Hilary Smart was a community care worker who called to see Tracy Barlow after she returned home following the birth of her daughter Amy in February 2004. She was unaware that she had handed over the baby to Roy and Hayley Cropper in return for £25,000, having previously conned Roy into thinking that he has the father of the child after Tracy drugged him and claimed she’d slept with him in order to win a bet with Bev Unwin, Steve McDonald being the real father. Tracy curtly redirected Hillary to Roy’s Rolls and shut the door of 7 Coronation Street in her face.
