Template:25 August

25th August 2003: Tracy Barlow's determination to win a childish bet that she could have any man she wanted ended badly after she drugged Roy Cropper date-rape style and he spent the night in her bed. After finding out that Tracy was pregnant, Hayley thought it was the end of the line for the two of them and left him, intending to fly to Amsterdam and take up residence there. Roy already depressed over the news that Tracy was considering an abortion, decided that suicide was the only answer for him and took an overdose of pills. He rang Hayley just before lying down on his bed to die and, realising there was something seriously wrong with him, she returned to the cafe and forced him to drink salt water after discovering what he had done. The two, spared disaster, were reconciled.
