From the privileged Marshall dynasty, Phyllis is older sister to Sylvia, with whom she has a fraught relationship.
Controlling but benevolent, Phyllis helped raise nephew Victor at the family estate in the North East. Keen to preserve family standards despite her apparently modest "five hundred pounds a year", her arrival in Folkestone is driven by a particular interest in the upbringing of Kitty’s child.
