Two parts girl-next-door to one part bitch, Hayley is all charm, smiles and raspberry lip balm
on the surface but a devious wee schemer underneath. No wonder, then, that Ms Smith gets on better with the boys than the
girls.
Though Hayley is usually prepared to give people a chance, we strongly advise you not to incur her wrath. The
woman has an uncanny ability to make the lives of others an abject misery (Hello Irene! Hello Gypsy!). She may forget, but
she'll never forgive.
After whipping Noah Lawson, Alex Poulos, and Donald Fisher (possibly) into boyfriend material,
Hayley set her sights upon putting her other talents to good use. A graffiti artist extraordinaire, there's barely a surface
in Summer Bay without Hayley's mark on it. Now she's taken her artistic streak even further with her university course, and
she even managed to win a posho art scholarship in Gay Paree. Let's just hope it helps to keep the knives in the drawer.
