▲* [[I Am Not My Father]]: comparisons to dad Ken are something of a [[Berserk Button]]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: the main reason his relationship is strained is because his father shipped him and his twin sister of to their Scottish grandparents at the age of six following the death of their mother. To be fair though it was [[Values Dissonance|how it was done in those days]]

▲* [[Only Sane Woman]]: frequently when husband Roy gets carried away with his eccentricities, or at Underworld where she is the supervisor.
* [[Plucky Girl]] in a street full of them Hayley is a standout although still a bit too practical to be a [[Pollyanna]]
