Biography

Eddie was hired to work at Radley Sanitarium several years prior to "Pilot". His nurturing attitude helped many patients including Marion Cavanaugh, whose death he knew wasn't suicide. He knew that Darren Wilden had taken a bribe to write his report a specific way.

Despite knowing this vital information, Eddie stayed quiet and kept his head down so he could continue caring for his patients. For several years after Marion's death, he was Bethany Young's nurse until her murder.

Personality

Fiercely protective and loyal, Eddie was dedicated to his patients and abided by his ethical code when it came to talking about his patients. Despite his moral code, Eddie kept vital secrets regarding Wilden's less than ethical behavior and knew that Marion death wasn't a suicide - information he withheld from her son.

He seemed to form a bond with Spencer Hastings, and often played games with her or talked with her. She once called him sweet and kind. He also bonded with Mona Vanderwaal, whom he played board games with on multiple occasions.

Pretty Little Liars

Season 3

Spencer talks with Eddie in her room at the Radley. He asks her what was making her so sure someone had stolen his badge. Spencer tells him that she saw a guy with his ID, with his own picture. Eddie asks her what he would have needed it for. Spencer tells him it was to visit someone, someone that he could not simply visit because he was doing things for her in the outside wall. She tells him the patient's name was Mona Vanderwaal and that the guy's real name was Toby. Eddie tells Spencer that there were not just stolen badges, but problems with the visitor passes, and they had traced it back to someone on the staff. He tells her he has to keep his mouth shut to keep his job. Before leaving, he tells her this was Mona's room when she was interned at Radley.[1]

Wren comes to visit Spencer in Radley, but has some obvious friction with Eddie. After Wren leaves, Spencer asks Eddie about Wren, who reveals that Wren isn't trustworthy. She puts her pill into her mouth and Eddie leaves. Wren and Eddie have a tense conversation where they argue over giving Spencer a book, and Wren says, "We're not having the same problem again, are we Eddie?". [2]

Season 4

Spencer walks into Radley carrying a tin of homemade cookies. She locates Eddie Lamb, saying she's there to thanks everyone who took care of her, and opens the cookie tin to reveal the file she stole.

Spencer asks Eddie about the night Toby's mom died, when he talked to the Detective Wilden. She wants to know why Wilden's notes say Marion Cavanaugh jumped from the roof while his official police report states she jumped out a window. Eddie says it makes no difference, but Spencer thinks Wilden was lying for a reason, and she wants to know why. Spencer wonders if someone paid him off, and Eddie says he was promoted from patrolman to detective awfully fast. When Eddie says it's best to forget all this, Spencer insists that she and Toby deserve answers, and so does Hanna's mother, who is about to take the fall for a murder other people had motive for. [3]

Season 5

In Radley with another detective, Lt. Tanner tells a staff member that she is so disappointed in their lack of co-operation, "but when you change your mind, there's my number". Spencer overhears, so she grabs a magazine and sits on the couch to try and obscure herself. As Eddie walks out, Spencer thanks him for coming out and the pair hug. Eddie tells her he has a few minutes before asking how she is doing, and Spencer tells him she's doing well. She asks if he heard about the Cavanaugh settlement, and he tells her he has, and he's glad the family got some money, but Spencer tells him they would have preferred the truth. Eddie also tells Spencer that he heard about Mrs. DiLaurentis, and when Spencer says she doesn't really think it was a coincidence that Bethany Young was buried in the DiLaurentis backyard, Eddie says that he doesn't either. Spencer asks if Eddie knew Bethany well, and looking over his shoulder, Eddie tells her that if he did, he can't talk about it. Noticing the security camera, Spencer suggests that they get coffee later, and Eddie tells her, "I can't talk about Bethany, or any other patient. Not to cops, reporters, or you". Eddie says that he wishes he could help Spencer, and when someone yells out to him saying he has a phone call, he tells Spencer that it was good seeing her. [4]

Walking through the corridor of Radley, Aria notices Eddie Lamb as she turns into one of the larger open rooms. As Aria is setting the box she was carrying down on a table, Eddie asks if she’s the new volunteer, and she nods in affirmation. After Eddie says her name, Aria freezes before slowly turning towards him, and Eddie questioning whether he mangled how to pronounce her name, but Aria tells him he got it right. Eddie wonders if Aria volunteered for the reading program last year, and when she tells him “nope. No, this is my first time here”, Eddie comments that it feels as though they’ve met before, but Aria tells him she doesn’t think so.

Spencer shows up at Ezra's place to help go through his files and clean things up. She is surprised to see all his spy equipment. Ezra wonders if Spencer talked with Aria. Spencer says that she did and Aria asked her not to let Ezra lift any heavy things. They talk about Eddie, who Spencer doesn't think will help them since it will be bad for his career. Ezra believes that Eddie will come along when the police leave as he believes that he wants them to know something. But Spencer disagrees. She asks to borrow one of his cameras and he agrees to lend one to her.

Rhonda confronts Aria about the painting, which she said was ripped out of her book. She claims that Bethany gave it to her. She threatens Aria that the hands of the thieves are cut off and asks her what she will do when she has no hands. Aria gives it back to her. Rhonda calls Aria a thief thinking that Aria is trying to imply her being a thief when she asks her where she got the drawing. Eddie walks into the room, and asks her what Aria stole from her, but she doesn't tell. Aria texts Emily that things "just got interesting" and she'll be late for dinner.

Eddie stops Aria as she leaves Radley for the night. He wonders why Aria stayed till dark as volunteers don’t usually do that. He notices Bethany’s book in Aria’s bag. Aria says that she is going to be late for a dinner at a friend’s place. After Aria pulls away Eddie places a call to Ezra. Eddie ultimately doesn't show up for his meeting with Ezra. [5]

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin

Season 1

Millwood residents Imogen Adams and Tabby Haworthe head to Rosewood in search of answers about a mentally unstable former patient at Radley Sanitarium, Rose Waters. Radley Sanitarium was converted into a hotel a few years ago, so the girls question the concierge about Radley. He reluctantly points them to Eddie Lamb, who is their maintenance manager. He used to work for Radley before its conversion. He laments that he can't give them his contact information, and the many won't be back until tomorrow. The girls decide to spend the night to wait for Eddie. While getting food from a vending machine, Imogen asks a hotel employee if she knows Eddie. She manages to secure Eddie's contact information through the worker, and they plan to meet-up for breakfast in the morning. [6]

Imogen and Tabby sit with Eddie Lamb in the breakfast area of the Radley. Tabby asks why he kept working there after the sanitarium closed. He was offered a job to help with the transition and he had a mortgage, so he needed the money. Imogen looks through the logs and Eddie tells her that all visitors have to sign in and that was the book. Imogen points to the page, which says that Rose Waters was visited by an A. Waters, though there are different signatures - five of them. He remarks that she caught that. There were five young ladies who traded off and visited under the name “A. Waters”, the A presumably standing for Angela. Imogen asks if he would recognize them and shows him a photo of The Little Liars's moms from 1999. He confirms they were the five girls who visited Rose. He figured it was some sort of community service for school to visit the crazy lady. She was being treated for trauma induced psychosis and then schizophrenia. She never got out, as she was here until the asylum shut down. Some of the patients were sent to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy over in Riverdale, but others like Rose, were released and bussed out of town. Imogen heard a story about Rose attacking a bunch of students at Millwood High School. Eddie confirms that it's true. Rose had a psychotic break after her daughter was raped and then killed herself. Imogen and Tabby are taken aback by the revelation of Angela's rape. According to Rose, it was right before she jumped to her death. [6]
