Darcy Haywood was a classmate of Hope Stape and daughter of Isla.
In November 2021, at a party for another classmate, Isla saw Hope's father Tyrone arguing with the classmate's mother Penny for not inviting Hope. This prompted Isla to ask Tyrone out for a milkshake with their daughters later that day, while also praising Hope for supporting Darcy at school.
During the milkshakes at Roy's Rolls, Darcy and Hope played on their phones while the two adults engaged in flirtatious chatter. The girls commented on how obvious it was when they were being talked about, and when Isla asked Tyrone out for a drink, they made fun of their respective parents for fancying each other.
