CS: Why kill Hayley if Becky isn't coming back?
Why not just have Hayley leave for some reason, then Becky didn't have to come back. We all know Hayley and Becky were close so why would she not return to comfort Roy?
The best logical storyline would be for Hayley to depart for some other reason, other than dying. Then Becky wouldn't need to return. |

But Hayley would never leave Roy, and Julie made it clear that she was leaving Corrie for good.

I always wanted it that she would come back one day, but now no Hayley, well that is looking an impossibility now, to me anyway |

Sometimes people can't make it back for funerals even though they loved the person. It does happen, especially when somebody lives as far away as Becky does in Corrie. |

Has there been any mention of Becky? Like a card or a phonecall?

I'm not sure I buy the 'Hayley would never leave Roy' theory.....the most solid and secure of couples can break up. |

Why put everything on hold because a character isn't in it anymore? So what if Katherine Kelly had returned yet Julie had no desire to return? They don't need her in this storyline, David Neilson is doing fine enough as it is.
Its time people just accepted the fact Becky isn't returning and Katherine Kelly is busy. |

Because Julie said she was leaving for good so wanted a definite end for the character and Hayley's character and her story does not revolve around Becky.
The show and its characters shouldn't dictate a storyline around another character/actor who left over two years ago. |

She went off to Africa for a whole year once. Maybe she did not leave him but they didnt see each other for a whole year.
As someone else said, the show doesn't revolve around Kate Kelly and they can't change other plots just because she is unable or unwilling to return for a cameo. |

Also, in reality, it was a maternity leave
She had her child in 2001.

![]() I really don't get this 'Bring back xyz' thing we've got going on DS at all. Characters come and go. None of them, (not even poor loved by all Hayley), are bigger than the great, trundling, steamroller-like machine that constitutes any soap. |

She couldn't handle her ale either - no way would she drink Uncle Q under the table. Not in a month of Sundays. |

As soon as she knew she couldn't have kids, she was determined to make the whole world suffer for it. Right flaky bint she was.![]() You, me and Becky in a drinking contest would be ace though. After I (obviously) win without even trying, I could pour you two onto a train to the Valleys and I bet she'd be up the duff before you got within 100 miles of Swansea.

The difference here though was that within the reality of the show it was a humanitarian act and Roy and Hayley knew that she would be coming back. Kind people do these things. my godmother who is a Nurse went out to Romania for 6 months about 20 years ago to help with the extreme conditions and orphans - she still loved her husband, they had been married for nearly 30 years and are still married now. Also, in reality, it was a maternity leave so knew it was for a contained period of time. The actress doesn't want to come back or the door to be left open this time.
As someone else said, the show doesn't revolve around Kate Kelly and they can't change other plots just because she is unable or unwilling to return for a cameo. Seems to be soap's biggest myth that Roy and Hayley were this unbreakable couple when she clearly had a roving eye

But didn't Hayley develop feelings for some doctor over there?

I'm starting to understand now why her poor son Christian chinned her than time. |
