Roy and Hayley 1 — Roy Cropper and his wife Hayley were together for the best part of two decades.

The Cropper family is primarily represented by Roy Cropper who has lived on Victoria Street since 1999. He currently still works at Roy's Rolls which he owned until 2021 when he put his niece Nina in charge after battling with his morality following his involvement in Natasha Blakeman's death.

Throughout the years Roy's life has been a rollercoaster of emotions with him encountering the love of his life Hayley Patterson in 1998 and dealing with the revelation that she was a transexual, to being tricked and manipulated by Tracy Barlow into believing that her daughter Amy Barlow - who the pair named Patience Cropper - was his, losing Hayley in 2014 to a battle with pancreatic cancer and a failed engagement to Cathy Matthews in 2016.

Roy and Hayley began dabbling in the foster care system in 2001 and found themselves entertaining Jackie Mosley for a fortnight. Further placements included Fiz Brown and the unofficial caring of Wayne Hayes whose involvement saw the Croppers facing criminal conviction after abducting him to escape his abusive stepfather Alex Swinton. The pair also took several other wayward residents under their wing including; Becky Granger and Carla Connor, Roy continued this tradition after Hayley's death by taking in Shona Ramsey and his long-lost niece Nina Lucas.
