz's apartment and tries to climb up the wall to the 2nd story after Dianne and David tell him Liz doesn't want to see him, but fails. He then calls back and Dianne lets him in. Shaun pleads with Liz to go out with him, but she tells him she is going out with Dianne and David. Shaun gives Liz the flowers he bought for Barbara, but she realizes he bought them for Barbara and she breaks up with him after telling him she needs to make changes.
During Z-Day, Shaun climbs up the wall to Liz's apartment. Shaun tells Liz, Dianne and David he is going to take them somewhere safe and initially David refuses to go until Dianne and then Liz agree to leave with Shaun. They get into the car and Shaun introduces Liz to Barbara. Philip dies and then turns into a zombie and everyone runs out of Philip's Jaguar. They run into Yvonne's group which consists of Declan, Mark, Maggie, Yvonne's Mum and Cousin Tom and who are heading in the opposite direction. Shaun hears Barbara scream and as he goes to help her, he is attacked by Pyjama Zombie. Liz and Dianne help Shaun kill Pyjama Zombie while Ed and David watch. He checks to see how many zombies are surrounding the Winchester and Shaun asks Dianne to try and teach everyone how to act like a zombie so they can sneak their way to the Winchester.
As they make it to the Winchester they find the front door locked and Ed's phone rings and he answers it and tells Noel he still doesn't have any marijuana. Shaun starts yelling at Ed and the crowd of zombies start to surround the group. Shaun tells the others he is going to lead the zombies away and find another way in after David breaks one of the windows of the Winchester. David goes to turn the lights on, but the power is off. David starts to complain about Shaun and his plan and Shaun walks in. As the day turns into night, the outside lights turn on and Shaun goes to flip the circuit breakers in the Winchester back on. Dianne turns on the television and all the channels are offline. Ed asks Liz for money and then uses it to play a loud casino game. The zombies start to pound on the windows and zombie John grabs David and the jukebox suddenly comes on. Shaun, Liz and Ed start whacking John with pool sticks while David goes to turn off the breaker for the power. Liz hits John with a fire hydrant and then Dianne tries to hit him with darts. Ed tosses Shaun the Winchester rifle over the bar and Shaun uses it to push John into the jukebox. Ed tells Shaun he should have shot John and as Shaun pulls the trigger to show Ed the weapon no longer works, he fires a round.
Liz goes to take care of Barbara and Barbara gives her the necklace Shaun's father gave her. Liz then realizes that Barbara has been bitten and calls to Shaun. Shaun starts shooting at the zombies, but is a terrible shot. Barbara shows Shaun her bite and Ed runs over, followed by Dianne. Barbara thanks Shaun for the flowers she found in the trash and then dies. David comes over and cocks the rifle and points it at Barbara and says they have to shoot her. Shaun and Ed break bottles and threaten to cut David and Shaun says David hates Shaun and is in love with Liz. David denies it and Dianne tells him she knows it is true. Liz calms the situation down and Barbara rises from the dead, forcing Shaun to shoot her in the head after telling her he is sorry. David makes another comment and Shaun punches him in the face. David takes the rifle and pulls the trigger, but the rifle is out of ammunition. Everyone is shocked and David tells them he is leaving. As David is standing by the window, a group of zombies break the window and pull David out, ripping his stomach open. Dianne chases after the zombies and starts beating them with David's ripped off leg. The zombies pour into the Winchester and Ed starts making Molotov cocktails. Ed is grabbed and then bitten by zombie Pete and zombie Bernie and Shaun shoots Pete in the head. Shaun, Liz and Ed hide behind the bar and Shaun lights the bar on fire using liquor. They go into the cellar and close the door behind them. As Shaun and Liz are planning to use the remaining two rounds to kill each other, Shaun finds the controls to the barrel elevator. Shaun and Liz make it to the surface and as they are surrounded by zombies, a group of military trucks pull and troops get out and start shooting the zombies. Yvonne runs up to them and she tells them the military is taking them somewhere safe.
Six months later, the television advertises a program about ten year old Enrique Ramirez who was forced to shoot dead his zombie family. Krishnan Guru-Murthy talks about the anniversary of the zombie attacks, called Z-Day. Meanwhile Jeremy Thompson gives his remembrances about Z-Day. On another channel, Vernon Kay introduces Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland who have created the charity music festival Zombaid. Another channel has a news report about how zombies are being used in the service industry and shows a clip with zombie Noel pushing a loose shopping cart to a cart parking point. Trisha interviews Woman on Trisha again, but this time due to Woman on Trisha still living and sleeping with Trisha Zombie. Shaun walks into the living room as Liz is watching a report by Keith Chegwin stating that the rumor that the virus was caused by Rage infected monkeys was false. They make plans for their day and then Shaun goes to the shed to play video games with a chained up zombie Ed.
