I totally agree, the producers and scriptwriters almost managed to ruin one of Corrie's greatest couples. They took the trouble to create an iconic, groundbreaking character such as Hayley, and ended up trashing her reputation. All for the purpose of writing an exit storyline for Julie Hesmondhalgh, who was pregnant at the time.Why didn’t the producers write a nice story for Roy and Hayley where they got to foster Wayne officially instead of this Alex rubbish and going on the run.
And… I don’t believe that Roy wouldn’t go anywhere without a razor to shave. Either that or he’s trying to grow a beard to look incognito. Just a stupid story all round.
What was worse, was the producers and scriptwriters did not learn from their mistakes. They came up with the Roy and Tracy Barlow scenario a few years later!
