Hilary (Episodes 9067/8)

Hilary was the wife of Hank, a clothing retailer and a customer of Underworld who attended a New Year's Eve party hosted by Johnny Connor in his flat in December 2016. Johnny's girlfriend, Jenny Bradley, was in her element as she swanked around and eagerly agreed with Hilary when she said that she always looked forward to her post-Christmas holiday. She couldn't believe her luck when she told Hilary told her that she and Johnny would be joining them as some of their favourite clients on their fully-crewed yacht in the Bahamas in a few weeks' time. Johnny had been called away on urgent business and returned way after the midnight countdown, grimy and covered with engine oil from his van breaking down. Jenny rushed him away to get changed, telling Hilary that Eva Price (or "Diva" as she cattily referred to her) would look after her.

Later on, when Johnny announced to the party his retirement from the business and handing over control to son Aidan, Hilary was unaware that Jenny's hopes had been cruelly dashed.
