There's a beautiful tribute to Hayley Cropper in the Guardian.

You may also wish to read our exclusive interview with the the real-life woman
who worked with and advised Corrie on the character of transsexual
Hayley. Working with Press for Change, the lobbying and educational
organisation, which campaigns to achieve equal civil rights and
liberties for all transsexual people in the UK, she’s been the advisor to Coronation Street since April 1998, three months after Hayley first appeared on screen.

What a thoroughly nice article - no more than Hayley deserves, mind you.
I was nodding all the way through that article - what a lovely tribute!
