Sylvia Goodwin (formerly Cropper) is the mother of Roy Cropper. She previously resided at 16a Victoria Street, the flat above Roy's Rolls, with Roy and wife Hayley. The relationship between the outspoken and harridan-like Sylvia and Roy, whom she labelled a "disappointment", was fraught from the start. Her marriage to second husband Roger Goodwin further soured relations between the two, leading to Roy's departure from the family home aged sixteen.
