Lance Samuel Byrne made his appearance in the spin-off Kat & Alfie: Redwater. He was portrayed by Ian McElhinney.

Backstory[]

Lance lived in Redwater all his life. He enjoys riding his horse, swimming and drinking. Lance has a special bond with his great-granddaughter, Adeen Kelly, and they get on well.

Storylines[]

In Episode 1, Lance is seen in a flashback, where he rescues a young Dermott Dolan, Andrew Kelly, and Kieran Harrington from a boating accident, while he is unable to save Dermott's mother, Iris. In the present day, Lance discovers that Kat has come to Redwater to find her son who was adopted 33 years ago. He tells Agnes Byrne, and both of them know the identity of Kathleen's son. Agnes tells Lance that they will not give Kathleen any information, and it would ruin everything they had built up. Lance decides to tell Dermott that Peter is not his real father and Iris was in London when she lost her baby and then brought Dermott back as her own, and Peter does not know the truth. Dermott decides to think about this overnight. The next morning. Dermott finds Lance in the sea during his morning swim and gives him a sacramental bread, which Lance eats. Dermott then pushes Lance into the sea and drowns him while praying for his soul and then forgiving him.
