Storylines
Hayley is the sister of Huw Edwards, who tries to contact her brother in February 1998 to tell him that their father has died. She leaves messages with Huw's friend Lenny Wallace, but Huw denies knowing anyone called Hayley (he had fallen out with his family when he was caught in bed with his fiancée's sister). Hayley then arrives in Walford to persuade him to attend the funeral, but he flatly refuses until the last minute, when he takes the train home to Wales with her.
